Misaki, a young
student from Japan, found an advertisement on Gumtree for a cheap furnished
room on Barkly Street. This is not her real name. Misaki moved in but managed
to escape after four days with the help of concerned friends.
Misaki was cluey
enough to tape some of the conversations with Phillip. I have listened to the
recordings but I am unable to publish them because it is prohibited in Victoria. Victoria Police and Consumer Affairs Victoria have been
notified.
It is very difficult
listening to the recordings. It is truly disturbing stuff. This sixty-year
old man tries to groom Misaki telling her she is special, a princess, his
special friend, and so it goes on. He offers her reduced rent for god knows
what, which she refuses.
The class hallmark of
a molester is keeping the abuse under wraps. He repeatedly tells her that the
relationship is secret. Disturbingly, it sounds like he has done this kind of
thing many times before. He refers to another Japanese girl that had stayed
with him previously.
Here is an account by
the white knight that rescued Misaki:
My girlfriend is from Japan. She recently had her
friend come from Japan to live here in Australia. My girlfriend was helping her
find a place, found this ad and took her friend to met Philip aka “Richard
Puller” and they decided it was okay for her to move in (mainly because there
was another Japanese girl staying there). The moment she was alone with him
which was the first day, he bought her clothes and told her to get changed in
front of him, he continued to be sleazy trying to kiss her saying he loves her
and when she wouldn’t do things he would slam door and get angry.
Luckily Misaki recorded many conversations he had with her. The recordings are
well beyond grooming, controlling sexual things that made me want to vomit.
“Rent goes down if you do what I say”, “we will have a special secret
friendship”, “you have nice boobs and I love you and we will have good special
friendship if you don’t tell people about us” etc. Complete sexual predator! I
have made a statement about this but they weren’t sure about how they could
handle it, as he didn’t rape her pretty much. I immediately took Misaki away
from this creep, she only stayed there for four days and already all this
happened.
The other girl living there is scared of him and hides in her room. She is
leaving because of him. I told she can stay with me and my girlfriend and now Misaki
just to help her escape. I have spoken to people that have heard of this man
and said he always has Asian girls stay with him. Obviously he preys on WEAK
scared venerable Asian women so nothing probably would have been reported. These
girls cry themselves to sleep every night and then just flee home scared with
this as their main memory of Australia. These girls wouldn’t go to the police you
see. It makes me sick. All I pray for is that no more travelling Asian girls
can walk into this trap. If this man is not stopped it will definitely end in
rape.
The difficulty is
that the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 does not deal with situations like
this. Anyone can become a landlord, there are no restrictions. To protect vulnerable
people, property owners should have to apply to the regulator
to rent out their place. We need to safeguard
the public.
