Prosecutors had been seeking to have Brooker indefinitely detained on the basis that he is "unwilling to control his sexual instincts" in "a position which was supported by the expert evidence".Justice Adam Kimber dismissed the application in South Australia's Supreme Court today, stating "the order would have no utility at the end of what would be an inevitably long sentence.
