A shopkeeper sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually abusing an eight-week-old baby and two girls under the age of five had his appeal to have his long sentence reduced.
In 2021, Bryan Michael Grange’s depravity was exposed in court when it was revealed that the 39-year-old opportunistically abused three children between 2014 and 2018.
The western Sydney man filmed himself orally raping his youngest victim, an eight-week-old baby, whom he abused while the baby’s mother and Grange’s wife were outside smoking a cigarette.
Also on another occasion, he indecently assaulted a little girl, recording his actions on a minute-long video while those around him had the impression that he was helping her go to the bathroom.
His third victim, a girl, was assaulted over several years while she was sleeping, bathing, or using public restrooms.
Western Sydney racketeer Bryan Michael Grange was jailed for 30 years for sexually abusing an eight-week-old baby boy and two girls.
US authorities alerted Australian federal police to a Sydney dark web user, prompting them to raid Grange’s home and find tens of thousands of child abuse items.
These included acts of bestiality, urination, and various bondage images and videos.
He was sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to a variety of child sex crimes, with a non-parole period of 20 years and six months.
Grange appealed his sentence to the New South Wales supreme court, claiming it was “grossly excessive”.
Grange’s lawyer, Sue Kluss, argued in the Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) on Friday that the objective criminality was “above what was appropriate in the circumstances”. the daily telegraph informed.
Bryan Michael Grange (pictured) appealed the severity of his sentence, claiming it was “grossly excessive”.
Kluss said Grange’s case was different, as evidence showed his victims were too young to remember the assaults and therefore suffered no psychological damage.
“The final submission is that this sentence level is too high,” he said.
The Court of Criminal Appeals dismissed the appeal in a majority decision and Judge Geoffrey Bellew said he could not uphold Grange being wrongly sentenced.
“I am not…convinced that the sentence imposed is manifestly excessive or, in other words, unreasonable or clearly unfair,” he said.
‘The objective gravity of the applicant’s infringement is self-evident.
“While the sentence imposed could be considered severe, that is not entirely surprising given the circumstances.”
Grange launched an appeal on the severity of his sentence to the Court of Criminal Appeal. The claim has been dismissed by the judge.
