Woman who lured girl, 10, for husband to rape to walk free

A Queensland woman who used her young son to lure a 10-year-old girl into her home so her husband could rape her is poised to be released from prison.

Jan-Maree Farrenkothen was jailed in 2002 after she was found to have used her son to trick the victim, who was just 10, into coming to “play” at the Gladstone house she shared with her husband Jurgen ‘Terry’ Farrenkothen.

Once the girl was inside, Jan-Maree lured her upstairs where she was handcuffed, gagged and repeatedly raped by Terry over a number of days.

Police eventually found and rescued the girl but believe the couple would have killed her if she was not discovered.

Jan-Maree is now nearing the end of her 14-year sentence and nears release, but the Attorney General is fighting to keep her locked up, or impose severe conditions on her parole, the Courier Mail reports.
