Alexander Wright, a 61-year-old man who offered to help a mother by babysitting her children, was sentenced to 20 years in prison with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years after being found guilty of 38 charges of sexual offenses against three girls, all under the age of 12.

The crimes, which included eight counts of rape, occurred over several years in his family home, often while his wife was present but unaware.
In the Whangarei High Court Justice Michael Robinson highlighted the bravery of the victims, noting the severe impact the abuse has had on their lives, and slammed Wright’s lack of remorse and denial of the allegations, which diminished his chances for rehabilitation.
During the trial it was revealed that Wright’s predatory behaviour extended to multiple victims, with one victim expressing her shattered childhood in court.
Despite the trauma, the victims’ courage in coming forward was acknowledged by the court, emphasising the importance of the justice system’s response to such heinous acts.

“often while his wife was present but unaware…”
Not buying that. Not for a second. They always know, they just look the other way.
“often while his wife was present but unaware”. Yeah, right.
Like ‘Bad Santa’ wife..
How awful and inhuman. Many creatures like this who are sexually aggressive to the extreme, rise to the top of the corporate world as they have no scruples whatsoever and regard earthlings as fair game. They may or may not have a human body but psychopaths like this who lay in wait for innocents are pure evil in all directions. One wonders whether this is a real name or an alias taken from a tombstone as is often the case. The deceptions of narcissistic psychopaths/sociopaths can be alarmingly realistic as they will study their prey and mirror their vulnerabilities and passions, often causing the circumstances they purport to alleviate. After reading the story of Giselle Pelicot’s and her daughter’s extreme abuse one has to wonder what motivates these monsters, other than tv, Disney, Hollywood and related media. R18 is a joke, there are so, so many holes in the net, and no such thing as ‘privacy’
