CONVICTIONS RECORDED
CARNAL KNOWLEDGE OF A PERSON WITH AN IMPAIRMENT
KATRINA LOUISE HARRINGTON, 39
Harrington, a disability support worker, lured an intellectually disabled man in her care into having unprotected sex with her twice.
She manipulated the victim to visit her house while he was trialling living independently.
Crown prosecutor Evan O’Hanlon-Rose said Harrington told the victim he didn’t need to wear a condom and that he should give her the “stuff from his penis” so she could fall pregnant.
Harrington pleaded guilty in the District Court in Gladstone to two counts of unlawful carnal knowledge of a person with an impairment of the mind, part way through a trial.
She had initially pleaded not guilty but changed her plea after the prosecution presented its case.
Harrington was sentenced on September 15, 2021, to four years imprisonment with 16 months of actual incarceration, with the rest suspended for five years.
CHILD SEXUAL OFFENDERS
KENNETH BRUCE PRIGG, 48
Prigg, a former aged care worker and nurse, groomed a 13-year-old girl via Instagram, who told him she was 15 when the pair began chatting.
The exchanges took place during a six day period in August, 2022.
Crown prosecutor Ken Spinaze told the court Prigg, from Biloela, sent photos of his genitalia, video which sometimes showed him masturbating and engaged in sexualised conversations, including talking about the pair having sex, how she would travel from the city to Biloela by bus and what to tell her parents.
Judge Jeff Clarke said the evidence before the court showed Prigg repeatedly asked the child for nude selfies, called her “sexy” and asked if she was a virgin.
Prigg pleaded guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton to 10 counts of indecent treatment of a child and one of using electronic communication to procure a child.
He was sentenced to 18 months in jail, suspended after he serves six months with an operational period of four years.
BART JOEL CRIACO, 39
Criaco, an ex-Sunshine Coast roofer, molested a 14-year-old girl who the Supreme Court in Rockhampton heard was bullied into taking drugs to the point of unconsciousness.
Criaco was busted for the life-ruining act after the teen victim escaped the clutches of two men and ran to safety.
Police matched DNA on the victim’s body to Criaco after finding a photo which showed him molesting the girl on his phone with the caption “she tastes like fresh milk”, the court heard.
He pleaded guilty on October 12, 2023, to one count of indecent treatment of a child, one of distributing child exploitation material, one of possessing over two grams of a schedule one drug and two counts of possessing a dangerous drug.
Crown prosecutor Cameron Keast said Criaco’s co-accused allegedly gave the victim and her friend methamphetamine and amphetamine.
The co-accused allegedly convinced the victim to return to his apartment.
When she got there, she sat on the bed and passed out but later woke to find Criaco, and allegedly the co-accused, molesting her.
She managed to flee and when police arrived at the address, they found 43.66 grams of pure methamphetamines in 64.972 grams of substance in six clip seal bags, 51.54g of marijuana in two clip seal bags and two MDMA tablets in the apartment.
Justice Crow sentenced Criaco to a five-years’ in jail, declared the 572 days of presentence custody as time served and gave him immediate parole eligibility.
SCOT DAVID TOWLE, 28
Towle, a convicted child sex offender, had sex with a child half his age while he was high on drugs and alcohol.
Crown prosecutor Ryan Godfrey said Towle was at a Queensland residence sometime in June or July 2022 where he and the 13-year-old victim were socialising.
Mr Godfrey said the victim and Towle were in a bedroom with a third person with the child lying on the bed on her phone while Towle played PlayStation.
He said after the third person left, Towle closed the bedroom door and laid on top of the child.
Mr Godfrey said he then got up, removed his and her pants before engaging in sex with the child.
He said the unprotected sex stopped when someone came to the door and said someone had arrived to pick up Towle.
Towle pleaded guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton in September 2023 to one count of carnal knowledge.
Judge Jeff Clarke sentenced Towle to 2.5 years prison, suspended after serving 401 days, declared 401 days presentence custody as time already served and set a five-year operational period for the sentence.
DARREN GLEN EBELT, 31
Ebelt emailed an American woman, 27, and her daughter, 12, and had sexualised conversations in the Google Chat app with both between September 21 and November 8, 2022, “professing his desire to engage (both), sometimes at the same time, sometimes just (the child), in high level sexual acts”.
Crown Prosecutor Ryan Godfrey said the fantasies escalated over time including Ebelt saying he wanted to have babies with the child.
The clinically diagnosed paedophile was subjected to reporting conditions under the Child Protection (Offender Reporting) Act 2004, which were how his crimes were detected.
Ebelt pleaded guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton in August 2023 to one count using electronic communication with intent to procure a child under 16 for a sexual act, two of failing to comply with reporting conditions and one of failing to notify information as required by the Child Protection Act.
Judge Clarke ordered Ebelt finish serving the two-year suspended sentence he received in 2022, plus serve a further 12 months on top of that for the fresh offences.
Ebelt was eligible for parole on April 4, 2024.
MAURICE JAMES COX, 68
Cox, a convicted paedophile with a longstanding sexual attraction to children with impulse control issues, talked to two girls aged under 13 via video, asking sexual questions and asking them to carry out sexual acts during Skype video calls within weeks of being sentenced in the District Court in Rockhampton for grooming children.
Crown prosecutor Caleb Theunissen said on a police check on June 8, 2022, they found a phone which contained evidence of the calls and they also found he had created seven social media accounts and two emails accounts.
He said one of the victims was an 11-year-old girl living in Canada and the other was 13, living in Florida.
The court heard Cox procured the girls to masturbate on the video calls. He also possessed naked images.
Cox communicated with the two girls between June 1-8, 2022.
Cox pleaded guilty on July 25, 2023, to one count of using electronic communications to procure a child under 12, one of using electronic communications to procure a child under 16, one of possessing child exploitation material and 10 counts of failing to comply with child sex offender reporting requirements.
He was sentenced to 14 months prison, to start after he had finished the remaining 21 months of his 2022 sentence, where he received a three-year prison term, suspended after serving 15 months.
Cox was given immediate parole eligibility, meaning he had to convince the parole board to release him from prison.
NATHAN COREY NIXON, 36
Nixon used his phone to get a photo under a 15-year-old girl’s dress while she was out doing a grocery shop at Woolworths with her with her father and brother in Biloela on May 7, 2022.
The trio and Nixon were “completely unknown” to each other.
Nixon was seen by the girl’s father who tried to stop him running away.
Crown prosecutor Luke Smoothy told the court Nixon deleted the photo from his phone to get rid of the evidence.
Nixon later went to the police station where he denied taking the photo, saying he was taking a picture of a special in the store.
But his lies were caught out when he was shown CCTV footage of himself committing the offence.
Nixon, 36, pleaded guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton on June 22, 2023 to one count of indecent treatment of a child under 16.
He was sentenced to nine months imprisonment, wholly suspended for 18 months after serving two months.

