| The creator of a Facebook page set up to rate the sexual performance of the residents of Bendigo that featured sexually degrading comments about people as young as 13 has been sentenced to a suspended jail term.
Josh Turner, 25, from the Bendigo suburb of Kangaroo Flat, was also banned from the social networking site for two years after he pleaded guilty in the Bendigo Magistrates Court yesterday to charges of using a carriage service to offend and using an online information service to publish objectionable material.
The community have been absolutely outraged by this. She is a young girl, still in school... her name has been trashed.
Prosecutor Senior Constable Mark Herman said Turner set up the “Benders root rate” page on Facebook in June last year. 'Benders' is a local slang term for Bendigo.
“He has invited people to join the group and make comments rating their past sexual partners,” he said. Advertisement
“He posted them on the wall of the “root rate” feed. The page was not blocked and anyone could view it.”
