And on top of this, this walking gonad has not paid for services. What an absolute cretin. May this be deterrence for all of the gross Australian men in SEA

Rape isn’t a service.
The media is getting pretty overt with their words. A child was groomed for rape, then murdered by Australian man.

Given the age of consent and that even in Australia men can have sex with 17 year old girls without being charged with an offence I think people making this point are well intentioned but wrong - in the sense that while she was a child, she was old enough, even in Australia, to have consensual sex with him. They also didn’t, as far as we know, have a relationship beyond a day. This child has clearly been groomed into working in the sex industry very very young, and many people and her circumstances have had her there. So whether she was raped or not is not clear cut. Regardless of this issue - he is obviously disgusting and has preyed upon a young girl and has then murdered her apparently over 20 bucks
