  • Werribee teens convicted

    Seven convicted over Werribee sex DVD assault:

    Seven teens were convicted over the infamous Werribee, Australia rape DVD because let’s face it, it was nothing short of rape.

    The group took her to nearby river parkland where they began filming their activity, surrounding her in a circle and chanting “The Victim” – the title of the segment in which she featured on the DVD.

    The youths cheered and chanted as she was urinated on, set alight, poked with sticks and made to perform sex acts.

    Her clothes are taken and thrown in muddy water with two boys using her mascara to scrawl the title of the movie across her chest.

    You’d think they’d receive jail time but that’s what we get for thinkin’.

    Of the eight who pleaded guilty six were placed on strict youth supervision orders for up to 18 months and two on year-long probation.

    All will be required to attend a counseling program for young sex offenders.

    I don’t know what it’s like in Australia but here in The States, we all know how well counseling works. It rarely does. I’m sure these kids will be back in trouble with the law before we know it.

  • Werribee victim may have to testify

    Trio to plead not guilty over DVD attack:

    Alleged victim to appear at DVD trial:

    Three suspects in the infamous Werribee, Australia sexual assault DVD intend to plead not guilty when they return to court in December. This ought to be good considering the suspects were caught on videotape, but it’s not like the court is going out of its way to actually punish these criminals.

    To make matters worse, attorneys for some of the suspects are planning on questioning the victim under cross-examination. normally I would say that tactic may work against them but again the courts aren’t bending over backwards to punish these teenage rapists.

    Thanks to Alan for the tip.

  • Werribee teens plead guilty

    Werribee DVD youths plead guilty, avoid jail:

    Seven of the teens from Werribee, Australia who filmed themselves sexually assaulting a mildly developmentally challenged girl have pleaded guilty. If you remember the suspects also sold the DVD, entitled C*nt: The Movie to their classmates over MySpace. Let me refresh your memory…

    The DVD was shot in June last year when the 17-year-old girl, who has mild developmental delay, was taken by the youths to the edge of the Werribee River.

    It includes footage of the sexual act, of men urinating on the girl and throwing a cup of urine on her. It also shows them setting her hair alight three times.

    They throw her top and jacket into the river and tell her: “You’re walking home topless.”

    You would think the judge would throw the book at them. Not so. Since they have pleaded guilty they will avoid any jail time and will be sent to an “adolescent sexual rehabilitation program”.

    Let’s hear from the judge…

    The judge said the youths’ guilty plea was a strong indication of their remorse.

    “The idea is that the defendants now have some rehabilitation and education in how not to treat women,” the judge said.

    Personally, I think the judge let them off way too easy. I think the only thing they’re remorseful about is that they got caught.

    However, I want to hear from my Aussie readers to see what they feel about the sentence. Is it enough?

    Thanks to Alan for the tip.

  • Werribee teens get additional charges

    More charges on sex DVD:

    The teens from Werribee, Australia who are facing charges for distributing a DVD of them sexually assaulting a girl have had additional charges filed against them.

    A children’s court heard yesterday the boys, two aged 16, six 17-year-olds and three aged 18 will face another charge each of procuring the victim to take part in sexual penetration by intimidation.

    Four of the accused boys have been charged with two counts of procuring sexual penetration by intimidation and making child pornography, and seven face the same three charges plus one count of assault.

    Up to 12 boys were investigated for allegedly coercing the Year 12 girl to have sex in the homemade DVD, titled C— the Movie, allegedly made between June 1 and June 30 last year.

    The ten minute film was copied and distributed to students at Werribee schools.

    The film showed the girl performing a sex act, being urinated on, and having her hair set alight.

    Sources told the Herald Sun in November at least one of the teens allegedly featured on the DVD continued a relationship with the victim for several months after the film was made.

    But will these charges bring a longer sentence if these thugs get any real sentence at all?

    Thanks to Alan for the link.

  • Werribee suspects may receive light sentences

    I got a tip from a reader Alan in Australia who says that two of the Werribee rape DVD suspects will be receiving light sentences. This is the e-mail he sent me verbatim.

