This article is truly staggering:

This quote speaks directly about a case we have mentioned here in websleuths:
Bayley was not considered a suspect by police following complaints by two women in mid-2012 of being sexually assaulted in the St Kilda area despite police issuing a face-fit image with characteristics similar to Bayley.
A Dutch backpacker, who was raped on July 15 last year, told the media of being driven into a laneway and attacked.
Ms Meagher was raped and killed in a Brunswick laneway
two months later on September 22.
There was even speculation right here on websleuths regarding the Meagher case and whether Bayley had used the someone is after you, Ill give you a lift to safety ruse- as he had used on the Dutch backpacker. We now know that was not the case.
1) Another case we speculated about here was the bike-path flasher who was wearing the purple hoodie. He looked suspiciously like bayley and lived in a nearby area. I wonder where that case went
2) also, the 'nunchakas' weirdo in that case with the girl walking late at night with her friends, where the assailant boasted he would choke her with his black gloves. This case is truly worrying because it sounded alarmingly like bayley.
Another quote:
The 41-year-old has been charged with further counts of rape from 2012 and another from 2000, which he is contesting.
We arent told much about those other two rapes, other than the Dutch backpacker story.
Another quote:
Following a major internal review, police have even investigated an information report linking Bayley with the Claremont killings, having lived in Perth, but he was eliminated as a suspect.
In the very early days of the Meagher case, the Claremont killings were expressly mentioned on this forum as possibly having been committed by Bayley. As it states, he lived in Perth at the time. Although his involvement has been discounted apparently, I wouldnt be too sure. The police seem to screw things up. If there is any doubt of that, just read one last quote from the article, which attests to this:
At least five sex workers who identified Bayley as their attacker refused to go to court to testify against him the following year (2002)
because they did not trust police.
Now, i am not sure what is going on here, though i recall that he was charged with raping 5 sex workers. So, if 5 rejected going ahead with charges, does that mean he potentially raped 10? And he was not on a database of registered sex offenders and had no DNA on file. That's despicable!!!!!
To say I am flabbergasted regarding the contents of that article is an understatement. I am absolutely appalled at how the judicial, legal, policing systems fail our citizens. Its just unforgivable.
