Evil 8 member David Volmer to be kicked out of Australia after prison release

Source: Perth Now, 18/11/2017


FORMER Christian pastor and Evil 8 paedophile ring member David Volmer
will be turfed out of the country as soon as he is released from jail
in WA.
Volmer is one of dozens of WA child sex predators who have had their
visas cancelled under the Turnbull Government’s hardline stance on
deporting criminals on character grounds.
It’s understood Volmer will be sent back to his native South Africa
after serving his 10-and a-half-year jail term for raping and drugging
a young girl “offered” to him by her own father after the men met
through a Craigslist advertisement. If he is granted parole, Volmer
will be kicked out of Australia in 2024.
Of the 3000 visas cancelled on character grounds nationally since
2014, 436 â€` or 14.5 per cent â€` have been from WA.
Across Australia, 212 of those decisions have involved child sex
offenders â€` and 21 per cent, or 45, were from WA. In the west, three
others have had their visas torn up because of child pornography crimes.
Another WA rapist, Robin Gerald Dyers, will be booted as soon as his
jail term is over. The Federal Government has cancelled the South
African-born prisoner’s Australian citizenship.
Dyers, a one-time semi-professional soccer player, is serving an
11-year jail term for raping a 16-year-old girl and a young woman in
Perth’s southern suburbs in the late 1990s as well as another sex
attack in 2011.
Immigration and Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton, soon to
assume the super ministry of home affairs, defended the en masse visa
and citizenship cancellations, saying these criminals and predators
had no right to live here, let alone to call Australia home.
He said under the new home affairs portfolio he would bring together
the expertise of Australia’s key spy, security and law enforcement
agencies to track paedophiles and their networks, including targeting
their digital footprints.
“I will do whatever I can within the law to crush these paedophile
networks here in Australia or online,” Mr Dutton said.
“The home affairs portfolio will be using every resource available to
it to continue the great work the Australian Border Force and
Australian Federal Police are already undertaking in this space.”
All members of the Evil 8 ring have been convicted. One person, Mark
Wesley Liggins, has been granted parole.
Liggins did not abuse the girl at the centre of the ring but had been
in contact with her father through online ads, while police discovered
he had been having sexually explicit conversations with young girls
online and requesting naked photographs.
He was sentenced to just over two years in jail.
Liggins was granted parole last month under a number of conditions,
including having no unsupervised contact with girls under 16.
