The man known as the Bulli rapist has walked free from prison after 22 years.

Terry John Williamson, 42, walked out of Silverwater jail at 11am (AEDT) on Thursday.

Williamson, wearing a white polo shirt, jeans, sneakers and a brown cap, said nothing to waiting media as he got into a pale blue car.

There didn't appear to be anyone at the prison to meet him.

As a young man, Williamson terrorised the community of Bulli, on the NSW south coast, for 10 months in 1989 and 1990, using a police radio scanner to avoid detection.

He was convicted of 19 charges relating to the sexual assault of 10 females between the ages of five and 43, and an 11-year-old boy.

Because unfortunately, we don't have the death penalty here.
I'm suprised that the other inmates didn't kill the maggot.

In strong agreement with you Baron von Steuben. The man should have been done away with.

Don't you just know what this POS has been fantasizing about for 22 years?

What a terrifying thought.

He should've been put down 22 years ago.

He may not, one woman that gets raped, he'll be blamed whether he did it or not, when he comes off of parole. His life is what is known in the US as 'not worth a plug nickel".

Orly,
In Australia, if a person doesn't want to be found, they won't be.

Different hair cut, color the hair, many ways to change appearances. He's very likely to committ similar crimes, the same crimes, or even worse crimes.

Lisa,
I can't see what your link has to do with a rapist/paedophile.
Please explain.

It points to nutritional deficiency as a cause of violence and aggression. since rape is an act of violence i thought it might contribute to the discussion.

Several years ago I took a very interesting course in criminality and nutritional deficiencies. It was determined that some of the most violent serial murders who were studied had simple mineral deficiencies and that the desire to kill was not the driving force but, the desire to obtain the minerals that are stored in the organs of their victims that many serial killers eat.

Lisafrequency, I've read something on this once. Don't truly know how accurate the report is, but there are many problems related to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Very interesting . . .

Some of the best fed (nutritionally) are rapists, murderers & rock spiders.

Therefore in my view, it's just a copout excuse.

It's right up there with "god made me do it".

    Hi Abby, actually the article was pretty neat. The writer was far from claiming that a lack of vitamins and/or minerals was the cause. The writer only stated that several of the worst criminals behind bars that were tested had low and/or unbalanced vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies. Which only indicated a correlation. One might say, sort of like vampires seeking their victims.

    Far from being an excuss, with the author adding that there has not been enough research. I thought the article was interesting due to us knowing that a lack of vitamins and/or minerals can quickly create health problems, and over time larger problems. Many of our organs are effected by poor intake, or unbalanced meals. Malnutrition results from a poor diet. Are our brains also effected? Our brains are major organs.

    On the otherhand almost everyone on this planet are unblanced nutritionally. If everyone one of us viners (including me) would intake the proper amount of vitamins and minerals, maybe are aggresiveness would decrease a little, maybe we wouldn't argue as much, and then the vine wouldn't nearly as much fun. :(

    I have to hope the system works. The moment I start to decide who deserves to live and die, I fear where that takes me. I fear where that takes us all.

    And while I understand the need to separate those that harm society, am I really too much of a dreamer to think we can fix people? Am I really too soft? I am only about 32 years old. To imagine how different I am now from 22 years ago makes me truly wonder how this person could even be the same person they put away.

    I doubt that the prison system turned him into a pleasant person though. Our prisons have a way of maintaining the immoral code in the individual. But what I read in these comments is not about the inevitable failure of our correction system, but an insistence that an evil man is labeled an evil man and never more.

    I don't want him to hurt anyone. But is there no hope of change?
