Urge Australian Authorities to Prevent the Release of Serial Rapist Garry Knarkle

The issue

The safety of our community is at stake with the potential release of a man who has been convicted for raping 14 women over three decades. This man's crimes have caused immeasurable harm and trauma, and his release could potentially put more individuals at risk.

Statistics from the Australian Institute of Criminology show that recidivism rates among sex offenders are alarmingly high, with around 17% reoffending within two years (Australian Institute of Criminology, 2020). Given this data, it is clear that releasing such an individual back into society poses significant risks.

We must prioritize the safety and well-being of our community members over any arguments for this offender's rehabilitation or reintegration. We urge the relevant authorities to reconsider their decision and keep this convicted rapist behind bars where he cannot harm others.

Please sign this petition to make your voice heard against his possible release. Let us stand together in ensuring our community remains safe from such dangerous individuals.
