FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Convicted sex offender and former MP Terry Martin has been attacked by two women outside a Hobart court where he received a suspended prison sentence for possessing child pornography.
Mr Martin was hit by an elderly woman with a walking stick before a second woman launched at him with her handbag and threw a punch.
The incident occurred as the former upper house MP and local mayor rounded a corner outside the Tasmanian Supreme Court on Thursday.
One of Mr Martin’s legal team and a court sheriff restrained the second woman, while the elderly woman shouted: “I’ll never forgive you. The devil will take you for what you’ve done.”
The women would not identify themselves but one claimed she had been a victim of sexual assault.
In November last year, Mr Martin received a 10-month suspended jail sentence on two charges related to having sex with a 12-year-old girl prostituted by her parents.
The 54-year-old on Thursday received a further one-month suspended sentence, on the condition he commit no offence punishable by imprisonment for 21 months, after pleading guilty to a charge of possessing child exploitation material.
Justice Alan Blow also ordered he surrender his laptop computer, an external hard drive, a camera and photos.
Police had found around 700 pornographic images of children and 10 pornographic slide shows set to music on Mr Martin’s computer equipment when they searched his home in October 2009.
Justice Blow said Mr Martin, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2005, would not have committed the crimes if he had not taken drugs prescribed for his condition, the dopamine agonists cabergoline and pramipexole.
He said neurological reports showed the drugs had resulted in episodes of compulsive eating, buying, hoarding, hypersexuality and “punding”, a fascination with pointless repetitive tasks.
The behaviour included using 162 different prostitutes at a cost of around $150,000.
Justice Blow said Mr Martin’s impulse control disorders were serious enough to be considered a mental illness.
“Since ceasing the dopamine agonist medication in November 2009, Mr Martin has completely lost interest in pornography,” Justice Blow said.
“He no longer experiences hypersexuality in any respect. He has no sexual interest in children. He never did have a particular sexual interest in children, but was indiscriminate in the pornography that he obtained, and in the pornography that he used in creating his slide shows.”
Justice Blow said Mr Martin had since suffered dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome, which had symptoms of severe anxiety, and he was unable to work.
“But for the charges against him, he might well have been re-elected to the Legislative Council for another six years in 2010,” Justice Blow said.
Justice Blow pointed to Mr Martin’s role in politics and community originations, saying he had made “an enormous contribution to the Tasmanian community”.
