A rapist who expressed a desire to blow up a courtroom has again avoided time behind bars after three judges found the decision to suspend his jail sentence was, while "undeniably lenient", not erroneous.
The 19-year-old man, who cannot be named because he was underage at the time of his crime, raped his former girlfriend at a Gungahlin recycling centre in February 2020.
His offending involved him grabbing the victim by the throat and pinning her against a brick wall in what was described as "a secluded area", where the pair were surrounded by shrubbery and large bins.
