This application
[1] This is an application by the Attorney-General for a Division 3 order under the Dangerous
Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003 (Qld) (the Act). The applicant seeks orders
pursuant to s 13 of the Act for either a continuing detention order or an order that the
respondent be released from custody subject to a supervision order.
[2] Counsel for the respondent argues that given the respondent’s age and lack of criminal
history prior to these offences, he should not be subject to supervision under the
dangerous prisoner regime.
Background
[3] The respondent is currently 56 years of age. On 16 January 2008, he was sentenced, after
pleading guilty, to eight years’ imprisonment for sexual and violent offences committed
against a single victim on a number of dates. In September 2010, he was released from
custody on parole but he breached his parole four years later in October 2014. His parole
was suspended and he was returned to custody. His current custodial end date is 17
January 2016. He has no history of sexual offending prior to the offences for which he is
presently in prison.
[4] The offences for which he is in custody relate to maintaining an unlawful relationship
with a child, rape and assault occasioning bodily harm. The offences were committed
against his step-daughter who was aged between seven and eight at the time of the
offending and occurred over an 18 month period. He was married to the victim’s mother
at the time. The sexual acts involved the respondent ejaculating into the victim’s mouth,
which usually occurred when the victim’s mother was absent or asleep. On some
occasions, the victim was punched and kicked by the respondent prior to being sexually
assaulted. He would often speak to her in a profane manner whilst inserting his penis into
her mouth.
[5] The rape offence occurred when she was seven years old. The respondent became angry
and then punched and kicked the victim, held her upside down, put his penis in her mouth
and smacked her.
-- 2 of 12 --

[6] The offence of assault occasioning bodily harm occurred when the victim was eight years
old. The respondent punched her to the mouth with a closed fist causing her to fall down
the stairs.
[7] The victim’s relationship with the respondent was characterised by him having a high
level of control over her physically and verbally. The oral penetration would occur at
least weekly. The offending was discovered when she made disclosures to the
Department of Child Safety in November 2005. When he was initially interviewed, the
respondent denied all the allegations but ultimately pleaded guilty.
[8] The respondent is a reportable offender under the Child Protection (Offender Reporting)
Act 2004 (Qld), as he has a conviction for a sexual offence against a child. He was
required to report to police for five years commencing on 6 September 2010. On 8
October 2014, police attended his residence to conduct compliance checks and discovered
that a 15 year old female had been residing with him for approximately three months. He
was arrested on 9 October 2014. He pleaded guilty and a conviction was recorded. He
was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment with a parole eligibility date set at 8
December 2014. His parole order, however, was suspended as this was a breach of a
condition of the order and he was returned to custody.
[9] The respondent has been married three times and has a history of anger management
issues. He has two sons with his third wife who is the victim’s mother. The respondent
was involved in a workplace injury in 1999 which caused a serious laceration to his throat
and other injuries to his head and neck. He was hospitalised and suffered post-traumatic
stress disorder.
[10] The respondent’s conduct in prison was good and he was noted to be a hard worker. He
has completed various educational and vocational studies whilst in prison. He also
participated in treatment programs, including the Sexual Offending Program completed
on 30 April 2009, the Getting Started: Preparatory Program completed in December 2009
and the Medium Intensity Sexual Offending Program (MISOP).
Reports of psychiatrists
[11] The respondent has been examined by three psychiatrists pursuant to the Act.
Dr Josephine Sundin’s report is dated 10 June 2015, Professor Barry Nurcombe’s report
is dated 7 November 2015 and Dr Joan Lawrence’s report is dated 10 November 2015.
Report of Dr Josephine Sundin
[12] Dr Sundin considered that the respondent met the criteria for a DSM-V diagnosis of a
paedophilic disorder of a non-exclusive type and was sexually attracted to females limited
to incest. Dr Sundin considered that the respondent acted out sexual urges and maintained
a sexual relationship with a child which he maintained despite her evident distress. Whilst
he has a rigid over controlling personality type with an avoidant coping pattern, Dr Sundin
did not consider that he met the criteria for a personality disorder. She also considered
that, despite a past history of post-traumatic stress disorder, the symptoms have been in
abeyance for some time.
-- 3 of 12 --
4
[13] In terms of the risk assessment instruments, Dr Sundin considered that on the Static-99R
the respondent scored 0 with the only positive score being his conviction for the index
non-sexual violence and therefore he was considered to be at a low risk for future sexual
recidivism. On the SVR20, he had indications of sexual deviation, relationship problems,
past non-sexual violent offences, supervision failure, minimisation and denial of offences
and negative attitudes towards intervention. Dr Sundin considered that although he was
in a low to moderate offender group in terms of future recidivism, the assessment of his
risk had increased due to his parole breach, his negative attitudes towards intervention
and his regression into a position of minimisation and denial of offences. On the Hare
Psychopathy Rating Scale, Dr Sundin did not consider that he met the criteria for
psychopathy.
