Serial rapist Robert Fardon is less likely to commit serious offences if released from jail under supervision, his lawyer claims INFAMOUS serial rapist Robert Fardon is now much older, settled and less likely to commit serious offences if released from jail under strict supervision, a court has been told. Lawyers for the 64-year-old convicted sex predator, the first man detained under Queensland's tough dangerous prisoner sexual offenders laws, on Tuesday told the Brisbane Supreme Court it was time Fardon be freed. Barrister Dan O'Gorman, for Fardon, said his client had given a firm undertaking, even an oath in court, to comply with any strict conditions enforced by the court to secure release from prison, including wearing a GPS monitoring device. He said that despite Fardon's previous breaches of supervision orders - including absconding to Townsville and entering a licensed premises - the rapist did not pose any real threat to community if released. " (It is) acknowledged (Fardon) is an unacceptable risk (or danger to the community) without a supervision order," Mr O'Gorman said. (But,) adequate protection of the community can be met with an appropriate supervision order. Fardon is seeking yet another Supreme Court judge to grant him release after previous breaches and two decisions to keep him looked up after successful appeals by Queensland's Attorney-General. He won his latest opportunity to seek supervised release to live in the community after Queensland's highest court in March ruled he should be given yet another chance to adduce new evidence to support his application. Fardon, then aged 54, garnered national media attention in June 2003 when he was kept in prison having already served all of a 14-year sentence for a brutal sexual assault on a woman in 1988. Two leading consulting psychiatrists have testified Fardon's prospects of coping adequately if released back into the community, even under supervision, were not promising Dr Donald Grant said: "Mr Fardon has great difficulty obeying (any) supervision order." The chances of (Fardon) breaking an order are really quite high. Dr Michael Beech testified Fardon was a "moderate to high risk" of reoffending if released from jail without supervision. Barrister Jonathan Horton, for Queensland A-G Jarrod Bleijie, on Tuesday told the court there was sufficient recent evidence to support the order Fardon to remain to be locked up indefinitely. Mr Horton pointed to the recent serious outburst with a female prison case manager as proof Fardon was likely to defy authority, and thereby requirements of a supervision order, if released. " (We) would prefer detention (of Fardon) over supervision (in the community)," he said.
