A convicted rapist who indecently assaulted a nine-year-old girl and exposed two children to pornography has escaped from Darwin's prison after removing his electronic monitoring bracelet.
Ebatarintja, who is from Alice Springs and is now aged about 41, has spent most of his adult life in prison, and hadIn 2012, Justice Trevor Riley said Ebatarintja had"an unfortunate criminal history" dating back to 1993, and had been imprisoned eight times between the ages of 18 and 33. In 2012, Ebatarintja pleaded guilty to exposing two girls aged six and nine to a pornographic film showing two people having sexual intercourse, asking the older girl if he could do with her what was being done in the video, and trying to pull down her shorts.Justice Riley said during sentencing for those offences that Ebatarintja's crimes were very serious and sexual in nature, and gave"rise to real concerns as to [his] prospects for rehabilitation".
