[1] HIS HONOUR: Today is the full-time release date with respect to a period of
imprisonment imposed on the respondent, Brett Joseph Falls, who is also known by
the surname Duncanson, for the commission of a serious sexual offence. As such,
Mr Falls would ordinarily expect to be released from custody later today, but the
Honourable Attorney-General for the State of Queensland has made application for
an order pursuant to s 13(5)(a) of the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act
2003 (Qld) which, if made, will have the effect of keeping Mr Falls in custody for
an indefinite term for care, treatment or control.
[2] In the alternative, an order is sought by the Attorney-General to allow for Mr Falls’
release from custody on supervision pursuant to s 13(5)(b) of the Act, subject to
such conditions as the court considers appropriate. To that end the court was
furnished with a draft supervision order containing a number of proposed
conditions.
[3] Although the Attorney-General maintained her application for a continuing
detention order, it was conceded by her counsel in written submissions filed in
support of the application that the evidence supports the release of Mr Falls on a
supervision order, and that concession was maintained at the hearing. It was
otherwise submitted that a supervision order, if made, should be for a period of
10 years.
-- 2 of 18 --
3
[4] For Mr Falls, it was accepted that he would be a serious danger to the community
in the absence of a Division 3 order and that, as such, he is a person to whom the
Act applies. It was submitted in writing on behalf of Mr Falls, that the evidence
before the court supports Mr Falls’ release on supervision and that the period of the
order should be between five and 10 years, although it was frankly conceded by Mr
Reid, who appeared for Mr Falls at the hearing, that there was nothing in the
material to persuade the court that a period of less than 10 years would be
appropriate. Mr Falls also accepted that each of the conditions set out in the draft
supervision order would be necessary for the adequate protection of the community
in the circumstances of this case.
[5] Despite the concessions which have been made by the parties it is, of course, still
necessary for the court to reach its own view about whether Mr Falls represents a
serious danger to the community in the absence of an order providing for his
continuing detention or supervision, and if so, whether adequate protection of the
community can be reasonably and practically managed by a supervision order, as
opposed to an order providing for his continuing detention. However, the
concessions that have been made make my task somewhat easier than it would
otherwise have been. Nonetheless, in case it may be assumed otherwise, I have
undertaken a careful review of the evidence read in support of the application. In
that regard Mr Falls was examined for the purposes of this application by three
forensic psychiatrists, Dr Harden, Dr Sundin and Dr Aboud, and a written report
from each psychiatrist is in evidence.
[6] In Attorney-General v Mitchell [2015] QSC 121, I set out some observations about
the scheme of provisions under the Act. There I observed that a prisoner will be a
serious danger to the community if there is an unacceptable risk that the prisoner
will commit a serious sexual offence if released from custody or if released without
a supervision order being made. A serious sexual offence is, of course, defined in
the Act to include an offence of a sexual nature against a child. On the hearing of
an application such as this, the court may decide that a prisoner poses a serious
danger to the community only if it is satisfied, by acceptable cogent evidence and
-- 3 of 18 --
4
to a high degree of probability, that the evidence is of sufficient weight to justify
such a conclusion. The paramount consideration in deciding whether to make a
continuing detention order or a supervision order is the need to ensure adequate
protection of the community. In addition, the court must consider whether adequate
protection of the community can be reasonably and practically managed by a
supervision order and whether the requirements for such orders as specified in s 16
of the Act can be reasonably and practically managed by corrective services
officers. Lastly, s 13(4) of the Act sets out a number of considerations that the court
must have regard to when deciding whether a prisoner is a serious danger to the
community. Subsection 13(5) then goes on to provide that, if the court is satisfied
that a prisoner is indeed a serious danger to the community in the absence of a
Division 3 order, the court may order that the prisoner be detained indefinitely for
control, care or treatment pursuant to a continuing detention order or released
pursuant to a supervision order, subject though, to such conditions as the court
considers appropriate.
[7] Mr Falls is 49 years of age, having been born in Tasmania in 1965. He has an
entrenched history of sexual offending against prepubertal girls. Mr Falls was
raised in a fractured family environment and one which, by his own account, was
corrupted by the sexual abuse of his sister. After several episodes of criminal
offending and running away from home, Mr Falls was eventually made a ward of
the State and sent to a home for boys. Thereafter he attended special schools
because of learning difficulties and does not appear to have been enrolled in any
secondary schooling. Whilst incarcerated, he has attempted courses in literacy and
managed to obtain certification for some types of semi-skilled work. Outside of
prison, Mr Falls has worked in furniture removal and landscape gardening and,
more recently, in a supermarket.
