NSW: Man claims police conspiracy led to teen rape charges
A Sydney man accused of drugging a woman he met through a dating service and raping
her teenaged daughter says a police conspiracy is behind the charges.
ARTHUR FAIRWELL allegedly used chloroform to drug the 50-year-old woman after being
invited to her Campbelltown home on May the 19th last year.
The the Supreme Court was told the 37-year-old then allegedly raped the woman's 13-year-old
daughter.
Seeking bail today, and representing himself at the hearing, FAIRWELL appeared via
videolink from the Silverwater remand centre.
He told Justice DAVID LEVINE that police had laid charges against him because of evidence
he had about a detective involved in paedophilia.
FAIRWELL'S mother, FARIDEH KAZAZI, gave evidence that she was appointed as his guardian
yesterday.
She asked the judge to adjourn the bail hearing, saying she wanted to talk to defence
lawyers about the case because of FAIRWELL'S mental illness.
Justice LEVINE adjourned the matter to March the 3rd.
