FROM discovering the “playboy rapist” has a new girlfriend, to revealing Mark Latham was busted speeding, The Snitch reveals all the law and courts news and gossip in our latest Sunday Telegraph column.
THE DANGEROUS POWER OF CHARM
CONVICTED rapist Simon Monteiro was not even out of jail before he landed a new girlfriend. And one of his alleged victims and former girlfriends, Kay Schubach, has a message for the woman: “Please, be careful.”
Monteiro, who became known as the “playboy rapist”, formed a relationship with a single mother from Sydney’s north shore while he was still behind bars.
Snitch approached the woman to understand how the relationship formed but she declined to comment.
The woman explained she had children and didn’t want them to be exposed or bullied if her story was in the media.
In 2008, Monteiro was jailed for 12 years for bashing, raping and twice impregnating a woman in an eastern suburbs home. He lost subsequent appeals but is soon to be released with his sentence due to expire.
The woman has been seen at one of Monteiro’s parole hearings although there are rumours the pair have broken up.
Ms Schubach was in a relationship with Monteiro for two months in 2003.
In that time, she alleges he was violent and strangled her.
“I don’t want to blame her, because it’s the power of his charm and persuasion,” Ms Schubach said.
“Anyone who forms a relationship with him is a potential victim. I don’t want her to feel stupid. It happened to me, too. He hooks you in and you want to believe his story. It’s like this Stockholm syndrome where you’re Bonnie and Clyde versus the world.”
Monteiro’s next parole hearing is on November 6.
HE FELT THE NEED...
FORMER Labor leader and one time prime ministerial hopeful Mark Latham has had to fess up that he was the mystery driver of a car that was pinged speeding in the cross city tunnel.
Latham’s white Hyundai sedan was clocked doing 96km/h in the 80km/h cross city tunnel at 6.44am on January 27.
But because the car is registered in the name of Latham’s company, Imperial Sports and Politics, the controversial ex-pollie was looking at a steep $1345 fine and the loss of six demerit points unless he nominated the name of the driver.
Latham missed a March deadline to do so and the matter landed in the Downing Centre Local Court.
He was convicted of speeding and fined $250.

LET’S MAKE A DEAL, MY SON
THE child of which business identity has been caught living a double life as a drug dealer? And we’re not talking slinging small amounts, with police charging him with supplying sizeable amounts of the drug ice.
The business identity’s offspring also had access to large amounts of cocaine, MDMA and cash. The person in question came to the attention of police and detectives launched a six month surveillance operation.
The matter is still at a delicate stage so we will reveal more at a later date.
MR LAW AND HIS NOT SO FANCY WHEELS
AS a general rule, if you insist on having vanity numberplates, they should be attached to a car impressive enough to offset their often tragic nature.
“Mr Law” must have missed the memo because a Holden Cruz sedan just isn’t cutting it. Snitch spotted Mr Law outside Waverley Local Court recently.
We presume he’s a lawyer because of the location and the nature of the plates, but we’d love
to know who it is.
We presume he’s attempting to follow in the footsteps the rare few lawyers who have pulled off the vanity plate look.
Think Zemarai Khatiz who we’re told has “Not Guilty” plates on a Ferrari or Chris Murphy who once sported “VERBAL” plates in a dig at the cops.
Although we hear Murphy’s car was keyed on a regular basis.
A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
LATIFAH Ahmad has tried to stand by her man. Unfortunately for the gangster’s wife that means copping a day in court after she was caught trying to smuggle tobacco into Goulburn Supermax jail.
The 40-year-old partner of southwest Sydney crime figure Ahmad “Rock” Ahmad was caught red-handed entering the maximum security prison, home for her incarcerated hubby, on September 8 with tobacco.
The leaf is a sought after commodity in jail, especially in the state’s most secure compound where it can be traded inside for hundreds of dollars.
Mrs Ahmad was denied entry and is now banned from visiting.
To add insult to injury she was charged with attempting to deliver something to an inmate and will have to front court later this month.
A SILKY RISE AFTER TRAGEDY
SHE has battled away in the courtroom and been a champion for women rising through the legal ranks, all in the wake of losing a close friend in Sydney’s Lindt Cafe siege.
Now barrister Anna Mitchelmore has been elevated to the pool of NSW’s finest legal minds.
The Sixth Floor Selborne Wentworth Chambers barrister was one of four women in a group of 19 barristers appointed silk last week.
Ms Mitchelmore, who is well-versed in criminal and administrative law, is also involved in the Katrina Dawson Foundation, which supports young aspiring female barristers.
