Disgusting... could be out in 4 years.
I am speechless. This is horrible.
A (Sydney) man who brought a torture kit to a hotel room to brutally attack a sex worker with a hammer will spend the next seven years behind bars. Donaldson brought a hammer, knife and ball gag to the room, cut off the women's underwear and got into an argument about the moralities of people selling their bodies for sex before launching into a "crazy frenzy" and attacking her with the hammer.

I was going to post this here. It's sickening how he could get such a lenient sentence. What was the justification from the judge, it costs too much to jail him longer??
FFS, sometimes the justice system can be so fucked up!
This is why we can’t have nice things. Now everyone’s gonna think all punters are crazies.
He has mental health issues. Apparently that is taken into account when sentencing people nowadays?
I wonder how much "mental issues" he could have when he had the capacity to book a 5-star hotel room, an escort, pack a bag of torture porn shit, and flee the scene after the deed?
The justice system, not just in Australia, places too much power into the hands of judges, I reckon. The whole system works diligently on everything during a case, everything is done by the book, only for the final judgement to be handed down by a single person based on arbitrary criteria.
If only there was a mechanism that could make a judge pause for thought and tell him "your Honour, before you hand down that sentence, have a look at how it would look like in the headlines. Are you sure you want to do this?". Maybe then they'll realise how stupid it looks like on paper.
There is no “just punishment” in a lot of these cases. Perhaps he heard controlling voices…
Apparently he had a micro penis. I sometimes wonder what my mental condition would be if I also had that issue. I think my size is below average, one ML told me it’s average lol. Gotta count my blessing. Already dealing with anxiety/depression etc, can’t imagine going thru stuff with that condition. Can’t excuse this monster for taking it out on another person though. Sentence was too light, should’ve been 10+ years
They should broadcast on the pa system in the jail what this guy did
This guy needs a death sentence or send him to Ukraine.
Don't waste tax payers money on this looser.
Just read the article - an appalling crime - the reality is that you don't know anyone as well as what you think - and many people don't know themselves as well as they think.
How do you ever release a person like this back into the community? You can only imagine the level of retribution in jail.
bringing a knife and a hammer, that's enough to ruin someone's life permanently. it's insane. This guy will come out and ruin another person's life
The poor girl is in critical condition as you can read in that story.
I am wondering if this had to do anything with his religious beliefs? In one paragraph the story refers to this lunatic giving a lecture on selling body for sex is wrong. just curious to know if he started a bit of preaching with bible in his hands too? A girl told me they used to have frequent visitors from a local church coming to the shop everyweek talking to WLs on how the church can help them to find a job and stop doing sex work.
The lady has a lifetime of brain damage
It's a legal system not a justice system
I doubt he has any remorse
This world is really full of fucked-up, shit people, I swear. What a piece of shit!
I presume it was the WL who hired the room
How the fuck is that not attempted murder? 7 years? Get the fuck out of here.
I get mental health but it seems to easy once you commit any crime to plead temp insanity and a history of mental health and get a free pass ... absolute bs in this country!
What an absolute cunt.
Sick fuck piece of shit.
