Vic: Brown sentenced over rape of teenager
A Victorian County Court has heard the killer of a young Chinese student had been on
parole for just four months after serving 10 years' jail when he attacked and raped a
teenage girl.
MARK HASTIE BROWN, 34, has been jailed for six-and-a-half years.
Judge PAMELA JENKINS ordered BROWN to serve a minimum non-parole term of five years.
BROWN, having had his parole revoked, will begin the current sentence when he has completed
his 12-year maximum term for murder next year.
The court heard BROWN, with a history of sexual assaults attacked the 18-year-old high
school student on a bicycle path in Seaford on October 20, 1999.
In sentencing, Judge JENKINS said BROWN, as a convicted murderer at the time, qualified
as a serious violent offender.
