Aussie Sex Offenders 
Disgusting piece of lowlife
LMAO HE LOOKS LIKE RYLAND ADAMS
Hahaha what a creep. Posing in the shower.
Something seriously wrong with the creep.
Oh! That’s right. He’s another pedo.
I know someone who might be dating this guy. Does anyone here know him? Is this definitely him, and is he definitely is a registered sex offender?
Mary, he would not be on this page if he was not a sex offender.
Read the sentencing. He’s been convicted. It’s him. Many sources have confirmed
If you need the confirmation, look at his drivers license or his passport. Can 100% confirm this lowlife is using ‘Leigh’ as a fake name, can 100% confirm it’s him.
Turns my stomach!
Leave him behind bars.
Pedo’s should be catrated, kept away from all kids including their own, and never released.
I would say your friend is safe I wish I could reach out but I have lost touch with my ex over the years this is a case of what was unfair.
Are you saying that the girl who could be dating this sex offender is safe?!
I highly doubt she’s safe from the mental trauma he’s about to inflict on her by lying his ass off the entire time he’s with her. And also the manipulation! The controlling! The poor girl probably doesn’t even know his real name is Royston.
If you think she’s safe, you’re completely blindsided.
And who is this ex that you wish to reach out to? None of what you have said makes sense.
I agree, unfair they didn’t slip on a banana peel and break their neck, lol
Are you serious? I doubt it because you come across as a pretender trying to fool everyone except you’re pathetic at it. That’s why you pick on children who are defenceless, can’t visually see you, unable to differentiate between good and evil due to these tactics, just know this:- you can fool some of the people all of the time, you can fool some people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. If your innocently that dumb please disregard
You sound like the dumbest drongo only we don’t believe you, try harder
hey mary i hope your friend isnt still dating this sicko!!!
He wouldn’t be on this site if he wasn’t a sex offender.It just wouldn’t be done.
It’s funny how sex offenders never jack up when they are publicly exposed. They never complsin that they didn’t do it. Confirms their filthy guilt.
Beats me why they’re allowed to walk around the streets.
One bloke even joined online Dads for kids, and a Seniors group that allows him to travel interstate on bus tours etc without being detected.
It’s like the alcoholic who says he’s given up the booze but buys a house near a pub so he csn sneak away and have a quickie.
Fifty or a hundred k’s from kuds is no problem to the scum. They play on distance.
Sex offenders no matter the age of their victim will ALWAYS be sex offenders. Always have the urge even if they’re guven control drugs or the snip.ALWAYS. Because that’s their nature. Noone can stop them from doing what they do.
They should be kept behibd bars in a special jail or made to wear an electronic device permanently.
Either your friend doesn’t know or is perverted like him.
I just read the details of his case (in the link provided under his profile here), and apparently it was a consensual relationship with his underage girlfriend (13-15yo) when he was 20… Personally I do find it to be a big age difference, but I think back, and am pretty sure there were many classmates interested in older boys and even in relationships (of which you don’t really think of the law aspect of it all at that age), and 20 still is quite young.
I think it’s very sad and unfortunate he’s on the same list as pedophiles who are an actual danger to us and our children.
It’s not all black and white.
It is NOT ‘very sad’ at all.
He knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was sexing an underage girl.
He knew this was illegal.
He knew it was a crime (to say the least).
He had no respect for the girl or the law.
He thought he would get away with it.
Some people take advantage of young crushes. He is an oppoertunist and seemingly consensual or not, one fact remains. He was and is a paedofile.
No. It is not sad. Thr only sad thing about it is he got caught.
Paedophiles donot need sympathisers.
Amen moonlight! It’s also probably him commenting, wouldn’t put it past him.
Anonymous: Who knows (whether he is posting or not). I am not wasting my time investigating.
Anonymous, a paedo is a paedo and the beauty about the paedo us s/he always and inevitably gets caught.
It can’t come quick enough.
