Threats to rape and bash disabled prisoner

SENIOR ranking public officials, including prison officers, have been caught threatening to rape and bash a disabled former prisoner during a disturbing gang ambush.

News Corp has obtained footage that shows three current and former Corrections Victoria staff members surround and taunt the exinmate, who is intellectually disabled and in a motorised wheelchair.

One threatens to sodomise the man during the vile encounter outside a venue in Melbourne. “I’d love to rape you,” one of the men said.

“There is a camera sitting right above my head. You want to go around the corner?

“Come around the corner … there are no cameras there so I can’t be done.”

A second man can be seen charging toward the defenceless victim before making threats to “crack” his skull.

“Go get your mates, come back and I’ll rip your f---king throat out you piece of s--t.”

The victim tells the men “don’t touch me” before one of the aggressors realises they are being filmed.

The man attempts to cover the camera lens before the group walks away.

Corrections Victoria confirmed it had suspended two staff members over the “reprehensible” attack.

“The conduct of the people in this video is reprehensible and completely unacceptable behaviour,” a Corrections Victoria spokesman said.

“An investigation into this matter is continuing.”

The third man is now understood to be working elsewhere but his new employer is investigating.
