Molester free while dad who bashed him could be jailed

QUEENSLAND father who bashed a man caught molesting his 10-year-old son is facing a prison sentence, while the boy's attacker walks free.

In a highly unusual case, Shane Thomas Davidson was spared jail despite pleading guilty to molesting the boy on State Of Origin night last year.

Judge Ian Dearden told Beenleigh District Court the sentence was reduced because the young victim's father had wrongly taken action into his own hands and badly beaten Davidson.

"There is no place in our community for a vigilante approach," he said.

Davidson was sentenced on Monday to a nine-month intensive corrections order.

The boy's father is awaiting trial on one count of grievous bodily harm, which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

Child safety campaigner Hetty Johnston yesterday slammed the sentence for Davidson.

"In this case, they've got it woefully wrong," she said. "What the offender did was totally unnatural."

In handing down his sentence on Monday, Justice Dearden said adult offenders who committed sex offences against children must serve actual jail time – unless exceptional circumstances were found to exist.

"This is one of those rare and exceptional cases," he said. "When an individual takes the matter of punishment into their own hands, the offence committed by the person may be far, far more serious and, therefore, have far more serious consequences then the original offence."

The court was told Davidson was at the child's house at Eagleby in June last year to watch the State of Origin match with the boy's father and a few other people.

After the game, Davidson went into the boy's bedroom and began massaging the child's penis under his clothes.

When the boy woke up, Davidson asked the boy to show him his penis and offered to do the same.

The child refused and went to tell his father what happened.

The man then attacked Davidson, dragging him outside, throwing him on to a concrete path where he struck his head and repeatedly kicking him.

Davidson later underwent extensive facial surgery in the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

Yesterday Davidson told The Courier-Mail he regretted what he had done but didn't think it was something he should go to jail for.

"As far as these sorts of offences go, it's pretty minor," he said.

QUESTION: Does the queen wipe her own? Do you think she wipes her own bottom, or is it a job for the servants?

ANSWER: No Drewey, The Queen does not. She has a person called First Lady of the Royal Bedchamber - this is a very old position and was originally called the First Lady of the Royal Chamber Pot - it was Queen Victoria who dropped the Pot from the esteemed title - resulting in the well know Victorian Prudishness that she is famed for. The Present FLORB is Lady Cynthia Farquar - Harson and she has been in the role since 1939 when the Queen was Princess Elizabeth. The Role not only attends to the Monarch's normal daily 'functions' but also emptoes the Royal Chamber Pot in the morning.

He was thrust into the public eye again in November 2003 when George Smith, a valet working on Charles' staff, alleged that Fawcett had raped him some years earlier, and also that he had once happened upon Fawcett and the Prince sharing a bed one morning when delivering the Prince's breakfast.[4] Fawcett's innocence was widely protested by the whole of the British establishment, including most newspapers and royal commentators. However, Fawcett's unsuccessful libel action against The Guardian and The Mail on Sunday, and the speed and extent with which total censorship was placed upon any further coverage of the affair, has given rise to conspiracy theories regarding the veracity of Smith's allegations. Furthermore, Smith died on August 24, 2005, to extreme lack of reaction from the British press, considering his possible significance.

Although forced to resign from the official staff in light of the accusations in Sir Michael Peat's report, Fawcett returned to the Prince's staff in a freelance capacity.