Anonymous: I want a big, fat RAT TRAP! Can you help me? 😉
Thats exactly what I thought, sounds like the culprit himself. Regardless of the supposed consensual relationship a 13 year old girl is unable to make such decisions and would’ve been coerced and manipulated by a 20 year old male. The buck stops with him. To be honest I think a few remarks are the pedo club because you can tell by their inane commentss, they don’t possess the ability to have adult conversations
Yep it’s predatory behaviour regardless. There’s a huge difference between the ages even though under ten years diff.20 is two years past adulthood.I was a child at 13,15, by 20 your a young man.ADULT shame on the lil maggott
Mcfly, yes heinous affair. Beats me they they are allowed to roam free.Laws have to change. Their needs to be s city especially for them and them alone. In the middle of nowhere.
No internet. No drivers license, a basis mibile phone and lots of hard work.
The ones who have gotten away with it, never beeb caught and or died need to be exposed too. Their victims need it.
They should not be allowed to marry, have a partber or have kids.
20 is a man.
13-15 is a child.
Ask a 13-15 yo who has been a victim of a 19-20 yo how they feel, how they got thru life.
Have you noticed that pedos are childlike?
Their brains havenot developed properly. They act like Sambo. They have no real rational or moral foundatiins. They are filled with the need to exert power over others and really do think with their d@k.
Giving them “control drugs” is ridiculous because it is their THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS that dictate, NOT their physical urges.
But then, why really fix it when pedos are cashcows? At great cost to victims. Innocent people.
On one hand you’ve git “victims” who lived with, had sex with, were partners to pedos and seem to brag about it ir be proud. They claim consent. That makes them complicit with the filth. Most would have knowledge of the maggits activities.
On the other hand, you have “victims” who are tricked into sex with the scum who taints them, degrades them forever and who after the pedo screws them will disclose they are a pedo, true to the pedos nature, as if to say, You can’t do a thing about it.
But they can.
Then yoy get the pedo who luves a couple of blocks from a school who befriends neighbours as a cover
Oh ain’t he a good person. He’s quiet. Kind. Looks after his aged mother. He is soooo gooood.
Trouble is he is not what he appears to be.
Even cops will like him.
Everyone will “believe” whatever he says.
They will even be held in highest esteem by colleagues, society.
So many different types but they are all MAGGOTS.
Ahhhh,
You’re him! Tactical response to try and play the victim card.. post something from someone else, try and make him out to be “the good guy”.
And if you’re not him, he’s probably asked you to write this to help his case of becoming someone else, trying to change his name to make sure he doesn’t have to tell anyone what he did. Yes he was in a “consensual relationship” however he groomed that young girl for her TO SAY YES, to obey him, to be controlled by him.
I can also let you know that every single person he comes in contact with, he uses them like a pawn. He uses women to keep him out of jail. And he abused young girls for his own sexual desire.
So sure, keep believing that it’s just like a teenage crush.. you’re probably his next victim.
Consentual or not it is still an offence. He is still a paedo.
Donot twist the truth.
Donot excuse a paedo.
Anyone knows childrrn and teenagers ate impressionable and open to many deceptions.
Wasn’t at ALL defending him!!! I was trying to say that she was groomed to the point where she would say yes to whatever (I’m sure of it). But it’s still wrong!!! He’s still a pedo! I cannot believe he isn’t behind bars really.
Yes. I realise this. And I didnot AT ALL say or infer that you did.
I love Moonlight.
Lock them all up un underground hivels out woop woop underground dug outs
AND MAKE THEM WORK AND PAY TAX.
THE TAXPAYER should not be supporting them.
I know what he needs. So many abusers and users like him. They always come undone!
Cautious. You want to be careful in drawung such conclusions because 1. Unless you.are the perpetrator, you donot actually know. 2. Many sex offender victims, domestic violence victims rape victims, etc are persuaded to go eady, to withdraw complaints, to say it was cinsensual etc for a variety of reasons that allows the scum to get off easy or altogether and this us often turned back on the victim.
Like I said, unless you are him you will never know 100%.
Courts like media sometimes get it wrong in criminal cases but noone geys it wring with sex offenders because authorities always HAVE PROOF to arrest sex offenders.Otherwise it woukdn’t stand. Using emotional blackmail to twist the truth shoukd be a crime. It’s a firm of bullying and bulkies are twisted like sex offenders. Same ilk.
Your part of the problem enabler! Nope never sexted under 18.but I remember 13 to 15 girls getting picked up from school by guys in there early twenties, consent doesn’t mean shit.Be better or stop breathing.
