"Sexual penetration of a child under 16, related to the abuse of a 14-year-old at his then-home in Coburg in Melbourne's north, in 2005."
Will avoid jail!!!
Disgusting.
Our courts are a joke and it has reached a point where there is no option but for relatives to take matters into their own hands if crimes go unpunished.
My life would be over if that sort of thing happened to one of mine and i knew i could get to him.
Unbelievable. Appalling message in every respect. This must be appealed.

x 2. Just the thought of that happening to any child, let alone one of my children, makes my boil and feel utter uncontrollable rage. Utter filthy sub human garbage.
Jumping the gun a bit.
Joffa hasn’t been sentenced yet but the beak did indicate that a suspended sentence was on the cards.
I suspect that pressure might be brought to bear, particularly after the victim’s harrowing story.
On a related note, an old Koori friend of mine, known as Crazy Cat, was a regular guest of Her Majesty in his younger days. He told me that, on one occasion, he was summoned to the governor’s office and told that a certain prisoner would be in the exercise yard at a particular time, no prison officers would be around and the gate would be unlocked. Of course Crazy Cat knew that the prisoner was a rock spider and arranged a beating.
I suspect that Joffa would get similar treatment if he did get a custodial sentence.
Time served might be a factor. Who knows what's happened to him whilst proceedings are underway

Joffa has been on bail so no time served.

in that case throw him in a hole somewhere.
12 months suspended sentence.
In 2019, he was appointed as coach of the Altona Juniors U/16s. In hindsight, bad appointment. He lost the players/parents and was given the flick before the season finished.
12 months suspended sentence.
I’m not sure that pleading guilty (after delaying proceedings), doing good works, and being in poor health can cancel out the pain and suffering of the victim and his family.
Joffa should be behind bars, even if it’s only for a couple of months.

For a couple of months!!!! Are you serious.
Would you think the same if he abused one of your young family member to be given a ‘few months’ as punishment? Surely not.
The poor child nearly certainly will have a life time of issues because of this rock spider. Sorry mate but a couple of months doesn’t cut it.
They locked up the melb supporter for 6 months for flying into Perth to watch a footy game a few years ago and then decide to let off piece of sh1te abusing an innocent child.
The world is seriously warped.
I remain flabbergasted, and best not say any more.
A breathtaking verdict. Apparently significantly influenced by character references from a number of prominent citizens.
Was featured on current affair tonight on CH9, the lenient sentence will probably be appealed.
Just an appalling decision really and the poor victims life has been ruined.
@Cookie ...Hard to fathom how character references from prominent persons override the victims lifelong suffering.
Unfortunately, this is a problem that is getting bigger, not smaller and justice for victims as in Joffa's case will be harder to achieve.
Human trafficking is top 3 international crimes, with drugs and weapons. What is happening globally is much worse than sick and depraved.
Last night on Foreign Correspondent was a story on sex trafficking in the Philippines. It is on iview (abc). I haven't posted the link because it is very confronting and distressing - but you can look it up. Australia doesn't come out of it well.

Yep, I watched that story and it was sickening stuff and the theme was supply and demand. Parents selling their kids for sexual abuse for small change to feed the family and the demand bit was sadly countries like Australia where sick humans like to watch to watch this stuff with their equally disgusting mates, kids aged as little as three involved. Grubs like this need more than jail time.....
Can we put castration as a punishment for paedophilia over the age of 21?
If we aren't going to lock them up, then take their gonads, penis and for good measure cut their fingers off.
Then they can be released back into society.
