Father of 12-year-old child bride on charges: he believes he has ‘done nothing wrong’

The 61-year-old, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, “is of the belief he has done nothing wrong,” Raymond Terrace Local Court was told.
The court also heard the man had a disregard for NSW laws and believed his daughter was “in love” with her 26-year-old “husband”.

MOSQUE SACKS IMAM WHO ‘MARRIED’ COUPLE
O’FARRELL WELCOMES ARREST OVER ‘MARRIAGE’
CHILD BRIDE, 12, WAS MARRIED IN HER FATHER’S HOUSE
Magistrate Caleb Franklin rejected the man’s bail application yesterday, citing a strong prosecution case and the likelihood of a jail term if he was convicted.
Police charged the father with procuring a child for unlawful sexual activity and being an accessory before the fact to someone having sexual intercourse with a child.
“The defendant has a disregard for the laws of this state,” Mr Franklin said in denying the man bail.
The man’s Legal Aid solicitor said her client, an osteoarthritis sufferer, would find time in custody “very difficult”.
The court heard the man had co-operated with detectives in interviews but disputed much of the police facts including the allegations he facilitated the marriage.
His solicitor said her client claimed his daughter was a “very, very mature strong-willed woman” and he thought the man was about 18-19.
“He said ‘they’re in love and it’s a strong love’ and at this point he’s trying to be supportive of his children,” she said.
Charge sheets tendered in court allege the girl’s father procured her for sexual activity with her future “husband” from when the couple met at a Hunter Valley mosque in November last year until they were allegedly married on January 12.
Outside court, it emerged the girl wrote on a blog site her father told her to wear a hijab to school when she was 11.
“When I was 11 my Dad made the decision I should wear hijab to school,” she wrote.
“To be honest I didn’t want to wear hijab to school. I was afraid of what all the other kids would say or think about me. But when I went to school the next day it wasn’t that bad.”
Charges against the girl’s father followed the alleged wedding of the man’s then 12-year-old daughter in their family living room to a 26-year-old Lebanese man last month.
The girl’s “husband” is in custody charged with 25 counts of having sexual intercourse with a child.
The imam who allegedly performed the ceremony, Riaz Tasawar, 35, was charged with solemnising a marriage without authority and will face court in April.

Afghani asylum seeker Mohammed Salem Nazari pleads guilty to two charges of indecent assault of seven teenage girls

The Daily Telegraph
February 13,2014
AN asylum seeker who “traumatised” seven teenage girls by indecently groping them in the Sydney Olympic Park pool had only been in Australia for six months, a court has heard.
Mohammed Salem Nazari pleaded guilty at Burwood Local Court yesterday to two charges of indecent assault on two 18-year-old girls and five offences of indecently assaulting a person under the age of 16 at the pool.
The 33-year-old, who doesn’t speak English, assaulted the girls — the youngest aged 14 — in the Rapid River Ride whirlpool within 25 minutes on December 8.
The asylum seeker had recently arrived in Australia from Afghanistan and was on a bridging visa.
His lawyer told Burwood Local Court last year that Nazari was “a poor or non-swimmer” and only came into contact with the girls due to the current in the pool.
After initially pleading not guilty to the charges during an unsuccessful bail application late last year, Nazari reversed that yesterday and admitted all of the accusations.
Nazari required a Dari interpreter during all of his court appearances.
Police documents tendered to the court alleged he grabbed all of the girls around their waist, touching their thighs, bottoms and breast.
The girls reported the groping to pool security and they watched his movements on CCTV footage until the police arrived.
Nazari, who had been living in a unit in Parramatta at the time, was arrested and taken to Auburn police station.
Court documents said Nazari had been “nonchalant” about the accusations and insisted all of the contact with the girls had been accidental.
The charges of indecent assault and indecently assaulting people under 16 carry maximum jail terms of five and 10 years respectively.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison’s office confirmed in December that Nazari’s visa had been cancelled and court papers said he was the “subject of an immigration hold”.
It came after a Coalition crackdown on asylum seekers and bridging visa holders in trouble with the law.
Under the previous government some asylum seekers remained in the community while facing charges with revocations considered on a case-by-case basis.
Nazari, who is from the Hazara ethnic group in Afghanistan, was the 31st asylum seeker facing criminal charges to have his bridging visa cancelled under the new rules.
He will be sentenced on March 3. It is expected he will be deported on the completion of his sentence.

