Repeat child sexual abuser showed no remorse, called crimes 'brain fart'

A man who sexually abused three children is likely to die in jail after showing no remorse and describing his criminal actions as "a brain fart".

The 84-year-old man, who has not been named to protect the identity of the victims, repeatedly sexually assaulted the girls dating back about 20 years.

He faced the ACT Supreme Court on Friday, May 22, via audio-visual link. He had trouble hearing the court and said it was "a bloody joke" before the issue was fixed.