Only the other day I was thinking about a couple who have been married for sbout 50 years (not sure exactly) and it dawned on me, “Hey hsng on a minute, HE was screwing his 13vyr old now wife at that age and that means he was(is because they never can lose it) a pedo! But he legitimised his pedophilia by marrying her.He got away with it.”
How damned SNEAKY.
There IS no justification. 50 yrs down the track or not.
Pedos do NOT EVER stop being pedos.
I was this guys house mate at the time they lived in different states and you can’t tell me that when you were 15 you didnt sext someone he is also the first guy I ever dated so I do know this man very well and i can say that he was wrongly charged don’t think for a minute I wouldn’t stand up for him I met him when were both 11 so I will definitely voice my opinion on this he shouldn’t have been charged for having a GF and also how many girls lie about their age to get an older man I surely have so have fun ripping shreads into him when you don’t know the events
I dated this guy for a while.
He lied.
He tore me to shreds.
He pushed sex onto me.
He cheated.
He lied to the courts.
Safe to say, he’s a c*nt.
And yes, he is 100% a pedophile.
So whatever anyone says, I’d steer clear of him unless you want to get the clap.
I lost my virginity to him when I was 15. I just discovered this post after years of suspecting he is a paedophile. Did you ever report him?
I’m so sorry you went through this too. What a piece of shit he is. This is just more proof that he should be locked behind bars.
But yes, you can report him. It doesn’t matter how long ago it was, you can report him. I hope you find the strength and send you a whole lot of love ❤
Yes, and even when you were housemates with him, he was still convincing young girls to have sex with him. He manipulates absolutely everyone in his circle, where they believe his “I’m the victim” card. He is so good at it that he can hide it from housemates, “girlfriends” and even his own mother and father. They continue to want to fight for him without realising that he’s guilty as sin.
One day, they’re going to find out. And their “precious little Leigh” isn’t going to be welcomed in their family home. I wouldn’t be allowing him near my children, if I were his sister I wouldn’t let them the children.
Wouldn’t let him near the children*
My ex is a damn good liar like that.Everyone thinks he’s the bees knees.
“I like X. He’s charming.”
Saving bee. You will believe what you want to believe. Why? Because dirty rotten sex offenders are clever dicks, pardon the pun, not intelligent or even humane, just cunning enough to live iff their wit and fool people like you. That’s why they get away with their filth for years but like sex traffickers they all cone undone because they’re rotten to the core.
Incorrect re’ always and inevitably gets caught’ – very very few matters get to prosecution stage (those tat are reported – most offences are not reported), particularly with pedos, as their victims are not always credible witnesses. And it’s almost always his/her word against the victim/s.
I worked at the DPP and observed so many acquittals and hung juries – heartbreaking.
Noiburger. You are right in a sense. I can think of pedis going way back that hsve never been taken to task. Partly because others turn a blind eye or can’t be bothered.Sine are now dead. But that should not stop prosecutions. One has to question whether those in authority are really concerned (esp if the head if an organisation meant to protect kids and prosecute sex offenders turns out to be a rotten one themselves).
It is highly unfair to claim that someine is not ‘credible’.That’s no different to.the days when people were charged ubder the Vagrancy Act because there was nothing else to be charged with.
Someone who has been abused and wronged will always be credible. Some people just don’t want the public to know they are.Dirt comes out in the wash.
Every corrupt and rotten perpetrator deserves to be exposed no matter who they are, what they do, how much money they have or how much time is past.
No excuses, no half-measures.
another good article about him. His ability to lie and manipulate is extreme. Stay safe on tinder people.
https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6137330/sex-offender-suspended-from-canberra-centre-store-after-hiding-conviction/
He also worked in Witchery in Melbourne AFTER this incident in Canberra.
Can’t imagine how many little girls he tried to pick up there. Charismatic and deeply evil.
I worry so much for people who come in contact with him. Especially women or young girls who fall in love with his lie and start a family with him!!! The chances of him repeating his offences on his own children frighten me
How long ago was he working at Witchery? Do you know whether he is still there?
It was about 3.5/4 years ago now. He is no longer there, they fired him.
