A former guard at an Australian youth detention centre has admitted filming himself asking teenage inmates for oral sex.
Conan Zamolo's testimony came during a royal commission inquiry into youth detention in the Northern Territory.
The commission was launched last year after photos showing inmates being strip-searched and placed in a spit hood drew widespread condemnation.

Mr Zamolo said his requests for oral sex were "a joke".
"I was actually just going to say goodnight to them because I was leaving shift," Mr Zamolo said on Monday.
"I knew they'd take it as a joke, or I just assumed they would take it as a joke."

Mr Zamolo also admitted to urging another inmate to eat faeces, and to filming a boy urinating.
"At the time I didn't think it was inappropriate, but now I see how inappropriate it is," he said.
He claimed he had a good relationship with the detainees.

The incidents happened at the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre, where Mr Zamolo worked from 2012 to 2014.
The Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory follows widespread condemnation of the treatment of detainees at Don Dale in 2014 and 2015.

In 2015, Amnesty International described the regime at the centre as "institutionalised brutality", with teenagers being held in solitary confinement with no access to light or water for long periods.

Message- don't do crime and you won't end up there.

No. The message s that even inmates deserve to be treated with dignity and not abused and assaulted.

Furthermore, what would you refer to assault as, if not a crime?

Why do you excuse the crimes of the guards at Don Dale?

I don't have much sympathy for criminals. I have sympathy for their victims though.

Mr Hammer wrote on Mar 21^st, 2017 at 1:24pm:



So you have no sympathy for the guards at Don Dale and sympathy for their victims.

Thanks for showing your humane side or a change, Hammer.

One day, Hammer will think before he speaks.

Nah, just kidding.

I imagine he's still trying to work out what i said.

greggerypeccary wrote on Mar 21^st, 2017 at 1:27pm:
Why, so I can be like you and hold back on what they really think? If your thought dreams could be seen they'd have your head in a guillotine.

Mr Hammer wrote on Mar 21^st, 2017 at 1:30pm:



Bob Dylan would be appalled that you are quoting him.

Mr Hammer wrote on Mar 21^st, 2017 at 1:31pm:


Yet you keep replying.

Did you understand hat i said Hammer? How badly you contradicted yourself?

Mr Hammer wrote on Mar 21^st, 2017 at 1:30pm:


You said: "I don't have much sympathy for criminals."

When a guard assaults an inmate, that's a criminal act.

You also said: "I have sympathy for their victims though."

In this case, the detainees are the victims.

Could you imagine the trash talk that goes on in a place like that?  It's not exactly the june dally watkins school of deportment.

I bet the guard just said eat sht and suck on a fat one and some smartarse kid is trying for a compensation payout

It's all he said she said at the moment.

"A former Don Dale guard has admitted he filmed himself bursting into a cell and repeatedly asking the boys in their beds to give him oral sex."

mothra wrote on Mar 21^st, 2017 at 1:40pm:
So that confirms what gordy stated, trash talk with the inmates laughing and responding in kind. Nothing to see here folks, move along. Not having a good day are you mothra.  Never mind, pecca will be along shortly to help you keep pretending  you are right.

Poor Hammer, so inclined to brutality to people he doesn't like, can't even admit what is abuse when it is staring him in the face.

My first job was labouring in a bakery. On my first shift
One of the bakers said it was time to make cheese rolls and it was my job to get the cheese
When I asked where he flopped his dick out and said,  under my foreskin.  Disgusting but I don't think he was serious about removing the smegma from his penis

Are people who get jobs as warders and guards at detention centres all perverts and brutal sadists?

Or is the management culture turning warders and guards into perverts and brutal sadists?

Some sicko repeatedly asks children to perform sex acts on him, and Hammer is fine with it.

greggerypeccary wrote on Mar 21^st, 2017 at 1:48pm:
Im not sure if Hammer is fine with it, but they arent children involved. Not having a good day are you Pecca? You can stand in  the corner with your dunce cap on next to Mothra.

Dont know, but nothing to do with this subject. Again you mention pedophilia out of context, whats with your constant urge to turn every thread into multiple references of child rape and pedophilia? You are one sick puppy Pecca.

Whenever pedophilia raises it's ugly head Rhino rushes to it's defence.

Yes, it is.

It's about an adult pestering children for sex.

Why do you condone such behaviour?

Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

The term pedophile is about people who are sexually attracted to children: to juveniles, to pre-pubescent people. Teenagers are not children. The term for an adult who is sexually attracted to teenagers -- to someone entering or in puberty, but who is not yet a full-grown adult is, instead hebephile or ephebephile. Unlike pedophilia, it is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. A paraphilia, for the record -- whether we're talking about pedophilia, zoophilia, coprophilia or any other -- is clinically defined as a persistent, pervasive and often exclusive sexual fantasy, urge or behavior. Most paraphilias involve objects of those attractions or behaviors which are inanimate, nonconsenting or unable to fully, clearly or informedly consent or which involve distress, humiliation or suffering on someone's part.

Why lie?

"The 14-year-old boy who escaped his cell can be heard repeatedly asking how long he had been in isolation and requesting to talk to staff.

Instead of negotiating with the boy, prison staff can be heard laughing and mocking him, calling the boy "an idiot" and a "little bugger*r"."

And:

"A "shocked" United Nations has called on Australia to compensate victims of abuse in youth detention and extend the royal commission into juvenile justice nationwide.

The global body noted children as young as 10 were "being held in inhumane conditions and treated cruelly", activities that could amount to a breach of Australia's human rights obligations."