Tanskanen moved the girl’s swimmers aside and then touched her genitalia.
Tanskanen pleaded guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton on April 27, 2023, to one count of indecent treatment of a child under 12.

Brown used a family member’s phone to create Snapchat, Instagram and Gmail accounts to contact at least 10 children aged seven to 15, asking them for naked pictures of themselves, and swapped child exploitation material with other offenders.
Brown, who is a reportable convicted sex offender, failed to report to authorities that he had access to a mobile phone and that he used it to create accounts on the social media apps.
He also failed to report he had contact with children.
Crown prosecutor Maryam Yousufzai said Brown tried to send an 11-year-old girl a photograph of his genitalia.
She said Brown, pretending to be a 12-year-old, asked his youngest victim about her sex life with her ex-boyfriend and asked for photographs.
Ms Yousufzai said he sent messages to another account asking, “Do you like little kids nudes? Do you have any little kids nudes?”
Brown pleaded guilty in the District Court in Emerald on December 8, 2022, to 17 offences including distributing and possessing child exploitation material, indecent treatment of a child, using a carriage service to harass or menace, and using the internet to procure a child.

Lee-Hong sexually exploited a 14-year-old girl, who lived in Western Australia, through Facebook messenger and video calls.
The girl’s parents met Lee-Hong gaming online with their PlayStation.
Crown prosecutor Matthew Sutton said police executed a search warrant on Lee-Hong’s residence in January 2021, locating 740 child exploitation images of the victim.
The court heard Lee-Hong’s exploitation of the child took place over an eight-month period – between March 14, 2020, and November 9, 2020.
The abuse involved Lee-Hong getting the child to perform sex acts while in a video call, and have her iPad focus on her as she took showers, while on video calls.
He also had the girl send him photographs of her naked breasts.
Lee-Hong pleaded guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton to one count of maintaining a sexual relationship with a child, 14 counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16 with various subcategories of the offence, and two counts of possessing child exploitation material.

Richards sexually abused five pre-pubescent Central Queensland girls over a six-year period.
Judge Jeff Clarke sentenced Richards to nine years’ prison and declared 39 days pre-sentence custody.
He did not make any orders in relation to parole which means, because Richards took the matter to trial, that he will have to serve at least half of that nine-year sentence.
NICHOLAS LAWRENCE GEORGE COLLIS, 23
Collis filmed himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl he had convinced to travel 480km to Central Queensland.
The District Court in Rockhampton heard the man and the child met each other in May 2021 in a Western Downs town and he communicated with her on Snapchat and via SMS after they met.
“He encouraged the teen to meet him and have sexual intercourse with him,” Crown prosecutor Maryam Yousufzai said.
The court heard the pair first had sex in a motel in the Western Downs region in October, evident by the film he recorded of the act and dialogue Collis used in messages to the teen afterwards where he convinced her to travel to Central Queensland for more sex.
Collis pleaded guilty on August 23, 2022, to one count of making child exploitation material, two of carnal knowledge and one of using electronic communication to procure a child.

