This is another sad fact, it is amazing how many totally immoral and despicable people, hide behind a facade of being a caring and concerned individual.

From the article:
A man who repeatedly raped his wife and whose years of brutal, cruel and degrading abuse left a judge struggling to find the words to describe his conduct has been jailed for 15 years.
Jon Seccull, a former White Ribbon ambassador and charity fundraiser and the son of a retired policeman, must spend 10½ years in prison before he is eligible for parole for
sexual violence against his wife between 2011 and 2015.
County Court judge Frank Gucciardo said on Monday that it was difficult to comprehend the sadistic nature of Seccull’s violence against his then wife, Michelle Skewes, and the humiliating and demeaning acts that inflicted “indignity of the highest order”.
“The offending leaves the court bereft of adequate words to describe its moral depravity,” Judge Gucciardo said as Seccull watched the online hearing from prison.
“Even after many years of criminal law, such abhorrent conduct is breathtaking.”
Before Seccull’s crimes became public he was renowned for his charity work in Ballarat in raising awareness for organ donation after one of the couple’s four children died when hit by a train. The couple separated in 2016, the same year Seccull was charged.
During their marriage, Seccull coerced Ms Skewes into sexual interactions with other men, and meted out violence as “punishment” when he didn’t get what he wanted, all with vile insults. The court heard he at times abused her until she vomited and he had threatened to release a video of her with another man.