[14] Dr Sundin gave evidence that the respondent appears to have regressed from the gains he
made in the MISOP program, has reverted to his previous position of anger and has a
perception of himself as an unhappy and unlucky victim. Dr Sundin also expressed
concerns in relation to the varying accounts he gave in relation to the presence of the 15
year old girl in the house. Dr Sundin was concerned that the respondent had dropped out
of the Sexual Offenders Maintenance Program (SOMP) and was disparaging in his
assessment of it.
[15] Dr Sundin considered, however, that the respondent presented with a number of atypical
features in that he was middle aged when he committed his first offence. He was then
released on parole and breached parole after four years in the community. He did not
commit another sexual offence whilst on parole. Dr Sundin also gave evidence that as
the respondent was currently 56 years of age “He’s rapidly approaching a time when his
risk drops off even more dramatically”1 and accordingly, she had “a great degree of
hesitation about recommending a supervision order in this man, given various unique
qualities of the case”.2
[16] Dr Sundin considered that the respondent could be managed in the community under a
supervision order and stated that he should be referred to a clinical psychologist to work
through his persistent cognitive distortions, habits of blame attribution, denial of
responsibility and low self-confidence. Counselling and the completion of the SOMP
should also be part of the recommendations.
Report of Professor Barry Nurcombe
[17] Professor Nurcombe made a diagnosis of paraphilia, namely paedophilia non-exclusive
involving under aged females. He noted that the respondent had left school at the age of
15 and had a consistent work history but he had three marriages which had failed because
of his long absences due to his occupation as a truck driver and his service in the Army
Reserve. Professor Nurcombe noted that he was currently in good physical health, but
referred to the serious injury at the age of 30 that resulted in multiple injuries and post-
traumatic stress disorder which has currently abated. Professor Nurcombe noted the pleas
of guilty to the charges, but noted that he denied there was more than one offence despite
pleading guilty to a number of offences.

2 T1-36 ll 21-23.
-- 4 of 12 --
5
[18] Professor Nurcombe also administered a number of actuarial instruments to determine
the respondent’s risk of sexual and/or violent reoffending. On the psychopathy checklist,
his score of 10/40 was well below the cut-off for a diagnosis of a psychopathic personality
disorder. However, he noted the lack of remorse and his failure to take responsibility for
his own actions. On that Static-2002R, he had a score of 1/13 which places him in the
low risk category for sexual recidivism with regard to risks of future recidivism. On the
STABLE 2007, it was assessed that he had few significant social influences in the
community and has made poor choices of women in his life.
[19] Professor Nurcombe also referred to the respondent’s three divorces and a fourth failed
relationship. He considered that he tends to be a loner and demonstrates a lack of concern
for others. In his view, a moderate level of treatment is needed. On the VASOR, the
respondent achieved a score of 18/125 which means that he is at a low risk of sexual
recidivism. On the SVR20, Professor Nurcombe noted risks, namely relationship
problems and extreme minimisation and denial of sexual offending. He also had sexual
deviation and negative attitudes towards intervention. He considered, however, those
results are consistent with a low risk of sexual recidivism.
[20] Professor Nurcombe also noted that the history of sexual violence had not been chronic,
diverse or escalating but that a degree of physical and psychological coercion must have
been involved. Professor Nurcombe considered that if the victim’s account is correct, the
respondent is minimising, denying and rationalising the sexual violence and noted that he
did not have a psychopathic personality disorder or any major mental illness. Neither
does he have any problems with substance abuse or violence with suicidal ideation.
Whilst he has difficulties sustaining social relationships, he is a good worker and there is
no history of non-sexual criminality.
[21] Professor Nurcombe considered that if the respondent were to reoffend, it would be
against a pre-pubertal or early pubertal female in the context of a family relationship. He
does not consider that he is a predatory offender and is not likely to seek victims in parks
or other areas where children congregate. He did not consider that he was likely to
become involved in non-sexual criminality.
[22] Professor Nurcombe also referred to the respondent’s disparaging comments about the
SOMP, as he considered that he had learnt nothing from it and dropped out. It would
seem that he considered that the SOMP was “too superficial”.3
[23] Professor Nurcombe was uncertain whether the respondent needed to be managed under
a supervision order. He stated:
“---Like Dr Sundin, I was really hesitant about whether this man presented a
sufficiently high degree of risk to warrant his coming under the DPSOA. The
reason I eventually thought that he should was because of his dense denial of what
happened and the denial appeared to get more intense as time went on. I believe I
understand the reason for that. I even think he’s not lying, but this is a man who
has a view of himself as a man and being a paedophile does not fit with that view.
