The Bulli rapist who terrorised an entire city will be released from jail this morning.


In a nine-month period Terry John Williamson attacked and raped ten females aged from 5 to 43 as well as an 11-year-old boy in the Wollongong area.

The red-headed Williamson has spent the last 22 years behind bars for the brutal attacks committed while he was only nineteen .

At the height of his reign from August 1989 to May 1990 the streets of the city and surrounding suburbs were empty with women and parents too terrified to leave their homes or let their children play.

As hysteria broke out during Williamson’s reign of terror community leaders called public meetings to address the community.

So great were people’s fears no-one would turn up.

Now 42 Williamson will walk free from Silverwater jail under the strictest of parole conditions.

The State parole Authority granted his release with strict reporting conditions after refusing parole for seven straigt years.

By releasing Williamson two years before his full jail sentence the Authority can impose the strict conditions they have set. If he is kept until his full date he would be released without any conditions at all.

When it was announced Williamson would be released victims groups were outraged and victims shocked.

Victims of Crime Association League (VOCAL) vice-president Howard Brown said one of Williamson’s victims had moved out of NSW.

“She is so scared what would happen when he is released,” Mr Brown told reporters outside the hearing today.

“In my view, given the nature of these offences, this person should have received a life sentence, never to be released.”

As part of his parole, Williamson will be subject to:

· Must adhere to electronic monitoring

· Banned from the State’s Illawarra region

· Must undertake drug and alcohol testing

· Must continue psychological counselling

· Must comply with all directions regarding treatment and medication

· Cannot contact his victims

· Banned from contacting children under 16 without supervision

· Must adhere to curfews