Innocence stolen: pressure on to investigate the epidemic of child brides across NSW
Alicia Wood Political Reporter
The Daily Telegraph
February 12, 2014
HUNDREDS of under age teenagers are living in unregistered de facto marriages in NSW — and pressure is mounting for state and federal authorities to investigate illegal unions.
The statistics came as NSW Women’s Minister Pru Goward urged anyone with information on girls under the age of consent being married off to older men to report such incidents. In NSW, three children aged 14, 30 children aged 15, 152 aged 16 and 483 aged 17 identified themselves as living in a de facto marriage in the 2011 census.
MOSQUE DISMISSES IMAM WHO MARRIED OFF 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Adolescent psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg warned last night that de facto relationships involving teenage girls were detrimental to their psychological health.
“There’s an increased likelihood of these young people developing anxiety and mood disorders or depression,” he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these kids become potentially suicidal.”
In metropolitan Sydney, the local government areas with the highest number of unregistered teenage de facto marriages are Blacktown and Penrith, with 23 each, Campbelltown with 17, and Liverpool with 12.
In Blacktown, there were seven 16-year-olds and 16 children aged 17 who identified themselves as living in a de facto marriage.
In regional areas, the problem is more stark. In Wyong, Wollongong and Dubbo, six 15-year-olds in each local government area said they were in de facto marriages, and all three 14-year-olds who said they were de facto marriages live in Young.
The figures come to light amid intense public outrage at the arrest of a 26-year-old man over child sex allegations after his alleged marriage to a 12-year-old girl.
Eman Sharobeem from the Immigrant Women’s Health Service said hundreds of children as young as 11 were being sent overseas to be married after being “shopped” on Facebook. “It’s far more prevalent and well-known than people think,” she said.
Dr Sharobeem said not enough was being done to build awareness about under age marriage. “Regulation needs to be put in place within different religions,” she said. “If we are talking about Australian law, every marriage should be under Australian law,”
“There needs to be proper, culturally appropriate, education and awareness-raising. And we should make it as compulsory as we can.”
Ms Goward has written to federal counterpart Michaelia Cash to push for national awareness campaigns on underage and forced marriage.

“Every young girl in NSW should have the opportunity to make her own choices about her future, and under age marriage is completely unacceptable,” Ms Goward said.
“It doesn’t matter if the arrangement is religious or cultural, if the law in this state says it is illegal, parents and the community need to accept that and abide by it.
“We can only investigate a case if it is reported, so I encourage anyone aware of girls under the age of consent being married off to older men to report it to authorities so it can be investigated.”
Opposition community services spokeswoman Linda Burney said the government should investigate how widespread under age marriage is.“We seemingly don’t have a picture of how widespread this type of behaviour is,” she said. Ms Burney said
The legal marrying age in Australia is 18 unless a court approves a union where one party is aged between 16 and 18.
GIRL, 14, FORCED INTO ABUSIVE MARRIAGE Exclusive Padraic Murphy
A 14-YEAR-OLD girl was forced into an Islamic marriage with a western Sydney drug gang member who raped and beat her and later physically abused their daughter.
Details of the now 25-year old victim’s ordeal surfaced in the Federal Circuit Court where the victim was fighting to have the man banned from seeing their daughter.
So appalling was the woman's life of abuse, which included claims that her father told her she could only leave her marriage “in a coffin”, that Judge Joseph Harman made an unprecedented public appeal in his judgment for authorities to act.
“Upon publication of these reasons and should any agency wish to investigate matters ... they are in a position to make application to the court for leave to inspect the file and obtain material,” he said.
That would include the child dispute conference memo in which an admission is made by the father in the following terms: “The father admitted that he knew at the time of the Islamic marriage to the mother that she was 14 years of age.”
The memo noted the man said he was 18 at the time, but the victim claimed he was 21.
“The mother alleged that the father had sexually assaulted her after they were married, which the father denied,” said Judge Harman.
It was also alleged the man, who has a string of violence convictions, stopped the victim from attending high school or watching television, and wanted her to become a “soldier of Islam”, forcing her to watch snuff DVDs of people being brutally slaughtered.
When she complained to her parents about the rapes and violence, her father threatened to disown her. “So what if he raped you? So what if he bashed you?” the father said, according to court documents.
“The only way you can come back to me is in a coffin to pray on you.”
The girl also told a teacher at her high school about both her under age marriage and the abuse, but no action was taken.
It is believed no authority has asked to inspect the file since Judge Harman’s appeal, leading to fears both the victim’s family and her “husband” could escape punishment.

