GANG rapist Bilal Skaf has been attacked by three fellow inmates inside Goulburn jail.

The 33-year old suffered head injuries when he was assaulted in the prison yard last Friday afternoon.

“About 2pm on 10 April a 33-year-old inmate was allegedly assaulted in a yard at Goulburn Correctional Centre,’’ a Corrective Services spokesman said today.

“As a result the inmate sustained minor head injuries. He was escorted to hospital for treatment and returned the same day.’’

“Three inmates have been segregated while the investigation continues.’’

JAILHOUSE JUSTICE DISHED OUT TO ‘SMARTARSE RAPIST’ BILAL SKAF

Skaf was the ring leader of a group of up to 14 Lebanese Australians, including his brother Mohammed who raped a number of teenage girls throughout the south west of Sydney in 2000.

They called one of their victims “Aussie pig’’ during one attack on a teenager raped 25 times over six hours.

Skaf was 19 at the time and was sentenced to 55 years jail by justice Michael Finnane in 2005.

“What this trial showed was that he was the leader of the pack, a liar, a bully, a coward, callous and mean,’ said Judge Michael Finnane in his sentencing remarks of Bilal Skaf.

His brother Mohammed Skaf, is serving 32 years’ jail for his part in the attacks.

Skaf began his prison sentence in Long Bay Correctional Centre, but was moved to maximum security in Goulburn Gaol when a plot to inject him with HIV infected blood was uncovered by prison officers.
