EXCLUSIVEReviled gang rapist Bilal Skaf has his neck slashed open with an insane prison-made weapon... as we reveal his unsettling new hobby all the crims are furious about
Few sentences bring joy like 'Bilal Skaf attacked behind bars'.
And so it is with tremendous pleasure I report the hated Sydney gang rapist had his neck slashed during a jail yard fight at one of New South Wales' most feared prisons last week.
Skaf, 42, was cut during a daytime confrontation in a yard at Goulburn Correctional Centre when warring inmates came up with a grim yet ingenious way of causing serious harm from afar.
The rapist was struck in the neck by an apple embedded with a razor blade or other sharp piece of metal during a long-distance fight between prisoners.
Although it was a minor cut, it did cause Skaf to bleed and he was taken to the prison's nurse for the wound to be treated.
It is understood the maximum-security inmates were then locked in their cells and threatened that privileges such as access to pizza and doughnuts, which are rewarded for good behaviour, could be withdrawn following the incident.
Corrective Services NSW confirmed that 'at about midday on Tuesday, 25 February 2025 a 43-year-old was in a yard in Goulburn Correctional Centre when he was hit by objects from inmates in the adjoining yard, and sustained an injury to his neck.
'He was provided with medical treatment on-site as a result. A 25-year-old inmate was placed into segregation for the good order and security of the centre.'
It is not the first time Skaf has been attacked behind bars, having been the target of other inmates due to his terrible crimes, including a 2015 attack when he was set upon by two other inmates who caved in one of his eye sockets.

In the year 2000, Skaf was the ringleader of 14 teenage men, including his younger brother Mohammed, who participated in a degrading series of rapes intended to traumatise and humiliate young Australian girls.
He summoned carloads of men to rape girls as young as 16 'Leb-style' - his diabolical enterprise inspired by a trip to his parents' homeland of Lebanon from which he returned with warped ideas about the freedoms enjoyed by Australian women.
The victims were viciously sexually assaulted by multiple men, robbed of jewellery, watches, mobile phones and money, called 's**ts' and threatened with retribution if the rapists caught sexually transmitted diseases or HIV.
Daily Mail Australia has learned that Skaf is also daubing the walls of Goulburn prison with paintings, which has caused some disquiet at the historic facility.
Some prison art is tolerated, even admired, such as the walls painted at Long Bay Correctional Centre by bank robber Tim Guider, the brother of the paedophile who killed Samantha Knight, Michael Guider.
Tim Guider's 14m-long murals were entered into the Sulman Prize competition at the Art Gallery of NSW.
However, Bilal Skaf, who fancies himself as something of an artist, is best known for the vile drawings he did after his fiancée dumped him following her realisation that his claims his victims were willing or complicit were false.
By early 2003, the 20-year-old woman had decided her engagement to Skaf was over and in March she told him she didn't want to see him again.

In 2003, after Bilal Skaf's fiancée (pictured visiting him in jail, left) ended their relationship, he drew a series of vile cartoons depicting a woman, said to represent her, being gang raped and shot dead (right)
Soon afterwards, the drawings, which included caricatures of violence and gang rape, with his former fiancée believed to be the depicted victim, were discovered in Skaf's prison cell.
In one of the monstrous cartoons, Skaf drew a woman being raped while one of the men watching says: ‘Hurry up man, there's 50 others waiting.'
In another, an armed soldier was seen firing bullets into a woman at point-blank range, with blood dripping from her wounds and the soldier standing over her saying, 'Ya sl*t.'
Bilal Skaf, who has at the very minimum another eight years to serve, has had a drama-filled prison life over the last two decades.
Bilal began his sentence in Sydney's Long Bay Correctional Centre where, guards, said, he thought he would be given a hero's welcome by Lebanese inmates such as the gangland murderer Michael Kanaan.
Instead, he was targeted for bringing disgrace to the Lebanese-Australian community.
Bilal Skaf has been incarcerated at Goulburn Correctional Centre for decades and has at least another eight years to go until his earliest possible release

When officers uncovered plans by fellow inmates to inject him with HIV-infected blood, he was moved to Goulburn's Multi Purpose Unit (MPU), known as 'the Bronx' or 'baby Supermax' for housing risky or at-risk prisoners.
But at the MPU, Skaf was later discovered to have a stack of hardcore pornography in his cell and he was moved to the real Supermax.
It was there, in late 2002, that his mother Baria was captured on security cameras concealing 'love letters' from Bilal to his fiancée in her socks. The letters caused a security alert.
Skaf led 14 teenage men, including his younger brother Mohammed, on a degrading series of rapes intended to traumatise and humiliate young Australian girls
What alarmed Corrective Services was that Skaf had drawn two detailed maps in one letter, showing his cell and surrounding locations.
Then Corrective Services NSW Commissioner Ron Woodham feared it could be an escape plan. Baria was banned for visiting her then 21-year-old son for two years.
In 2003, Bilal was charged with writing a threatening letter to Woodham.
The letter, containing white powder amid scares about the bioterrorism agent anthrax, said: 'Don't take this as a threat but if all Muslims aren't released by January 2003 Australia and citizens will be in danger of bombing.'

While at Supermax, Bilal Skaf was also caught hiding a crowbar in a towel, a weapon he planned to use only for personal protection, he told guards.
Bilal's brother Mohammed walked free from jail in 2021, after the state Parole Authority denied his release twice in 2020, and Judge Michael Finnane called him 'a vicious, cowardly bully, arrogant and a liar, as well as being a rapist'.
Bilal, whose original 55-year maximum sentence was reduced on appeal in 2006 to a 32-year minimum, has an earliest release date of February 2033.
But his lack of remorse, if he continues to blame his victims, would mean that, like his brother, he could expect to serve much longer.
