At the Dame Phyllis Frost Correctional Centre

hild abuse material between May and June of 2023. The female child in the materials was identified as Harper’s own 5-year-old daughter….

During the trial, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Rajan Darjee was called upon to interview Harper and create a profile of his offending. Disturbingly, Darjee framed Harper as though he were a “female” who had been “pressured” by a male into committing the offenses.

Darjee told the court that Harper would not need any “specific interventions to prevent further sexual offending” and dismissed the need for sex offender treatment. He also denied that Harper had a paraphilic disorder, and argued that Harper had no sexual attraction to children.

Judge Nola Karapanagiotidis similarly highlighted Harper’s “gender dysphoria” and experiences with “transphobia” as mitigating factors, and appeared to accept the defense’s argument that he only committed the abuse to be “validated … as a woman and a sexual person.”

A strange way of being validated as a woman: sexually abusing your 5-year-old daughter.

Both Harper’s arrest and trial were completed in relative silence, with no police releases or domestic media indicating the incident had occurred. Reduxx was first to cover Harper’s case after a source close to the court came forward to provide information on Harper and his charges.

Now, Reduxx has learned that Harper has been housed in a women’s facility in Victoria on the basis of his self-declared “gender identity.”

Harper is being held at the Dame Phyllis Frost Correctional Centre, which has previously attracted controversy for housing transgender sex offenders amongst the female inmates.

What would Dame Phyllis have made of all this? And what on earth is going on in Australia?

Added. It's not a happy place:

A former prisoner says she documented seven suicide attempts in just four weeks inside Victoria's maximum security women's prison, amid a wave of lockdowns triggered by staff shortages….

With each prisoner sealed in a small individual cell, Ms Flanagan likened the conditions to solitary confinement.

She says she and her fellow prisoners were locked away with no interaction or support or sometimes even meals for days and nights on end.

"You'd normally get unlocked at 8:30 in the morning, they would count everyone … and then the next thing you know, you're not getting let out. So you're required to stay in your cell," she told 7.30.
