A SECURITY guard who has shown no remorse over his attack of a man during the Cronulla riot revenge attacks has become the final rioter to be sentenced.

The sentencing of Tariq Mehraby, 22, yesterday marked the end of proceedings against the Cronulla rioters and those who carried out revenge attacks in the ensuing days.

More than 100 people were charged by Strike Force Enoggera, including 51 people for the Sunday riots and 53 for the revenge attacks.

Sutherland Local Court Magistrate Glenn Bartley sentenced Mehraby to serve a maximum nine months and minimum six months’ periodic detention for his attack on a motorist on The Kingsway at Caringbah.

In May, he was convicted of affray, assault and malicious damage relating to the incident, which occurred about 10.45pm on December 12 in 2005 - the Monday following the Sunday riots at Cronulla.

Mr Bartley said Mehraby was driving a red Honda Civic with two male passengers which pulled up parallel to he gold-coloured Peugeot sedan in which the victim, John Moisidis, was sitting.

Without any provocation, Mehraby’s front passenger got out and began screaming and bashing the passenger side door while Mehraby got out and joined in the attack, hitting and kicking the car.

Glass from the car’s shattered windows struck Mr Moisidis, who was “shocked and horrified” during the “few minutes of terror”, Mr Bartley said.

The attack only ended when one of the group shouted “he’s one of us” referring to Mr Moisidis’ appearance.

Mehraby was convicted and fined $700 for failing to disclose the front-seat passenger’s identity to police.

Mehraby was also charged with the assault of a woman and her husband outside a Caringbah restaurant that night but was found not guilty.

The woman, Tara Matzen, was knocked unconscious and her husband Christian was bashed with a beer bottle after being ambushed by a carload of men.

Mehraby’s lawyer Stephen Hopper said his client had lost his job and learned a “big lesson”.

But Mr Bartley said: “The offences committed by the offender involved protracted and terrifying actual violence . . . the accused has no remorse and no contrition for them.”