    Something finally appears to be stirring from the Victoria Police.

    It appears only two of them will face charges of sexual assault.

    This is from a myspace page that has gone from private to public.

    ah not really, they just wanted me to describe the night and how i made
    the bomb n shit, and they asked if i feel guilty and if i understand wat i
    did was wrong lol

    yer man, made me do sum interview thing, and they showd dad the dvd. the
    f**khead hit the roof. Strted clipping me n shit infrnt of tht copper and
    was like giving them permission to take me prints n shit.

    Yer well they said i got sum caution of behaviour bond thing, so no
    biggie”

    A good behavior bond *shakes head*

    I’ll bring you confirmation as soon as I get it.

  • Werribee victim may have had relationship with suspect

    Werribee DVD tryst twist:

    THE girl at the centre of the Werribee DVD sex assault investigation was allegedly in a continuing relationship with one of the teens.

    Copies of the DVD, which showed sexual acts and the girl’s hair being set alight, were sold at schools.

    Sources have told the Herald Sun at least one of the teens caught on the DVD continued a relationship with the victim for several months after the degrading film was made.

    Police are investigating whether rape charges can be laid against any of the teens involved.

    The relationship may become vital in investigations as to whether consent for sex was given during the filming of the DVD, titled C— the Movie, and the charges police can lay.

    And so what if she was? Does that make the assault any less wrong?

    However, I do like this part…

    It is possible some of the youths captured in the crude DVD may be charged as adults.

    At least one of the youths questioned by police has turned 18 since the offences took place in June.

    Most of those in the video are believed to be aged 16 and 17.

    Under Victorian law a person can be tried as an adult if they have turned 18 since the offence.

    I wish they would try this in the U.S.

  • Another Werribee suspect?

    This comment on The Whole Story brings us the MySpace of this guy (goatse alert-NSFW) who left the following comments on another MySpace…

    So basically, he admits his participation in the “CTM” DVD but acts like he’s the victim. Prison couldn’t come fast enough for these assclowns.

  • Werribee victim speaks out

    Justin of The Whole Story, who first brought the Werribee story to my attention, has a great entry about the victim speaking out.

  • CTM still up for sale

    Werribee DVD assault offered for sale for $60:

    Some unscrupulous scumbag has decided to capitalize on the Werribee sex assault DVD…

    COPIES of the Werribee sex crimes DVD are being offered for sale at prices up to $60.

    The DVD – which shows teenagers engaging in sexual activity with a teenage girl before urinating on her and setting her hair on fire – was offered for sale at the weekend on the Melbourne Gumtree classifieds website.

    The vendor claims his daughter bought a copy of the video, dubbed C— The Movie, and has made copies which he is offering for sale.

    The DVD was first offered for sale on Saturday for $50, under the title Genuine C The Movie. The vendor asks would-be buyers to email their details if they want a copy.

    “I will be discreet and deliver even to PO Box if you like in plain wrapping and unlabelled DVD so nobody will know and we don’t get arrest (sic),” he writes.

    The DVD was re-advertised yesterday with the price jacked up to $60 in response to “increased demand”.

    The advertisement describes the DVD as a “Video of local sites and activities by local Melborne (sic) artists”.

    Let’s stop right there for a second. Artists? Since when is rape an art? Not to mention the fact that allegedly a parent of a student is selling this video.

    When the Herald Sun emailed the vendor anonymously yesterday, he said that when the DVD was sent the would-be buyer would get only a 10-minute preview.

    When payment arrived, he would give the buyer a password that gave them access to the entire movie.

    By 3pm (AEDT) yesterday the ad had been removed from the Melbourne Gumtree site.

    But the would-be salesman has also posted promotions on the personal websites belonging to some of the teenagers who feature in the DVD.

    “Movie now $60 only a few left email me … all profits to a good cos (sic),” he wrote.

    The DVD had been selling for just $5 at Werribee schools.

    But police last week said they were prepared to charge anyone who bought or downloaded the DVD with possession of child pornography.

    I hope the police find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law with extreme prejudice.
