UPDATE | Mon 25 June, 10.27am — The Court of Criminal Appeal has dismissed a DPP challenge to stop the release of Humprhys, but the notorious paedophile will remain in prison after new laws were passed last week.
*
Convicted paedophile Colin Humphrys looks set to remain in prison after the upper house passed a law preventing the release of sex offenders who are unwilling or unable to change their behaviour.
According to The Advertiser:
“The Bill passed the Upper House with bipartisan support after a number of Labor amendments were rejected by the majority of MPs. The legislation is expected to pass the Lower House shortly after Question Time on Thursday afternoon.”
A decision to release Humphrys is currently before the courts. His offending record stretches back three decades.