[8] The period of imprisonment that comes to an end today was imposed in the District
Court at Brisbane on 24 September 2014 after Mr Falls pleaded guilty to one count
of grooming a child under the age of 16 years with intent to procure engagement in
a sexual act and one summary charge of failing to comply with a reporting
obligation in relation to earlier sexual offending. For these offences, he was
-- 4 of 18 --
5
sentenced to separate terms of imprisonment of two years and two months
respectively. Further, it was ordered that those periods of imprisonment be served
cumulatively. A declaration of pre-sentence custody totalling 215 days was also
made.
[9] The circumstances of this offending may be briefly stated. The complainant was
13 years of age and resided with her mother and sister. Mr Falls made contact with
her on Facebook. Mr Falls did not know her. The complainant told Mr Falls that
she was 15 years of age. Mr Falls was able to obtain the complainant’s telephone
number from her Facebook profile and, after exchanging several Facebook
messages over a couple of days, Mr Falls telephoned her. This occurred on 5
February 2014. Mr Falls introduced himself as “Pete” and, during the conversation,
told her that she had a nice body, that “her boobs were nice” and that she “should
wear skirts all the time as she looked nice in them”.
[10] With that, the complainant became concerned, terminated the telephone call and
told her sister. Some time later that evening, Mr Falls telephoned the complainant
again. He told her that he did not mean to scare her, that he would not try to “get
with her” unless she wanted him to do so, that he was 30 years of age and that he
wanted to be friends with her. The complainant again terminated the telephone call
and switched her telephone off. Undeterred, Mr Falls tried to contact the
complainant by sending text messages as well as a Facebook message that conveyed
an elaborate story in an attempt to conceal his true intentions. The police became
involved and the next day a pretext call was conducted which elicited yet another
text message from Mr Falls to the complainant. He was subsequently arrested.
[11] So far as the summary charge was concerned, Mr Falls was found in possession of
four mobile phones, one of which he had failed to disclose to the authorities, in
contravention of his reporting obligations under the Child Protection (Offender
Reporting) Act 2004 (Qld).
[12] Mr Falls’ criminal history of sexual and other offences spans four Australian states
and reaches back as far as 1978. He has numerous previous convictions for offences
-- 5 of 18 --
6
of a sexual nature as well as convictions for theft, fraud, burglary, break and enter
and trespass. He has also been dealt with for breaches of parole and community
based orders.
[13] Mr Falls was first convicted of a sexual offence in 1980. That was a conviction for
indecent assault. At that time Mr Falls was only aged 15. He approached a 13 year
old girl and enticed her to go with him so that he could show her some kind of
animal. He touched her on the genitals. She screamed and he ran away. In
interviews with Dr Harden, Mr Falls said that this was his general modus operandi
for much of the sexual offending that occurred in the following years.
[14] In 1981 Mr Falls was convicted of abduction or detention for sexual penetration,
unlawful assault and assault with intention to sexually penetrate a child under the
age of 10 years. He was sentenced to 52 weeks’ probation. In 1982 he was
convicted of indecent assault. The victim was approximately 11 years of age. In
1984 he was convicted in Tasmania of four counts of indecent assault as well as
other offences and sentenced to a total of 14 months’ imprisonment. There was
another conviction for indecent assault in 1987 and then, in 1996, Mr Falls was
convicted in Queensland of three counts of indecent dealing with a child under 12
years and sentenced to imprisonment for five years. In that regard he told Dr Harden
that he had been taking anti-libidinal medication but had stopped taking it
approximately 12 months prior to that offending. The circumstances of that
offending should be mentioned. Mr Falls met a child in an area near a beach who
was 10 or 11 years of age at the time. He touched her in the genital area on three
occasions in different settings, until a member of the general public saw him and
called the police who attended and arrested him.
[15] In 2003 there was another conviction of assault in relation to touching a female
child during the course of a break and enter that he committed. He maintained to
Dr Harden, however, that he had no sexual motivation in the commission of that
offence. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. In 2007 he was convicted
of indecent treatment of a child under 12 years and was sentenced to 15 months’
imprisonment, suspended for five years after serving five months. The
circumstances of that offending were, based on what Mr Falls has told Dr Harden,
-- 6 of 18 --
7
that he was in a house with some friends, having a few drinks with them. He left
the room and went into the bedroom of their eight year old daughter. He touched
her in the genital area while she was in bed and she then reported to her parents
what he had done.
