He has been charged with two more rapes http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/bob-har...ith-two-more-rape-charges/20130304-2fgsr.html
It is the third unsolved rape case Mr Bayley has been accused of since the alleged rape and murder of Jill Meagher.
The Herald Sun understands the charge relating to the alleged attack on July 15 involves a 27-year-old Dutch backpacker, 27, who claims she was sexually assaulted in a lane off Westbury St, Balaclava, after which a photo was released by Victoria Police.
The woman, who spoke to the media in August, was walking home along Carlisle St between 2.30am and 3.30am from St Kilda pub the Elephant & Wheelbarrow when a man allegedly approached and told her she was being followed by a black car and persuaded her to get in his car.
She claims the man, who drove a red car, took her about 500m before pulling into a dark laneway off Westbury St and locked the doors.
Yes I agree well done Vic police!
Gosh, I can't help feeling there is a hell of a lot of rape victims that have a similar mo.
I knew it. That photofit was just uncanny. I believe he used this MO a lot, but with the Jill case I think she knew better and he couldn't coerce her, got angry and committed murder. Also, the comments released to the media citing the attacker as 'pathetic' and 'dumb' did not help one bit. Not smart.
One of the worst serial offenders in the history of victoria, there would be many more he may never be charged with.
Couldn't agree more. The police photo sketch was IDENTICAL, the backpacker victim did a great job describing AB to the police sketch artist. One of Australia's worst serial rapists and incredibly brazen in his attacks. I am a little bit shocked he wasn't caught prior to Jill. This is a horrendous crime that could have been prevented. I will never got over what happened to Jill, I was numb for a month after she disappeared & was eventually found. Just sickening
The police deserve condemnation for not catching this criminal earlier. The sketched image of him looks identical to how he looks. Why didnt they search their database of registered sex offenders to see who matched the description and then go and question him and monitor him- for months. That would have stopped most of this. The sad fact is that police are under-resourced like all government services, but the rich keep on building their yachts, and women keep on getting raped and murdered, and politicians keep on making meaningless promises for more funding.
IMO Victoria Police served their community and apprehended this criminal expediently. We should thank the Victoria Police. Responsibility and fault for the parole of this criminal lies with the Parole Board of Victoria. By writing to them you add your voice, along with other voices, calling for changes to the Victorian Parole Board decision making for repeat and dangerous offenders at risk of re-offending in the community.I think the police have done an amazing job on this case. They do not want him getting out after what he has done. They can only do so much, it's the courts and parole board who let Jill down. I'm so proud of the police in Victoria for this. They are constantly let down by judges and their weak sentences.
Totally agree Curiousasacat. These "men" need to be found and off the streets ASAP. :furious:This is another appalling story. It makes me so sad and angry. At least this poor girl is alive,although at times probably wishing she wasn't. We need to find out why these so called men are doing this. The fact this "pack" of males could justify doing this to someone really,really disturbs me.
