Revision as of 04:28, 18 August 2012

Stewart Murray Wilson (born 11 December 1946),[1][2] known as the "Beast of Blenheim", is a sexual offender from Blenheim, New Zealand. He is currently in Rolleston Prison.

As a teenager Wilson was convicted on burglary charges and was a patient at Cherry Farm psychiatric hospital in Dunedin, allegedly due to brain damage.[3]

In 1995 Wilson was found guilty of sexual offending against 21 female victims over 25 years.[4] The guilty verdicts were for seven charges of rape, one of attempted rape, six of indecent assault, two of stupefying, one of attempted stupefying, two of wilful ill-treatment of a child, and one of bestiality.[4] Many of the charges were laid representatively.[4] One of the rapes and one of the indecent assaults were of a girl under the age of 16.[4] In March 1996 Wilson was sentenced to 21 years imprisonment.[4][5] The judge said that he would have given a sentence of preventive detention, except that it was not available for the offences committed when they were.[4]

Despite repeated appearances before the parole board since September 2006[6] he has not been released due to his unrepentant behaviour, unwillingness to engage with treatment options and his assessed high/acute risk of reoffending.[1][2]

Wilson formed a long-term relationship while in prison.[7] A parole board hearing revealed his nominated support person was "serving a community-based sentence and ha[d] a history of mental disability."[8]

Wilson refused to provide a DNA sample in relation to the murder of Teresa Cormack,[9] for which another man was convicted on genetic evidence in 2002. In 2003, Wilson doctored and distributed a letter from the Justice Minister, Phil Goff.[10]

Wilson is due to be released from Rolleston Prison on 1 September 2012. The parole board has imposed 17 release conditions on him, one of which is to wear a GPS tracking device. This will make him the first New Zealand child sex offender to be tracked in such a manner. He will also be forced to live in a state house on Whanganui Prison land.[11]