Schapelle Corby.... Bogan criminals are not heroes
Bogan criminals are not heroes
Andrew Bolt
Herald Sun
February 10,2014
HEAR that cheering — that soundtrack of our shame — as Schapelle Corby is released from a Bali jail? See media outlets wave as much as $3 million at the convicted drug smuggler for her story, to add to the $270,000 her family earned from her autobiography?
See Corby, the heroine of last night’s Channel 9 biopic, whose writer sighs she feels “very much for Schapelle” and “I carry that compassion before being worried about legal things”.
See Labor’s leader, Bill Shorten, shamelessly tell the mob “I don’t know all the ins and outs of what she has done” but he, too, wants “that woman back in Australia as soon as possible” because “that’s what matters to me”?
So I don’t blame Indonesia’s Justice Minister, Amir Syamsuddin, for that curl to his lip when he announced on Friday that he’d granted Corby early parole, not through “generosity” but “the laws of the land”.
You see, he said, “we are a dignified nation”. Unlike ... Australia?
I love this country, but then a Corby opens a jail cell and lets out a fetid blast of our convict culture — that deep, feral resentment of the mob of any check to its licence.
How that mob has trashed our reputation in the name of “our” Schapelle, the big-eyed formerbar hostess at the mercy of those brown foreigners.
Yet the case against Corby was damning from the moment 10 years ago that customs officials in Bali opened the bag carrying her boogie board and found 4.1kg of high-quality marijuana. (“No!” she’d gasped, reaching out to stop them.)
Already one of Corby’s half-brothers — among her mother’s six children by three men — had been convicted of drug possession and jailed for other crimes.
Later the half-brother travelling with her was also jailed over a drug-related home invasion, and last year fined for possessing cocaine. Even her father had a minor conviction for possessing marijuana.
No, a woman isn’t guilty just because her brothers are rotten. But Indonesia had arrested a representative of Australia’s bogan culture, and her tribe reacted in fury at their impertinence.
Newspapers attacked Indonesia’s courts as corrupt and their jails as temples of “gloating sadism” where there was “little sympathy for foreigners, for which you may perhaps read Christians”.
Radio hosts insisted then prime minister John Howard make Indonesia’s president fix the court decision, and one even raged the judges were “straight out of the trees”.
Indonesian diplomats here were sent death threats, white powder in the mail and two bullets with a warning: “Go home you animals”.
The Salvation Army, out collecting for its Red Shield Appeal, even had to promise not to send Indonesia any of the donations, while actor Russell Crowe warned Indonesia to remember we gave money for its tsunami victims, as if we’d only given so our drug smugglers could walk free.
Crowe also demanded Howard “deal with it”, asking: “What if it was your daughter?”
Speak for your own family, Russell. Howard’s, like mine, would never dream of smuggling a sack of weed. This isn’t “our” Schapelle.
If only this sanctification of the bogan criminal stopped with Corby. But we made a national hero of a thieving murderer called Kelly, and we’ve only got worse.
Killer Mark “Chopper” Read had leading journalists make him so famous with books of his alleged exploits that a movie was made of his life.
The natural moral order was inverted so completely that Read, a killer of four men, was used as a spokesman in TV commercials against domestic violence.
Then came the Underbelly books and television series that made cheap crooks and their molls household names, dusting even the dead ones with the bright dust of fast money and faster women that so impresses losers and fools.
The notoriety proved useful for underworld figure Mick Gatto, whose work includes persuading people in the construction industry to do what they’d much rather not, or else ... seen Underbelly?
And how often was this convicted criminal presented as a role model? A giver of charity?
Even the state-funded Melbourne University Press pitched in, idiotically commissioning Gatto to write his autobiography, and telling a restaurant full of men with black shirts and gold teeth how “proud and delighted” it was to launch these whitewashing memoirs.
How much has all this corrupted us? Is this why bikie gangs burst with recruits? Why police report a lack of respect for their authority?
And now Corby is coming out of her cell. What feral spirit is freed with her?

