CHILD PROTECTION (OFFENDERS REGISTRATION) ACT 2000 - SECT 3AA
Risk to sexual safety of children--meaning
3AA Risk to sexual safety of children--meaning
(1) For the purposes of this Act, a person poses a
"risk to the lives or sexual safety of one or more children, or of children
generally" if there is a risk that the person will engage in conduct that may
constitute a Class 1 offence or a Class 2 offence against or in respect of a
child or children.
(2) In order for a court to be satisfied that a person
poses a risk to the lives or sexual safety of one or more children, or of
children generally, it is not necessary for the court to be able to identify a
risk to particular children, or a particular class of children.
(3) A court
is to take the following into account in determining whether a person poses a
risk to the lives or sexual safety of one or more children, or of children
generally-- (a) the seriousness of each registrable offence committed by the
person,
(b) the age of the person at the time each of those offences was
committed,
(c) the age of each victim of each of those offences at the time
that the offence was committed,
(d) the seriousness of any other offences
committed by the person,
(e) the impact on the person if the order being
sought is made compared with the likelihood that the person may commit a
registrable offence,
(f) any other matter that the court considers to be
relevant.
