Aussie news-Man jailed over 'reign of sexual terror' on students

A homeless Sydney man, Brendan Dennison who subjected four international students to a "reign of sexual terror" in a Sydney apartment has been sentenced to 28 years in jail. He repeatedly raped an 18-year-old Chinese student and her Korean boyfriend before she fell to her death trying to escape. The male victim also fell from the balcony while attempting to help his girlfriend. Dennison's sentencing in the Supreme Court heard he was on a drug binge and had no memory of the sickening attack. He had been using drugs consistently since the age of 17 or 18. He was remorseful for his actions and was getting treatment for his addiction in jail.

He was sexually abused as a child by relatives within the Aboriginal community in which he lived and was affected by witnessing the death of his father who died from a heart attack when Dennison was aged seven.

  1. What do I think?

    The reasons on youngster involved themselves in social issues or crimes in the past are still relevant to the current world. One of them would be influence of family background. Parents should really look into this issue seriously. Unfortunately, the percentage of divorce rate in the world is increasing. This will introduce lots of harmful effects to their children physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Parents have to be more concern. They should think of their children future before they emotionally make any decision.