His attempts to exclude things that are dissonant with his view of himself.
3 T1-40 l 33.
-- 5 of 12 --
6
But you diagnose him with a paraphilia of paedophilia?---Technically, it must be
so. Yes.
So he denies a feature of himself which is central to his risks?---Yes.”4
[24] Overall, Professor Nurcombe considered that the risk of sexual reoffending is low.
However, if there was another sexual offence committed, he considered that it would give
rise to serious psychological trauma. Professor Nurcombe’s main concern about the
index offence was that it showed the possible victimisation of the child as well as the
respondent’s denial and minimisation of his offending.
[25] Ultimately, Professor Nurcombe considered that if he was to be placed on a supervision
order, the risk of reoffending would be minimal. He recommended a term of not more
than five years and that consideration should be given to the early removal of a tracking
device. He also considered that psychological intervention during the duration of the
order would be important and that it would not be necessary for him to do the SOMP or
the MISOP if he had individual psychotherapy from a psychologist. Professor Nurcombe
also stated that it would be beneficial for that psychologist to read the reports of himself
and Dr Sundin and Dr Lawrence. On balance, he considered that he should be prohibited
from drinking alcohol given his previous offence of driving under the influence.
Report of Dr Joan Lawrence
[26] Dr Lawrence also noted that there was no evidence of psychopathy in terms of the PCL-
R scale. She noted also that the respondent has not maintained the gains or insight
displayed on the completion of the MISOP course and that he continued to display
negative attitudes towards therapeutic intervention. Dr Lawrence considered that he
lacked insight as to his vulnerabilities for future reoffending.
[27] In terms of the VRAG assessment, the respondent was placed in Category 3, which means
that the risk of reoffending is not high. In terms of the SORAG, he achieved a score of
-6 which translates to a Category 2 indicating that he is in a group of offenders where the
risk of reoffending sexually within seven years and 10 years is not considered to be high.
On the Static-99, he achieved a score of 1, which assesses him in the low risk category.
On the SVR20, whilst he was having relationship problems, had past supervision failures
and displayed extreme minimisation or denial of his sexual offences, he was assessed as
having a low risk for sexual violence.
[28] Dr Lawrence noted that he was convicted on his own plea of oral rape and maintaining a
relationship with his step-daughter over a period of 12 to 18 months. She further noted
that the respondent denied the extent of the charges, claimed that it was one incident and
that it was an accident. Dr Lawrence stated that when the respondent was released on
parole, he breached parole conditions when a random audit was carried out and was
returned to custody. The respondent denies any aberrations and she noted that there is no
other sexual offence in his criminal history.
4 T1-41 ll 12-23.
-- 6 of 12 --

[29] Dr Lawrence also noted that he failed to comply with the requirement to attend a SOMP
whilst on parole. This was done with the knowledge and approval of his parole officer
apparently, as he prioritised his employment over a need to attend the program.
Dr Lawrence considered that the respondent is still minimising and denying his offending
behaviour and failed to take responsibility for it. She noted that he continues to have
problems with intimacy and uses work as a barrier to avoid more intimate contact with
people. She also noted his contemptuous attitude towards the MISOP program.
[30] Significantly, Dr Lawrence noted that whilst the respondent’s sexual offences have been
few in number, they were serious in respect of the trauma that they caused the victim.
However, she considered that the absence of other sexual offending and the absence of
positive proof of other sexual deviation would support a view that the risk of reoffending
is low. She acknowledged, however, that without changing his intimate relationship
approach and his psychological defence of avoidance, the risk of reoffending to some
future vulnerable child must be seen as a distinct possibility.
[31] Dr Lawrence considered that the respondent needed to complete a refresher course on
Sexual Offender Therapy prior to release and that he should be required to attend a
psychiatrist or a psychologist on an individual basis. She considered that attendance at a
SOMP would be insufficient and that due to his psychological defences, an individual
therapist skilled in the management of sexual offenders may well be more productive in
achieving change. She noted that it was important for him to maintain employment and
that given his age, a supervision order for five years would be appropriate.
Should a Division 3 order be made?
