A convicted member of a notorious paedophile ring is appealing his jail sentence.

In March, Alfred John Impicciatore, 48, was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years in a Western Australia prison for repeatedly raping a 13-year-old girl while her father, who is also serving time in jail, watched on and joined in. 

On Wednesday, Impicciatore launched an appeal against the sentence, saying police didn’t follow procedures when eliciting a confession. 

No date has been set yet for his appeal hearing.

Two charges against Impicciatore came out of admissions he made to police.

Impicciatore had tried to get a video of his police interview ruled inadmissible for the trial, claiming police detained him longer than was allowed, but his bid failed.

He was the only member of the Evil 8 to fight the charges against him.

At one point, he fled the state and had to be extradited from NSW.

Trial Judge Mark Herron said during sentencing that Impicciatore had not showed any remorse and had taken advantage of a girl who was extremely vulnerable.

“Your actions were depraved and were entirely for your own sexual gratification,” Judge Herron said.

Eight men were originally implicated in the investigation, but one was never charged with offences related to the girl.

The girl’s father, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to dozens of charges and was sentenced in June 2016 to 22-and-a-half years in jail.

He later lost an appeal against the length of his sentence.

The five other men received sentences ranging from three years to almost 13 years.
