Anti-libido medication monitoring for Bulli rapist Terry John ­Williamson

BULLI rapist Terry John ­Williamson should be supervised past his parole period to ensure he takes “anti-libido’’ medication.

BULLI rapist Terry John ­Williamson should be supervised past his parole period to ensure he takes “anti-libido’’ medication aimed at preventing him from reoffending, a court heard yesterday.

The state has sought a ­Supreme Court order to ­impose continued monitoring of Williamson, whose two-year supervised parole period is due to finish on May 15.

Williamson terrorised the Illawarra area for nine months in the early 1990s, raping 10 female victims aged from five to 43 and an 11-year-old boy. He was released from Silverwater jail in February, 2012, almost eight years after his mandatory non-parole ­period of 22 years expired.

The state’s Parole Authority imposed a raft of tight ­conditions on the now 44-year-old’s release, including electronic monitoring, a ­curfew and banning him from the Illawarra area.

During his sickening spree, Williamson used a police scanner to avoid detection and attacked some of his ­victims inside their homes.

His first victim was a 13-year-old, who he attacked at Bulli High School in August, 1989. The Supreme Court heard yesterday that Williamson’s rehabilitation is improving “in a stable and progressive way.”

Barrister David Kell, acting for the state, said “it is imperative that it continues and it continues in a structural way.”

The court was told Williamson has been taking anti-libido medication and the state believes he should remain supervised to ensure he takes it. Mr Kell said if the supervision stopped and Williamson no longer took the drug, “it would rapidly escalate the risk of reoffending”.

Williamson’s counsel Matt Johnston said he would not oppose an interim order which would continue the supervision until the court passes judgment.

Justice Richard Button reserved his decision yesterday.