[16] In 2009, whilst still subject to the suspended sentence to which I have made
reference, Mr Falls was convicted of entering a dwelling at night and indecent
treatment of a child under 12 years. Dr Harden noted that Mr Falls originally
described the victim as being a 12 year old girl, but when this was queried, he
agreed that she was in fact four years of age. The occupants of the house were not
known to Mr Falls. He broke through a window, saw a child in bed, removed her
pyjama bottoms and touched her genital area and, when the child’s parent came into
the room, he jumped out of the window to escape. He received a sentence of
four years’ imprisonment which was imposed cumulatively on 10 months that he
was required to serve for breach of the suspended sentence.
[17] The material before me is such that it is difficult to conclude whether alcohol or,
indeed, illicit drugs, have played much, if any, part in Mr Falls’ past offending. I
suspect, however, that alcohol has played some part at different times with some of
the offending. I mention this because one of the conditions to be imposed today
requires Mr Falls to moderate his intake of alcohol. The reason that condition is to
be imposed is to guard against the risk that alcohol has in fact been a factor in at
least some of his offending in the past.
[18] The material, perhaps not surprisingly, is revealing of the difficulties Mr Falls has
encountered in the past in forming relationships. He does, however, have a current
partner who is supportive of him. Dr Harden, in particular, has expressed the
opinion that every effort should be made to support this relationship as it would be
a significant risk reduction measure. Dr Aboud also recognised this relationship as
a protective factor. Mr Falls was also anxious that, if released on a supervision
order, he be permitted to reside with his partner who, I should record, is willing for
that to occur.
-- 7 of 18 --
8
[19] However, his partner’s home has been assessed by the department and deemed to
be unsuitable, given its proximity to schools. The consequence is that, on his
release on supervision, an order that I will shortly make, he will be required to reside
in the Precinct. There are accommodation difficulties at the Precinct which are
detailed in the affidavit material before me. Hopefully they can be overcome by
those responsible for providing accommodation for respondents such as Mr Falls,
but it is obviously important that Mr Falls is allowed to reside with his partner as
soon as possible. Those charged with his care and treatment when on supervision
should, in my respectful view, keep this objective at the forefront of their minds.
[20] That is not to say that the accommodation suggested by Mr Falls, that is, with his
partner, is suitable. To the contrary, that accommodation has been assessed as quite
unsuitable. It follows that if Mr Falls is to resume his relationship with his partner,
at least in the same premises, alternative accommodation will need to be sourced
by them if that is at all possible, and then that accommodation assessed by the
department as to its suitability.
[21] In support of the application, Ms Philipson, who appears for the Attorney-General,
provided a comprehensive outline of argument. Commencing at paragraph 29,
Ms Philipson outlined the major clinical findings, opinions and recommendations
expressed by Dr Harden. From paragraph 48, Ms Philipson undertook the same
exercise with respect to the clinical findings, opinions and recommendations of Dr
Sundin. Lastly, from paragraph 68 Ms Philipson deals with the clinical findings,
opinions and recommendations of Dr Aboud.
[22] I am grateful for that summary of the reports provided by each of the three
psychiatrists. In brief, however, it is a concerning feature of this case that Mr Falls
has already been given the benefit of, and participated in, a wide range of sexual
offender treatment programs, including the HISOP less than two years prior to the
commission of the index offences and an SOMP just three months before the
commission of those offences. It is also concerning that, at the time of those
offences, he was reported to be in stable accommodation and employment, in a
relationship with his partner and under the care of a psychologist.
-- 8 of 18 --
9
[23] The reason this combination of facts is concerning is that the courses to which I
have referred, Mr Falls’ living and employment circumstances and his treatment
from the psychologist should have worked as protective factors against the
commission of further offences. Plainly, they did not and, equally plainly, there is
a long way to go in the treatment of Mr Falls’ conditions. It is principally for that
reason that I was not satisfied that the period of the supervision order should be as
short as five years. It will be some time before a court can confidently state that the
progression of Mr Falls’ treatment is sufficiently advanced to permit his release
without the existence of the conditions I am about to impose.
