Protection of child molesters and other criminals bycorrupt Police and other Government Officials in Victoria.



What follows is a copy of a document tendered before a Senate inquiry on 14th October 1997 in Melbourne.

Recently there has been substantial publicity given to protection of high-ranking officials who are also paedophiles or actively protecting paedophiles and other criminals in NSW. There is similar protection of these criminals in Victoria. Likewise for other states including South Australia and Western Australia.

For some years known child molester Brett David Winduss, of Oswin Street, Kew, Victoria, was allowed to engage in serious criminal activity with full knowledge of government officials in Victoria.

Winduss's criminal activities had become known to authorities as far back as 1991, but he was allowed to continue for several reasons, including due to his being a rent-a-witness used by corrupt Police to prosecute innocent people of crimes they hadn't committed.

Winduss would be called as a witness and falsely swear (commit perjury - another serious jailable offense), that the accused (innocent person) had committed crimes that they hadn't done. (By the way, Winduss has even (accidentally) admitted to doing this in a tape recorded conversation). It appears to be a common practice by Victorian Police to use known criminals as rent-a-witnesses in court cases against innocent accused (usually corruption whistleblowers), in order to secure convictions against them. In return the rent-a-witnesses are not prosecuted for their crimes which include serious matters such as drug trafficking, assaults, thefts, murders and child molesting.

On May 3rd 1996, Brett David Winduss came unstuck when he was jailed for some of his varied criminal activity. He was jailed by County Court Judge Roland P. L. Lewis for 12 months after pleading guilty and being convicted of abducting/molesting a 10 year old child in Mount Street, Kew. This incident happened on Wednesday December 27th, 1995. Winduss was intercepted by a neighbor who had noticed the girl's pushbike apparently abandoned on the footpath.

The sentence for this offence was notably light and this is no doubt due to the fact that the case was heard by a Judge who is known to have aided and abetted corruption in Victoria and has a reputation for being a "Police Judge".

Prior to this case, Winduss's criminal activities had been known to many corrupt officials and/or brought to their attention, who were betraying public trust by protecting him and actively ensuring that he was not brought to justice - in other words allowing him to continue. Included among those who were protecting him were the following people.

State Politicians, including Victor Perton, MP for Doncaster, David Perrin, MP for Bulleen, Jeffrey Gibb Kennett, Victorian Premier, and others.
Police Officers, Richard George Valentine, Craig Sharkie, Joan Spence, key officers in the Internal Investigations Division and others.
State Ombudsman's Office Officials, Barry Perry and others.
Magistrate Iain West.
County Court Judge Gordon Lewis.

In a separate case on October 14 1997, Judge Nixon of the County Court allowed child molester Gregory Vincent Coffey (48) of Stoney Creek Road, North Warrandyte to walk out of the County Court a free man after he was convicted of indecently assaulting two school boys, while principal at Preston Catholic School. Coffey was able to walk free from the court without even so much as a paying a fine. He was not jailed either, giving the man further encouragement to re-offend, knowing that the judiciary had no concern for such crimes. That the last statement is true is borne out by Coffey's past performances.

This is not the first time the repeat child molester (Coffey) has been protected by the judiciary. In at least two previous cases, allegedly corrupt Magistrates had allowed Coffey to walk free from Preston Court after he'd been found guilty by the court of assaulting students. He had been similarly protected for his illegal and indecent assaults on young people by the South Australian authorities when caught out in that state. A South Australian court allowed Coffey to walk away without paying a fine or any other penalty after he was found guilty of yet another indecent assault.

Nixon has substantial form for being biased against corruption whistleblowers, while at the same time being lenient on hardened criminals whose activities are often supported by corrupt Police.

In a separate case, Nixon unsuccessfully attempted to direct a jury to convict "NAME SUPPRESSED" on a falsified charge of make threat to kill against three members of State Parliament. The jury refused Nixon's wishes and acquitted him.

Paedophile former SA magistrate Peter Liddy to win back rare coins, firearms upon release from jail
COURT REPORTER ANDREW DOWDELL ADELAIDENOW APRIL 03, 2013 1:00PM



PAEDOPHILE magistrate Peter Liddy will be given back valuable coins and firearms when he is released from prison, prompting claims he has manipulated the system to avoid his victims getting access to the dregs of his estate.

District Court judge Julie McIntyre today ruled Liddy should be entitled to receive back a number of items including 18th-century firearms, rare 17th century coins and other historic heirlooms found in shipwrecks.

The items were among possessions seized by police investigating an alleged theft of Liddy's estate after he was jailed in 2001 for a minimum of 18 years for sexually abusing junior lifesavers in the 1980s.

Because no prosecution was ever undertaken into the alleged theft, the items were returned to the Commissioner of Police - who in turn said he had no claim over the items.

Liddy, 63, sought the return of many of the items, as did one of his former victims and Channel 7 - which said it intended to return the proceeds from the sale of the items back to Liddy's victims.

Channel 7 lawyer Peter Campbell said Judge McIntyre's decision to give back some of Liddy's items meant he had "achieved exactly what he attempted to achieve".

Mr Campbell said Liddy had concocted stories that he had given away certain items to his mother or had concealed the belongings to prevent them from being seized when a freezing order was placed on his estate when he was convicted of the sexual offences.

Most of Liddy's $1.3m estate was frittered away in legal bills before his victims ultimately received $10,000 compensation each.

"We are concerned that some of those items will be returned to Mr Liddy, we say it is almost rewarding Mr Liddy for the way in which he sought to move items out of reach of the injunction ... this will allow him to achieve his exact purpose he sought to achieve," Mr Campbell said.

Judge McIntyre adjourned the case until May, when Channel 7 lawyers will argue that they should be granted access to the remainder of the items still in dispute.

Guilty plea: Simon Cooper is set to resign as a magistrate after admitting indecent assaults on two teenage brothers Photo: Michael Clayton-Jones
A former Crown prosecutor once thought worthy to be considered for the role of Victoria's chief magistrate now faces a prison sentence after admitting indecent assaults on two teenage brothers that began about 30 years ago.
Magistrate Simon Cooper's crash to disgrace continued on Tuesday in Melbourne Magistrates Court where he had prosecuted and sentenced offenders for crimes similar to those he has committed, which carry a maximum five-year term.
Cooper, 56, pleaded guilty to seven charges of indecent assault, including six on one boy, between 1984 and 1986. Six charges of attempted rape were struck out.
Fairfax Media has learnt he will now resign as a magistrate after being suspended since charges were brought against him in January.
