Infamous gang rapist Mohammed Skaf is back in court over domestic violence order

The man who perpetrated vile gang rapes that shocked the nation has returned to court, four years after his release from prison. Mohammed Skaf, 41, was the subject of an apprehended violence order application made by his 28-year-old sister, who he lives with, in March. Skaf didn't show up to Bankstown Local Court on April 30, but court records indicated a magistrate levied a series of conditions against him. The conditions prevent Skaf from assaulting or threatening Noora El Skaf, or anybody whom she has a relationship with. The conditions also ordered Skaf not to harm her property or animals, the Daily Telegraph reported. Records showed the pair live at the same home in Greenacre which they share with their mother, father and younger brother, Hadi. Noora also has an interim domestic AVO against Hadi and the application will be heard at an hour-long hearing in October. Noora's latest application against Skaf was her second against him in the past year. She lodged one against him in August, but withdrew it in October. The matter will return to court on May 21. Skaf served 21 years at Long Bay jail before his release in 2021. He was involved in a series of vile gang rapes against young girls around Sydney's south-west as a 17-year-old. His older brother, Bilal, led the depraved assaults. He will be eligible for parole in 2033. During a month-long spree of violence in the lead-up to the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the Skaf brothers and a group of roughly 12 accomplices trapped and attacked at least six women. The 14 men raped one victim 25 times in three different locations in a six-hour ordeal which ended with her being dumped at a train station after being hosed down. She was called an 'Aussie pig', told by Mohammed Skaf 'I'm going to f*** you Leb style' and asked if 'Leb c*** tasted better than Aussie c***'. In another attack, a 16-year-old was pinned down on the ground and raped by 18-year-old Bilal while a dozen of his underlings stood around laughing. 'These men treated her much like wild animals treat prey they have just killed,' New South Wales District Court judge Michael Finnane said during sentencing. Judge Finnane described the rapes as 'worse than death'. Skaf expressed hopes of building a new life after his release from prison, including marriage, children, and a career in architecture. Instead, he has landed himself in further legal troubles, including multiple AVO applications – one of them filed for his own protection.