[32] Counsel for the respondent submits that there is insufficient evidence to satisfy the court
to a high degree of probability by acceptable and cogent evidence that the respondent is
a serious danger to the community in the absence of a Division 3 order. It is argued that
the real consideration in this case is whether there is evidence indicating that the
respondent has a propensity to commit serious sexual offences in the future when all of
the reports indicate that the respondent’s risk is low or in the low to moderate range. The
risk is that he would abuse a pubertal or pre-pubertal female in the context of a family
relationship.
[33] It is clear that the objects of the Act are to provide for the continued detention in custody
or supervised release of a particular class of prisoner to ensure adequate protection of the
community and to provide continuing control, care or treatment of a particular class of
prisoner to facilitate their rehabilitation.5
[34] The Act establishes a scheme for continued detention in custody or supervised release for
those prisoners who are deemed to be at risk of committing serious sexual offences if
released at all or if released without a supervision order.
[35] Having considered the requirements of the Act, it is clear that the first question is whether
or not the court is satisfied that the respondent is a serious danger to the community in
5 Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003 (Qld), s 3.
-- 7 of 12 --
8
the absence of a Division 3 order. The respondent would be considered to be a serious
danger to the community if there is an unacceptable risk that he would commit a serious
sexual offence if released without such an order. Concerningly, since the respondent’s
release in September 2010, he has failed to complete the SOMP and he has minimised
and rationalised his offending behaviour. The psychiatrists also considered that there has
been an escalation in the emotionally avoidant pattern of behaviour. All of the
psychiatrists expressed concerns about the fact that his risk assessment has now increased
due to his parole breach, his negative attitudes towards intervention and his regression
into a position of minimisation and denial of offences.
[36] I consider that the respondent requires further treatment and management in the
community in order to manage the risk that he presents given the deterioration since he
was initially released on parole in September 2010. It would seem clear that all the
progress he made whilst in custody has been negatived to a large extent by his current
attitudes and behaviour. Having considered the material, I am satisfied that the
respondent is a serious danger to the community in the absence of a Division 3 order.
Whilst the psychiatric assessments indicate that the risk the respondent presents upon his
release is low or low to moderate, the real concern is that should there be any further
sexual offences, the consequences to a victim would include severe psychological
damage.
[37] I am satisfied therefore that there is sufficient and cogent evidence to a high degree of
probability that if the respondent is released from custody without a Division 3 order
under the Act, there is an unacceptable risk that he will commit a serious sexual offence.
[38] In determining whether to make a continuing detention order or a supervision order, the
paramount consideration is the need to ensure the adequate protection of the community.
The onus of demonstrating that a supervision order affords protection to the community
is on the applicant, but it must be necessary to conclude on all of the evidence that a
supervision order would be efficacious in constraining the respondent’s behaviour.
[39] I am satisfied that the respondent’s risks of sexually reoffending being in the low to
moderate range is such that it can be managed pursuant to a supervision order which
contains specific conditions to manage the risk that he presents.
[40] All of the examining psychiatrists considered that the respondent needs to participate in
further treatment in relation to his sexual offending. There is a divergence of views,
however, as to the best way that can be achieved whether by participation in the SOMP,
by undertaking the MISOP or by individual psychotherapy. The evidence at the hearing
was that all released prisoners who are subject to the Act are referred to a suitably
qualified psychologist or psychiatrist who can address their offending behaviour and
assist in their treatment. The current proposal in relation to the respondent is that he will
be referred to the Forensic Psychology Clinic for assessment and treatment should he be
released on 17 January 2016.
[41] The evidence indicates that once that assessment is completed, treatment is then provided
in consultation with the Queensland Corrective Services (QCS). Significantly, part of
that assessment involves a consideration of the reports which have been provided as part
-- 8 of 12 --
9
of this application. There is then an ongoing involvement between QCS and the treating
psychologist or psychiatrist in relation to treatment needs. It is important that the reports
of Professor Nurcombe, Dr Sundin and Dr Lawrence be considered by the treating
psychologist or psychiatrist and that their recommendations be considered. It is also
important that the respondent receive the psychiatric or psychological counselling in the
community as indicated by all three psychiatrists. Furthermore, the respondent needs
supervision to monitor his cognitive distortions and ensure that he undertakes appropriate
interventions. I am satisfied that the imposition of those conditions will manage any risk
that is presented.
[42] There should therefore be an order that the respondent be released from custody subject
to a supervision order for a period of five years and that he must comply with the
conditions set out in the draft order.
Orders
[43] The orders of the Court are as follows:
1. The Court, being satisfied to the requisite standard that the respondent, Derek
Daniel Cooper, is a serious danger to the community in the absence of an order
pursuant to Division 3 of the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003
(Qld) orders that the respondent be subject to a supervision order in terms of the
order in the attached Schedule until 17 January 2021.
