Perth man, 29, sentenced for 665 offenses over 11 months involving 286 victims from 20 countries
A 29-year-old Australian man, who pretended to be a teen YouTube celebrity to prey on children and young adults online, has been sentenced to 17 years in jail.
The Perth man, identified as Muhammad Zain Ul Abideen Rasheed, coerced 286 victims, including 180 children, from 20 different countries into performing sexually explicit acts on camera or video, the Australian federal police said.
…only 17 years??? This man committed two sexual felonies a day for a year straight and he only gets 17 years?
Reading the article and reaching the part about the extortion is just so heartbreakingly familiar for anyone who remembers the Amanda Todd case here in Canada.
There is no punishment strong enough for people like this.
he was sentenced to 13 years in prison on October 14, 2022. On December 21, 2023, a Dutch judge reduced his sentence to six years
Again, like the convicted child rapist that was sent to the Olympics after a slap on the wrist. Is the dutch justice system downplaying child abuse?
Different systems, the length doesn’t tell the whole story.
André Klip, a professor of criminal law, criminal procedure and the transnational aspects of criminal law at Maastricht University, said he wasn’t surprised by Thursday’s outcome and that Coban would likely spend more time in prison in the Netherlands than if he served his time in Canada.
“Dutch law is very predictable in terms of when a person can be released after being sentenced,” he said. “It’s very likely that … he would have been out far more early [in Canada].” -CBC

should just be executed
Nope.
Death penalty is for shitheap countries. Do not want that on our shores.
disagree. People who commit crimes on such a scale should not be fed&housed on public money. kill them and be done with it.
But the justice system is not infallible, how many innocent people do you accept to be send to death row in order for people like this to be put to death.
Counter question: Who wouldn’t benefit?
Keeping someone locked up for decades doesn’t solve a problem. It hides it. Some things can not be corrected and we need to come to terms with it.
If someone is causing such a massive problem, there ought to be a solution which isn’t letting people in the future deal with it after he is out of prison.
