SERIAL paedophile Philip Cave has been jailed yet again, and will not be eligible for release on parole until he is 93-years-old.
The District Court yesterday ordered Cave, 61, serve 14 years’ jail for six counts of persistent sexual exploitation of a child and one count of unlawful sexual intercourse.
In sentencing, Judge Paul Rice said adding his penalty onto Cave’s existing jail terms would result in a sentence of 54 years, with a 36-year non-parole period.
“In making these orders, I am conscious of the fact that you may die in custody,” he said.
“Stepping back and looking at totality, there is scope for a modest reduction of the end result.
“(The) non-parole period reduced to 33 years.”
Cave’s offending history dates back 40 years and includes incidents in which he abused boys and then “farmed them out” to other paedophiles.

His colleagues included child molester and TV host Ric Marshall.
In December last year, one of Cave’s previous victims dubbed him “evil” and said the paedophile had “poisoned” his life.
Today, Judge Rice struggled to describe the impact of Cave’s latest crimes.
“The victim impact statements make harrowing reading… whole lives have been ruined,” he said.
Judge Rice said he doubted a jail term would serve to deter Cave from further offending, should he live to be released.
“You would be released on parole when you were aged 93 years,” he said.