ABC TV in burns backdown: managing director Mark Scott admits no evidence Australian navy tortured asylum seekers
Tim Blair
The Daily Telegraph
February 5, 2014
THE ABC has backed down in the controversy over its reporting of claims that navy personnel tortured asylum seekers, apologising "if our reporting led anyone to mistakenly assume that the ABC supported the asylum seekers' claims".
A statement issued yesterday by ABC managing director Mark Scott and his news director Kate Torney admitted that video shown by the ABC of burned asylum seekers' hands did not establish how their hands had been injured.
MEDIA WATCH HOST: YES, I VOTED LIBERAL
MORRISON SAYS ABC SHOULD APOLOGISE
WHY DOES THE ABC HATE OUR NAVY?
ABBOTT BRANDS THE ABC UN-AUSTRALIAN
"The ABC's initial reports on the video said that the vision appeared to support the asylum seekers' claims," the statement reads. "That's because it was the first concrete evidence that the injuries had occurred. What the video did not do was establish how those injuries occurred."
The statement, published online by the ABC, indicated regret over how the asylum seekers' claims were presented.
"The wording around the ABC's initial reporting needed to be more precise on that point," it continued.
"We regret if our reporting led anyone to mistakenly assume that the ABC supported the asylum seekers' claims.
"The ABC has always presented the allegations as just that - claims worthy of further investigation."
The backdown follows criticism directed at the ABC from The Daily Telegraph, other media outlets, Immigration Minister Scott Morrison and Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
"A lot of people feel at the moment that the ABC instinctively takes everyone's side but Australia's," Mr Abbott said last week.
The ABC's own Media Watch program joined in the criticism on Monday night.
"The ABC overreached, by essentially endorsing the allegations of navy mistreatment on radio, TV and online throughout the day," Media Watch host Paul Barry said.
"Because even if the (Indonesian) police did back the asylum seekers' claims, there was no way of knowing they were true ... We believe the ABC should have been far more cautious, given the evidence it had, and given it was making such a big call against the navy."
On the same program, Barry caused a Twitter storm by admitting to voting Liberal in last year's federal election.
"Paul Barry broke my heart admitting he voted Liberal," sobbed one Twitter user.
"Paul Barry is god dang dead to me," wrote another.
Yet another shattered fan pleaded with the presenter: "You were joking when you said you voted Liberal, weren't you?"
Barry later confirmed he had voted Liberal.

Sydney's Embedded Enemy Combatants : Ahmed Elomar Sydney Muslim Insurgency Rioter needs Brain Scan.. but he is a Muslim WTF?
Hyde Park rioter Ahmed Elomar needs a brain check, court hears
Amy Dale
The Daily Telegraph
February 4, 2014
THE man at the centre of the Hyde Park riots won't be sentenced until a brain scan can be performed on him, a court heard yesterday.
Ahmed Elomar, a former champion boxer, pleaded guilty to attacking a police officer with a pole during the September 2012 riots that were sparked by the controversial YouTube clip The Innocence of Muslims.
He is still waiting to be sentenced as his defence team, led by Greg James QC, have applied to have the case put off until a MRI scan can be done to reveal the extent of his brain injuries.
Mr James told the District Court he has been waiting for more than a year for the procedure, and that on the eve he was due to have it done he was moved between jails and not provided with the security to take him to the hospital.
"The day before a scheduled appointment (we were told) he had been moved to Parklea (prison) and for security reasons they weren't prepared to provide the escorts," Mr James said. "There's nothing to suggest he won't be moved (locations) again."
The court has been told the 30-year-old has an IQ between 58 and 60, (That's pretty high for a Muslim so I guess he is probably a Scientist, Doctor,Imam or 747 Captain ?) and suffered numerous head injuries during his boxing career.
The charge of recklessly wounding a police officer can carry a maximum sentence of 14 years but Elomar, the last of the rioters before the courts, will receive a discount for pleading guilty before trial.
The attack left Senior Constable Jason Blanchard bleeding from the head and Elomar's makeshift weapon bent out of shape.
Elomar has been the only one of the group to be held in custody since the riot despite numerous bids for bail. In one, made to the Supreme Court last year, his lawyers said he was suffering from early-onset dementia as a result of boxing injuries and this made him "susceptible to outside influence" but the prosecution blasted Elomar's claims he believed the protest would be "peaceful", arguing he had armed himself with the 2m pole and a full-face balaclava, which he was later seen wearing on television footage.
All of the other men charged after the riot have all been dealt with by the courts, with two jailed.
Mr James told the court his client has needed the MRI for months, and was prepared to privately cover the cost of the procedure, but had been knocked back on at least one occasion by Corrective Services. The scan will take one day, and is expected to be used by Elomar's counsel in preparing submissions for what sentence he should receive.
The court was also told during a hearing last year that Elomar suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after an incident in which he was kidnapped in Lebanon, but prosecutors said the evidence before the court did not support the claim.
Judge Donna Woodburne formally vacated the date for his sentencing hearing, with the case to be rescheduled once the scan is done.

