Family 'torn apart' as man on bail for child rape sexually assaults second girl

A victim's mother says their family has been "torn apart" by a Canberra predator who sexually assaulted the child while on bail for raping another girl.

The perpetrator, a 20-year-old north Canberra man who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced in the ACT Supreme Court on Friday to three years, six months and 27 days in jail.

Justice Michael Elkaim backdated the sentence to commence in March 2021 and ordered the offender to serve just shy of two years before becoming eligible for parole.
