Three Werribee men have been jailed for giving drugs to and sexually assaulting two young girls, and now face deportation.
Rahamutullah Rahamutullah, Mohammed Nuramin and Noor Hason were found guilty by a County Court jury of 11 offences committed in December, 2018.
They were found guilty of two counts of supplying a drug of dependence to a child, two counts of sexual assault of a child under 16 and seven counts of sexual penetration of a child under 12.
The court heard the victims, aged 11 and 12 year, were both in the care of the state and living in a residential unit in Thomastown.
At that time, the three offenders were aged 21, 22 and 28.
County Court judge Rosemary Carlin said the trio faced deportation.
“Common to each of you is your Rohingya background and the fact you came via boat to Australia seeking sanctuary within months of each other in 2013,” she said.
“Also common is the fact that whatever hopes you had of achieving that sanctuary have been seriously threatened, if not extinguished, by your actions on this night.
“Your respective visas were cancelled after you were charged, and you are now all classed as unlawful non-citizens in Australia rendering you liable to deportation.
“You are effectively stateless and your future upon your release from prison for these offences is uncertain.”
Rahamutullah was convicted and sentenced to 12 years and six months’ jail, with a non-parole period of seven and a half years.
Nuramin was convicted and sentenced to 11 years and four months’s jail with a minimum of six years and nine months.
Hason was convicted and sentenced to 12 years and 10 months with a minimum of seven years and eight months.
All three will be on the sex offender register for 15 years.