Crown prosecutor Samantha O’Rourke said Holt was subject to a probation order handed down in 1977 for unlawful carnal knowledge with the brother of the current victims, and continued to offend against the current victims while on that probation order.
Holt was convicted and sentenced to nine years prison for maintaining a sexual relationship with another victim, aged six to 11, after a jury found him guilty in 2018.

RAPE
WAYNE WILSON, 67

Crown prosecutor Matthew Sutton said Wilson knew the woman and asked her to visit for dinner.
He said Wilson called her into his bedroom under the pretence to show her some of his wife’s clothes.
Judge Jeff Clarke said Wilson tried to undress the victim, but she resisted him.

The court heard Lui, who was in his early 20s at the time, picked the victim up and carried out non-consensual sexual acts at a park before taking her to a Rockhampton motel and raping her about 35 years ago.
Lui, who was one of eight children raised in Sarina and went on to work with Indigenous youth at the Gold Coast and coach children’s sporting teams, had denied the offending for decades, despite many people knowing Lui was in the company of the victim at the time of the offence.
Judge Jeff Clarke did not make any further orders in relation to the sentence, but Queensland laws are that a person convicted in a trial must serve at least of half of their prison term.

The intruder then touched her inner thighs before using his fingers to rub her genitalia over the top of her pyjama bottoms.
Crown prosecutor Ryan Godfrey said she woke up to this and “unsurprisingly, screamed and shouted”, “what the hell are you doing?”.
She threatened to phone the police if McInerney did not leave but he backed towards the window and yelled, “don’t worry sister, I’m going out the back now” and left.
McInerney pleaded guilty in the District Court in Emerald in May 2023 to one count of burglary and sexual assault and was sentenced to 2.5 years prison, cumulative of the 12 months remaining of his suspended sentence.

NO CONVICTION RECORDED
CHILD SEXUAL OFFENCES
SHANE MACKLIN, 56
Macklin, a former auxiliary firefighter and grandfather, pleaded guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton on May 23 to “grooming a child with intent to expose to indecent matter”.
The court heard he initiated a private online conversation on July 21, 2022, with who he thought was a 13-year-old named Zoe, and 11 months later, was charged.
Crown prosecutor Ryan Minuti said Zoe was a fictitious profile created by a Queensland Police Service officer who pretended to be a 13-year-old girl.
Mr Minuti said Zoe told Macklin she was 13 and “not to get angry”.
“After some discussion, the defendant responded ‘would you get angry if I put my hand in your panties?’,” the court heard.
Chief Judge Brian Devereaux said the exchange between Macklin and Zoe quickly became sexualised and Macklin “sent messages of a disgusting nature considering you were talking to, you thought, a 13-year-old girl”.
Mr Minuti said Macklin repeatedly asked the child what sexual actions she would be “okay with”.
As a result of Macklin’s conviction for grooming a child, he is now a reportable offender for the next 10 years.
Judge Devereaux placed Macklin on an 18-month probation order and no conviction was recorded.
JOEL DAVID HENRY BRADBURY, 23
Bradbury had unprotected sex with a 14-year-old girl three times in a Gladstone motel room in 2019 when he was 19.
The District Court at Gladstone heard the girl had told him she was “about 17”, but when she arrived at the motel, he “knew that she was clearly younger than that.”
The Townsville man asked the girl if she wanted to have sex and the girl “said yes”, the court heard.
“There was then some foreplay before there were three acts of sexual intercourse,” Judge Craig Chowdhury said.
Bradbury pleaded guilty in the District Court at Gladstone in February to three counts of carnal knowledge.
Before handing down sentence, Judge Chowdhury noted Bradbury had not offended since these incidents.
Bradbury was placed on two years’ probation.
No conviction was recorded.
BEN DOUGLAS JAMES DINGLEY, 22
Dingley, a soccer player and coach, secretly filmed his partner in the shower while he masturbated and then shared the video with a child on Snapchat.
Crown prosecutor Maryam Yousufzai said the video recording took place during Dingley’s two year relationship with the victim.
She said the second victim was contacted by Snapchat with the defendant telling her he needed a ‘root’ and comparing the child’s body to his former girlfriend’s before sharing the shower video with the child.
Police searched Dingley’s Norman Gardens residence on April 9, 2022, and found the video on his phone.
Ms Yousufzai said the 14-year-old girl told police she felt uncomfortable and “weirded out” by Dingley’s actions.
Dingley was handed a two-year probation order by Judge Jeff Clarke after pleading guilty in the District Court in Rockhampton to one count of distributing a recording without permission and one of indecent treatment of a child via a film.
Judge Clarke also ordered no convictions be recorded for the young man who had no prior convictions.
