'Our children are not safe': Drawings found on notorious paedophile's wall
Prison staff found drawings of children on the cell wall of notorious killer and paedophile Michael Guider, a court has heard.
NSW Supreme Court judge Richard Button heard one of the images was a replica of a boy photographed in a magazine and that there was a "significant amount of detail in the drawing".
A packed courtroom heard on Tuesday the images were found while Guider was serving a 17-year sentence for the death of schoolgirl Samantha Knight and the sexual abuse of several children, a prison term that has now drawn to a close.
Forensic psychiatrist Jonathon Adams, who told the court Guider possessed a high risk of committing sexual offences again, said the images were potentially consistent with him still harbouring sexual fantasies about children despite his denials.
Guider, 68, killed nine-year-old Samantha after she disappeared from Bondi in August 1986. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2002, however he now claims he did not kill Samantha and will deny it "to his dying day". Her body has never been found.
Guider was also jailed for sex offences against 13 boys and girls, committed between 1980 and 1996. Guider took photos of his victims and drugged some of them with sleeping tablets in soft drinks before he assaulted them.
The court is considering Guider's fate as the state applies to keep him behind bars for another year as well as a five-year supervision order placed over him.
It comes as one of his victims told the court the man who groomed and sexually abused her is "not a one-trick pony and is not finished yet".
Lisa Giles, 43, said Guider was like a "machine with a persistent, singular purpose" and whose "vitality" would not fade with age.
"This is not a man who will fade into obscurity and potter humbly around his garden," Ms Giles said on Tuesday as she read from a lengthy statement.
"I know he looks dishevelled and his body moves around slowly, but it doesn't mean his brain is tiring.
"If Michael Guider is free, given an inch, he will take a mile. He will take a child's innocence, relish it in his hands and drink it like a fine wine."
Justice Button made an interim order in June to keep him locked up beyond his scheduled release until a final order could be considered.
But Ms Giles, who gave permission to be identified as a sexual abuse survivor, said the justice system's treatment of Guider should be more "bespoke".
She said the man wooed families by taking portraits they couldn't afford, and his camera should be one of the "tools" he should be stripped of, as well as access to social media and the internet.
She said the success of any supervision order was "almost destined to fail" and that the "decimation" of a child's mind was a "lifelong sentence" he should share.
"This man is a known menace to the long-term safety to the citizens of my local and broader community," she said.
"We are not physically safe if he is released. Our children are not safe and our minds are not safe."
