extended supervision order granted HIGH RISK OFFENDERS
Quick Take
1Under s 5B(d) of the Crimes (High Risk Offenders) Act 2006 (NSW), an offender may pose an unacceptable risk of committing a serious offence even where the likelihood is not more probable than not, if the gravity of the potential consequences is very grave.
2Advancing age is not necessarily a protective factor against sexual reoffending where an offender's history demonstrates persistent serious sexual offending continuing into later years, and actuarial and structured professional judgment tools consistently place the offender in above-average or high risk categories.
3ESO conditions must be the least intrusive consistent with the assessed risk; where broader movement-control conditions provide sufficient scope for a designated supervising officer to manage risk, more specific venue-based restrictions may be unnecessary and need not be imposed.
