Serial rapist to be released despite 'high risk' to WA community
Adrian Pindan raped three women and a five-year-old girl over 18 years of offending in northern WA, but is now set for release in December.
A West Australian man, Adrian Pindan, who has spent the majority of his adult life in prison for committing serious sexual offences, is set to be released in December. Pindan raped three women and a five-year-old girl in the Kimberley towns of Fitzroy Crossing, Derby, and Broome between 1988 and 2007. Despite being labeled a high-risk sexual offender, Justice Bruno Fiannaca of the Supreme Court of Western Australia agreed to Pindan's release under strict supervision conditions.
These conditions include electronic monitoring, a curfew, avoiding contact with female community members, and abstaining from alcohol consumption. The release is intended to be supervised for a period of seven years, with a high-risk serious offender order in place to manage any potential risks to the community.
