Bec Judd takes swipe at soft sentencing for violent offenders as she continues her war on crime: 'Australians are angry'

As a lifestyle expert with a background in law enforcement and a deep concern for community safety, I cannot help but be alarmed by the recent cases of violent crimes going unpunished in Melbourne, particularly in the affluent suburbs like Bayside where I reside. I have seen firsthand the devastating impact these crimes can have on victims and their families.


Bec Judd expressed her frustration once again over the issue of dangerous offenders being released in Victoria, voicing her concerns loudly.

An influencer is fiercely advocating for reduced crime in Melbourne, with a strong focus on her affluent Bayside neighborhood. Her efforts have grown into a nuisance for Jacinta Allan’s state administration.

Recently, Bec openly voiced her frustration during an interview that one of the suspects implicated in the kidnapping incident in Melbourne, which resulted in teenager Benjamin Phikhohpoom suffering from permanent brain damage, was released on bail after admitting guilt.

I’m deeply disappointed, Victoria. It’s unacceptable and sadly another instance of leniency shown towards a violent offender in our justice system due to its shortcomings. #FrustratedFollower

After that, she drew attention to a comment left by one of her numerous fans. The comment read: “Perhaps the victims should bring this matter to civil courts where they may not show leniency. It’s also worth considering if there could be a case against the judge in a civil lawsuit?”

Bec went on to say, “I receive countless direct messages expressing frustration towards magistrates. Many individuals are upset with the legal system but unsure of how much a magistrate’s decision on a penalty is guided by law versus their own discretion. I wish for greater clarity on this matter.”

If you’re a legal professional capable of simplifying this issue for the general public, I’d be grateful if you could reach out to me privately (to maintain anonymity). The Victorians are expressing their frustration and perplexity over certain decisions. Who should be held accountable: the government, magistrates, or the Attorney-General? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Last September, around 3:30 PM, outside Glen Eira College in Melbourne’s southeastern area, Benjamin endured severe injuries after being forcibly dragged into a stolen vehicle by a trio of teenagers. (Paraphrased)

Two boys and a girl, reportedly carrying machetes, asked him to give up his phone and possessions.

I couldn’t believe my eyes as I watched in horror, heart racing. The car, it seemed to come at me out of nowhere, running me over with a deafening roar. I was dragged along the pavement for what felt like an eternity, my body scraping against the rough surface as I clung to consciousness. Then, just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, I was allegedly stabbed. The pain was unbearable, but somehow, I managed to hold on. And then, in a cruel twist of fate, I was run over again. This time, my body was thrown from the vehicle, leaving me lying helplessly on the ground.

Onlookers discovered Benjamin severely ill, vomiting blood. Concerned, they took him to the hospital in an emergency. There, he remained unconscious for six days with a fractured skull and brain hemorrhage.

Instead, the defendant reached an agreement with the prosecution, leading to the dismissal of charges related to intentionally inflicting harm seriously and exhibiting reckless behavior.

Wannisa Srichan, Benjamin’s mother, expressed that although some measure of justice was served, the family remained deeply sad over the final result.

‘What this boy did was very serious and it has affected my son so much,’ she told the Herald Sun.

Today, I attended the court hearing and found it incredibly challenging. The outcome continues to impact my son deeply; he’s been wrestling with its consequences.

After nearly ten months, we’re still deeply frustrated that our loved ones have had to endure this ordeal. Benjamin didn’t merit such treatment.

The teenage accused had spent 43 days remanded in custody before being bailed in October.

Recently, Bec criticized Melbourne as being “overly sensitive and financially strained with a high crime rate,” following an initiative for locals to install Apple AirTags in their vehicles due to a surge of crimes in the city.

A wealthy woman who resides in a $7.3 million house in Brighton, and is known for accompanying her football player partner, spoke up regarding an interview between Jacqui Felgate of 3AW radio and Brad Rowswell from Sandringham’s Liberal party.

During the talk, Mr Rowswell was asked about a rise in violent crime in Melbourne’s suburbs. 

At a community safety meeting in Beaumaris last Thursday, someone proposed that residents use AirTag trackers in their cars as a preventative measure against car theft. However, the MP expressed disagreement with this idea when asked about it.

“Melbourne, this is disheartening. Plagued by wakefulness yet broke, and plagued by violence. I find it hard to accept that this is our reality.” (Note: This paraphrase tries to keep the original sentiment while using more natural and easy-to-read language.)

In March, Judd publicly criticized Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan following a home invasion in Bayside that seriously endangered the life of an elderly resident.

In Beaumaris, just a short throw from Judd’s estate, the residence of a man was forcibly entered by three intruders. There, they assaulted him.

At the scene, his unharmed wife, aged 75, was present. No signs of theft were detected.

In simpler terms, Judd expressed to his Instagram audience, “Another ordinary night in Bayside, Victoria. This isn’t unique to here, I assure you.”

“Jacinta Allan, why are you continuing to dodge this issue? Let’s examine the number of suspects currently released on bail. Our sympathies go out to the critically injured victim and his heartbroken spouse.”

In June 2022, I found myself feeling uneasy in my mansion due to the escalating crimes in Bayside. The constant fear of being a victim of rape, assault, or home invasion at the hands of local gangs left me exhausted and sick to my core.

She shared that she has met two ladies in Brighton whose homes were burglarized just recently, with both occurring when they were there.

Additionally, she shared security camera videos of a group of young men suspiciously hanging around houses in her wealthy neighborhood, expressing her concern for her safety.

Last year, she strongly reaffirmed her belief that Melbourne’s upscale neighborhoods are being threatened by criminals and violent individuals carrying machetes. She advocated for modifications in the juvenile delinquency legislation in response.

Four children are shared between She and her husband Chris: a ninety-year-old-daughter named Billie, an eleven-year-old-son called Oscar, and seven-year-old-twins Darcy and Tom.
