Freed Australian Paedophile Under Heavy Police Security, Policemen Fear Mob Violence

In an ironical turn of events Dennis Ferguson, the Australian paedophile acquitted under some controversial circumstances recently, is under heavy police security. And those guarding him fear mob violence.

District judge Botting had set him free saying the 60-year-old convicted sex offender would not get a fair trial in Queensland on new child sex charges in view of the frenzy his case had evoked.

Ferguson is now being cared for by a church group on a property southeast of Brisbane at a cost to taxpayers of $1000 a day and supervised by police around the clock.

About 1000 people at a public forum in Carbrook, south of Brisbane, Sunday night protested Ferguson’s presence in their midst. 

Queensland Police Minister Judy Spence and Acting Police Commissioner Kathy Rynders were shouted down by the crowd at the meeting.

A police prosecutor, senior constable Heather Steinberg, received a standing ovation after she said her job was at risk but she had to protest against convicted pedophile Dennis Ferguson’s presence for the sake of her two daughters aged two and four.

``Why is the commissioner making me protect him and not my children,’’ she wanted to know.

Another woman said she was able to see the house where Ferguson was living.

``Our freedom has gone. You have imprisoned us in our own home. My children are frightened,’’ she said.

Howls of derision met Spence’s attempts to explain that Ferguson was technically a free man.

``Whether you like it or not Dennis Ferguson has been allowed to be a free man by the courts,’’ she said, but not many would seem to buy it.
