And here was me thinking the Cairns Post would have some nice pics of the wonderful shaggable Jungle Jane, instead it is just some guy.

Ahh, the return of the old "Swap the image whilst no-ones looking" trick.

If that is in fact the shag-doll in question on the Cairns Post website, its amazingly life-like, if unnecessarily ugly. With a beard.

Charges 

Joke

Shouldn't he be charged with 'breaking and entering and entering'?

Bad Beaver

I still object 

Stop

to the use of "perv" in this case. Criminal, yes. Weird, yes. Sad, yes. Perv? How?

Missing An "Alleged" Here? 

So the police didn't issue the suspect's name but the Cairns Post is quite happy to show a picture of *someone* thus publicly identifying them before the trial?

If he is found guilty then by all means call the suspect the "Jungle Jane Shagger", but until then shouldn't they be referred to as the alleged Jungle Jane Shagger?

Seeing his picture...

makes the reasons for his behaviour clear...

Charges...

He is charged with two counts of entering premices with intent and one count of breaking in.

So he burgled the shop three time and raided the bar next door which covers the four counts of entering the premices with intent so is the charge for "attempted break-in" intended to cover the alleged rape of the Jungle Jane blow up doll?

If this is the case then the "attempted" part is just vindictive. Its a rubber doll. You either break it in or you dont. Its not as though its going to fight back. Then again from the look of the photo of the suspected perp , he does look like someone who could loose a fight with a blow up doll.

Rather unfortunate...

The article linked to in the Cairns Post has a rather unfortunate quote from a policeman involved in it:

"...we attended a Manunda address..."

Not sure he was the man under Jungle Jane though...

Hollerith

Why not just buy one? 

Or is he, erm, strapped for cash? Or does he just not like washing the thing afterwards?

If he gets off on the robbery -- pal, they aren't feeling violated. You are wanking into a piece of inflated plastic.

The charge

If the dolls are at all damaged after his activities, will he be charged with Entering and Breaking?

Hooray.... 

It's Friday already!

But... 

... did he leave a deposit?

Brace yourselves 

Joke

Anyone else reckon the charges will be inflated?

Brace yer selves (again)

Yes, the charges will probably be blown up out of all proportion,

Paris, cos she knows how to blow.

Hmm...

Judging by that picture, no wonder he was shagging inflatable sex-toys. What real woman (or man, for that matter) would want to shag *that*?

Customer Focus 

Maybe he just wanted to try them out first before making a purchase. Most people do that sort of thing with shoes -- you know, try to find something that fits.

RE: I still object 

He is considered a perv by both sides of the moral fence:

"Sex doesn't exist" side - because he was performing the act

"Sex is enjoyable" side - because he was abusing and wasting perfectly good dolls.

"It is a real concern that someone like that is out on the street" 

I'm sure that the dolls will rest easy now.

I suppose...

I suppose you could say that he was pretty hard up.
