Rapist ‘monster’ who held woman captive for two days ‘deserves no mercy’, court told

Key points

• Sisituutuumata Fulivai, 47, was found guilty of 20 charges at the ACT Supreme Court, including sexual intercourse without consent and unlawful confinement. His victim told the court he had held her captive for two days at his Lyneham home in June 2024.
• She escaped naked and was found by police. Prosecutors said he posed a significant risk to women and called for a significant prison term.
• His barrister argued rehabilitation should still be considered. Justice Belinda Baker reserved her decision and will sentence Fulivai, who remains in custody, at a later date.
