Out in 8 months for concealing rape and torture of a woman for 23 days
Why this petition matters

"My house smells like a morgue, I can't stay here." 2017
Out in just 8 months time, did nothing whilst his flat mate tortured and raped a young woman in his home for 23 days. Judge Clare said by July 1, 2017, knew the victim had an injury that "at least put her at risk of permanent damage or disfigurement" and had "smelt her rotting flesh". "It was so bad that you had to leave the house, so you knew that evening that her condition was dire," she said. In fact at one stage he helped conceal and hide the woman in another property whilst the real estate agents came to inspect the property. Whilst the offender Nicholas John Crilley was jailed for life earlier this year received just three years. Crilley was viciously assaulting the woman, pouring acetone and boiling water over her body at unit. “You not only helped Crilley avoid police, but enabled him to keep the woman from the expert medical care she needed until Crilley summoned paramedics,” Judge Clare said.
sat in the next room whilst Crilley repeatedly filled a kettle with boiling water and threw it on the victim and poured acetone on her legs, raped her, smashed her eye socket, stabbed her head with a screw driver and broke her ribs and nose. When ambulance officers found the woman in the unit, they initially thought she was dead until she started groaning and her face had become infested with maggots. allowed all of this to happen, at any stage could have at least made an anonymous call to the police.received just three years and will be released mid 2021. This is an outrage and we are calling for an appeal for longer sentence. What kind of message does this sentencing send? This case is at the crux of our domestic violence problem in Australia ; it bolsters the very institution of 'toxic mateship' that enables men turn a blind eye to something they should be speaking out about. Enough is enough, give the sentence he deserves.