Oops sorry i accidentally clicked thumb down plse remove it if you can. I meant thumb up.
truth seeker.
Sex offenders must not have internet access.
This creep took my virginity when I was just 15. He was 19. A few years later I saw he was involved with a primary school friends very young sister. He initially lied to me about his name and this now makes a lot of sense. This predator obviously peruses young girls exclusively. Can I still report this?
Penny report ut. If you don’t then you are condoning it and it’s on your head.
He got turned on when I told him about my past sexual trauma..
If this doesn’t turn your stomach, not much else will.
What a sicko! I’m sorry you went through that birtinya.
I am one of his victims and I am collating women’s experiences with this sex offender. I have discovered, at this point in time, that he has at at least 9 victims. Please email joiningstories@gmail.com about your experience with Barker. Anonymous submissions can be made via https://joiningstories.wixsite.com/mysite
You’re site seems to be down
Another victim, faur enough but I would strongly caution anyine who thinks about contacting you and giving out their details.
Alternatively, speak with police. They could possibly make contact on behalf.
It is NEVER EVER wise to give out your personal or private details to anyone online. Especially of a sexually deviant nature like this.
It was not appropriste to solicit victims’ details
This guy needs to be updated with the fake name he is using please ADMIN! He’s using “Leigh Blackaby”. If any person is trying to google him, this page needs to come up indefinitely.
wow thats so scary. thank you for providing his real name. women beware
Or even “Leigh Barker”, just a thought.
Truthseeker, Is that what hes calling himself currently ?
Omg! This guy use to come to all my schools out door Ed camps to like the year 7 and 8 camps and then would try add all the girls on Facebook after the camp. What a sicko!!!!!! I knew he was a creep but didn’t realise how much of one!!!
Pedo:

so does anyone have any updates on this POS as he needs to be dealt with immediately
This needs to be updated, namely when you type in “Leigh Barker” so this pops up too. He’s trying to hide, the prick.
Thanx.The a%$@hole.
Does anyone know if this guy still resides in QLD? I live on the sunshine coast and it scares me that there’s a sex offender running free in the area. i have teenage children and its scary. Do we know if he has committed any other offences? I hope the police are keeping watch of him.
what a piece of Sh*t. it makes me so mad people like him can get away with this!! imagine the psychological damage this man had on that poor young woman. there is no justice in the courts!!!
I’m currently dating this individual and I am aware of his offences. He is a beautiful human being and I consider myself extremely lucky to have found him. You can keep on hating him all you wish but it only makes him a stronger person. True strength comes from adversity. Your all just a bunch of CLOWNS.
A bit weird that you know about this website then and you’re ok with it all.. he must have groomed you too like the girl/s he groomed in Melbourne. That girl watched him cheat on her in a carpark… with F. So I doubt this is a person called ‘J’ (I can’t assume gender here!) so I’m going to say this to you, Leigh.. Royston, Steve.. just stop. Stop baiting people with your lies. You are NOT resilient. You do NOT have “adversity”. You are NOT a person who should be allowed to touch another human being. And if this is a person called ‘J’ please don’t have children with him. Has he told you he can’t wait to be a “STAY AT HOME FATHER”?! And that he’ll control all the money, and buy a nice car and all that?! All lies babe. Lies, except for the control of money- that one he will and probably already does. You think he would be allowed to pick your child up from school? Fat chance, he’s a sex offender. He can’t go near schools, all names get put through a system, he will be red flag in no time. Birthday parties? No thanks! Sleep overs at your house? Think again! Soccer/hockey/netball training?! OH hold up.. nope, that’s how he groomed all those 14-16 year old girls when he was over 20 .. red flag!! He isn’t a loyal person, you can’t call him a man.. he is a sick individual. Don’t worry, he won’t be able to live his lie when it comes to having a “normal life”.. pretty sick that you allow all the lies to happen right in front of you. We’ve saved a girl before from him, hopefully you’ll open your eyes and see that this person shouldn’t be trusted. He cheats and lies. And is a pedophile. Straight up pedo. Oi, Royston, how’s your fiction novel “Resilient” coming along?!?!?! You prick..
Anyone know what this creeps suburb he is living in? Want to make sure he isnt near my daughters school
Thanks