[24] Mr Falls has been diagnosed with paedophilia as well as a personality disorder with
antisocial and avoidant features. It is also important to record, as should be apparent
from what I have said about his childhood, that he has borderline intellectual
functioning. Dr Harden was of the opinion that Mr Falls’ “ongoing unmodified risk
of sexual re-offence in the community [was] in the high range”, with the greatest
risk factors being “his paraphilic interest in prepubertal girls, his emotional
identification with children, his poor problem-solving skills and his previous
supervision difficulties with breach of community based orders and parole, usually
by reoffending”. Dr Sundin considered that Mr Falls represented “an unacceptable
risk to the community without the benefit of a high intensity supervision order”. Dr
Aboud gave the opinion that Mr Falls’ overall current risk in respect of sexual
reoffence against children is high, given “the chronicity of his sexual offending, his
sexual deviance, his various breaches, his avoidant and antisocial personality
structure, and his broad cognitive and social vulnerabilities”.
[25] Based on those opinions and my review of the material, I am satisfied to the high
standard required by the Act that Mr Falls is a serious danger to the community in
the absence of an order under Division 3 of the Act. To the point, I am satisfied
that there is unacceptable risk that Mr Falls will commit a serious sexual offence,
that is, an offence against a child, if released from custody without a supervision
order being made.
-- 9 of 18 --
10
[26] Being so satisfied, the question then is whether under s 13(5) of the Act there should
be a continuing detention order or a supervision order. The need to ensure adequate
protection of the community as required by s 13(6)(a) of the Act was explained by
the Court of Appeal in the Attorney-General v Francis [2006] QCA 324, as follows:
The Act does not contemplate that arrangements to prevent such a risk
must be "watertight"; otherwise orders under s 13(5)(b) would never be
made. The question is whether the protection of the community is
adequately ensured. If supervision of the prisoner is apt to ensure adequate
protection, having regard to the risk to the community posed by the
prisoner, then an order for supervised release should, in principle, be
preferred to a continuing detention order on the basis that the intrusions of
the Act upon the liberty of the subject are exceptional, and the liberty of
the subject should be constrained to no greater extent than is warranted by
the statute which authorised such constraint.1
[27] I respectfully adopt and follow those observations. Of course, I must also be
satisfied that the requirements under s 16 can be reasonably and practically
managed by corrective services officers.
[28] Returning then to the opinions offered by the psychiatrists. Dr Harden was of the
opinion that Mr Falls’ risk of sexual recidivism would be reduced to moderate on a
supervision order. Dr Sundin considered that a supervision order had the capacity
to reduce Mr Falls’ risk to moderate. Dr Aboud gave the opinion that Mr Falls’ risk
would be reduced to below moderate in the context of a supervision order,
prescription of an anti-libidinal medication and an antidepressant in a relatively
high dose.
[29] I note that there is the debate amongst those doctors as to whether anti-libidinal
medication ought be prescribed. In addition to Doctors Harden, Sundin and Aboud,
the material reveals that Dr Rosenthal, an experienced practitioner in this area, has
also expressed opinions regarding the desirability of anti-libidinal medication. The
short point is that there are some health risks in the nature of cardiac problems
associated with the use of that medication in a man of Mr Falls’ age, or at least a
suspicion that there may be a real connection between the taking of that medication
and the development of those sorts of problems. However, the material before me
1 At [39].
-- 10 of 18 --
11
establishes that on Mr Falls’ release on supervision, he will be immediately placed
under the care of a psychiatrist, Dr Arthur. The view I take is that it is a matter for
Dr Arthur to determine the best course of treatment for Mr Falls including what, if
any, medication should be prescribed. To that end, a copy of the reports of Doctors
Harden, Sundin and Aboud, as well as a copy of this decision should be provided
to Dr Arthur. I add that, should Dr Arthur cease being Mr Falls’ treating
psychiatrist, a copy of the same material should be provided to whomever is
appointed to treat Mr Falls in that capacity in the future. I hope that, by the
provision of that material, as well as this decision, Dr Arthur and those who may
follow him will be assisted in the treatment of Mr Falls.
[30] Bearing in mind that the paramount consideration is the need to ensure adequate
protection of the community, I have had regard to the considerations specified in
section 13(4) of the Act and the opinions expressed by each of the psychiatrists.
Having done so, I am satisfied that a supervision order in the terms of the draft
supervision order as amended by me will adequately address the risk posed by Mr
Falls and that the adequate protection of the community can be reasonably and
practicably managed by such an order. For the reasons I have already expressed,
the order shall be for a duration of 10 years. I will, therefore, make a supervision
order incorporating the conditions appearing in the draft supervision order, as
amended by me, for a period of 10 years. I shall also direct that a copy of the
psychiatric reports as well as a copy of this decision be provided to the person who
is, from time to time, Mr Falls’ treating psychiatrist.