He is still waiting to be sentenced as his defence team, led by Greg James QC, have applied to have the case put off until a MRI scan can be done to reveal the extent of his brain injuries.
Mr James told the District Court he has been waiting for more than a year for the procedure, and that on the eve he was due to have it done he was moved between jails and not provided with the security to take him to the hospital.
"The day before a scheduled appointment (we were told) he had been moved to Parklea (prison) and for security reasons they weren't prepared to provide the escorts," Mr James said. "There's nothing to suggest he won't be moved (locations) again."
The court has been told the 30-year-old has an IQ between 58 and 60, (That's pretty high for a Muslim so I guess he is probably a Scientist, Doctor,Imam or 747 Captain ?) and suffered numerous head injuries during his boxing career.
The charge of recklessly wounding a police officer can carry a maximum sentence of 14 years but Elomar, the last of the rioters before the courts, will receive a discount for pleading guilty before trial.
The attack left Senior Constable Jason Blanchard bleeding from the head and Elomar's makeshift weapon bent out of shape.
Elomar has been the only one of the group to be held in custody since the riot despite numerous bids for bail. In one, made to the Supreme Court last year, his lawyers said he was suffering from early-onset dementia as a result of boxing injuries and this made him "susceptible to outside influence" but the prosecution blasted Elomar's claims he believed the protest would be "peaceful", arguing he had armed himself with the 2m pole and a full-face balaclava, which he was later seen wearing on television footage.
All of the other men charged after the riot have all been dealt with by the courts, with two jailed.
Mr James told the court his client has needed the MRI for months, and was prepared to privately cover the cost of the procedure, but had been knocked back on at least one occasion by Corrective Services. The scan will take one day, and is expected to be used by Elomar's counsel in preparing submissions for what sentence he should receive.
The court was also told during a hearing last year that Elomar suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after an incident in which he was kidnapped in Lebanon, but prosecutors said the evidence before the court did not support the claim.
Judge Donna Woodburne formally vacated the date for his sentencing hearing, with the case to be rescheduled once the scan is done.

Blake Ferguson gets bond for sex assault after magistrate finds appropriate case for conviction

FORMER Canberra Raider and NSW Blue, Blake Ferguson, has been sentenced to a good behaviour bond for two years following an indecent assault charge.
Ferguson was smiling with boxing champion Anthony Mundine and his father, Tony, who were also in court after the sentence, which he is now appealing.
Ferguson was out partying with State of Origin teammate, Josh Dugan, when he squeezed a 24-year-old woman's vagina while she was sitting near a wall of the 2230 bar about 10.30pm on June 16.
The woman, who cannot be named, had previously told the court "he laughed at me" when she yelled at him. CCTV shows the woman pushing Ferguson after the incident.
During the sentencing hearing, Ferguson's lawyer highlighted his client's loss of income as an NRL footballer, his present unemployed status, the ridicule he has received on social media and his troubled childhood filled with domestic violence as an argument for leniency.
Previously, Ferguson had told Magistrate Jacqueline Trad that the incident was a case of mistaken identity after he mistook the woman as some had been kissing at another bar earlier in the night. This defence was found to have no evidence to back it by Magistrate Jacqueline Trad.
This morning, Magistrate Trad said, "It is my view that it is an appropriate case where a conviction should be recorded.
She highlighted the "the problematic use of alcohol" as the main reason for placing Ferguson on a good behaviour bond.

TROUBLED footy star Blake Ferguson is back on the grog again less than two months after converting to Islam.
He spent much of last weekend at the renowned footballer's haunt, the Clovelly Hotel, openly drinking beer and wine in front of other patrons.
While there were no complaints or issues with his behaviour, his decision to drink alcohol is in contradiction to the Islam faith where booze is banned.
Friends say he has been struggling to cope after being found guilty last month of an indecent assault on a 24-year-old woman.
He faces sentencing on February 3 and a maximum two years in jail.
The problem is the boxer has his own career to concentrate on and simply can't keep an eye on Ferguson 24/7.
Sources say he is losing patience with the former Origin centre, for whom he has been caring since his sacking from the Canberra Raiders.
"He's thought about it and it's a commitment he wants to make," Mundine recently said of Ferguson converting to Islam.
"He's just looking forward to changing his direction in life.
"At the moment he's in good space - no drinking, no drugs,
no parties."
We checked in with Mundine last week to see if he was still supporting Ferguson.
"He's family - of course I am," Mundine said. "You've got to stick by your brothers."
At the time of his conversion, Ferguson told The Sunday Telegraph he was determined to abide by the Muslim 'rules'.
"Alcohol is completely forbidden in Islam," he said, "and that's been my problem for the last five years. It's brought me down to where I am now. I enjoyed a drink but it just creates problems. I've had enough. I really have."
Brother and mentor Anthony Mundine is aware of this latest drinking episode.
