Victim Speaks Out as Notorious Child Abuser is Released from Custody
A victim of a high-profile child predator, who once operated a refuge for homeless children, has delivered a chilling public warning following the dangerous offender's release from jail. The details of his current whereabouts remain a closely guarded secret, sparking outrage and concern.
Predator's Crimes and Release
Simon Davies, aged 69, groomed vulnerable boys in Sydney's Kings Cross district during the 1980s. He was released from custody on Tuesday after serving less than five years of his sentence. Davies, a former adviser to the Australian, US, and British governments, fled the country before a global manhunt eventually led to his extradition from the Netherlands in 2021 to face trial.
After pleading guilty to five child abuse charges, including buggery, he received a ten-year jail sentence with a non-parole period of six years and three months. Now, one of his victims, Glen Fisher, has broken his silence with a stark warning about the man he claims destroyed countless young lives.
Victim's Stark Warning
'This guy is a narcissistic abuser and there is no doubt in my mind that he will reoffend,' Fisher told Daily Mail. 'The world needs to know this man and I will make sure they do.' Fisher emphasized that Davies ran a children's refuge for the most vulnerable kids on the street, many of whom have since passed away.
'Many of whom we'll never hear from because they couldn't find their voice. I don't just speak for me, I speak for them. I'm angry, but I'm not broken,' he added. The New South Wales State Parole Authority confirmed Davies had faced a hearing in December and would be transferred into the custody of Australian Border Force ahead of deportation to the UK.
Lack of Transparency and Parole Conditions
As a victim, Fisher was informed ahead of time and told his abuser would be held at a deportation facility. However, the statement also noted that if Davies remains or returns to Australia, he will be subject to mandatory electronic monitoring and must comply with strict parole conditions.
Australian Border Force stated it could not confirm if or when Davies would be deported or release any further information about him due to privacy restrictions. Fisher has criticized the lack of transparency, arguing the public deserves to know exactly where Davies is at all times.
Direct Message to the Predator
Fisher issued a blunt message directly to the convicted predator: 'This is to you, Simon, you're a f***ing koala bear - a protected species.' He expressed frustration with the handling of Davies' release, saying, 'I think it's unfair, you'll be taken from the jail by Border Force, put into some kind of secluded area and then gently put onto the plane. And once you get off the plane, you won't even have to wear a monitor or report to anyone.'
Background of Abuse and Legal Battles
Fisher was just 14 when he found himself living on the streets and moved into the Homeless Children's Association hostel. Along with dozens of other vulnerable boys, he was promised help to get his life together. Instead, he endured years of abuse at the hands of men who used their positions of trust to prey on the young people in their care.
Fisher gave evidence against Davies in 1996, named him again in statements in 2012, and once more in 2015 during hearings before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Despite repeated allegations and investigations, Davies had already fled Australia in 1993.
Global Manhunt and Legal Outcomes
An arrest warrant was issued for him in 2016, followed by an Interpol red notice the following year, as authorities launched a global appeal to track him down. 'The system is a joke, they put out a red notice on him and somehow he got to the Netherlands and negotiated 17 charges down to just five,' said Fisher. 'But that little frightened boy that he remembers is now guarded by a very different man.'
Fisher added, 'And when he gets back to the UK, I want him to be branded for the rest of his life as the serial grub that he is.' He bravely waived his right to anonymity during the trials to protect children everywhere and has written a book, Predators Paradise, A Journey Of Survival And Resilience.
Ongoing Mission for Justice
'I am going to make it my mission to make sure the whole world knows what he did. This voice will never be silenced,' Fisher declared. His warning raises critical questions about the balance between privacy laws and public safety in cases involving released child predators.
