Lauren Huxley’s Attacker Denied Parole
A closed hearing will decide whether Robert Black Farmer can be released after serving 24.5 years for a 2005 attack on Lauren Huxley.
- On Thursday, the NSW State Parole Authority denied parole for Robert Black Farmer, who brutally attacked Lauren Huxley in her Northmead home in 2005.
- The Serious Offenders Review Council recommended refusing parole, citing Farmer's ongoing denial of his crimes and his failure to complete the Violent Offenders Therapeutic Program.
- Citing the assault's "horrific" nature, the authority mandated one-on-one risk mitigation sessions with a Corrective Services NSW psychologist, deeming completion critical given Farmer's ongoing denial.
- Lauren Huxley's sister, Simone Gibson, said the family felt they could "breathe again" following the ruling, expressing relief after years of dread.
- Farmer will not be reconsidered until next year, though his total sentence expires on January 31, 2031; he retains the right to apply for a review.
