The 39-year-old was found guilty of 17 rape and sexual assault charges last September, following accusations from 15 women spanning 12 years.
He was sentenced yesterday to 23 years with a 10 year minimum non-parole period.
Detective Inspector Nicola Reeves says investigators always believed the victims, and they hope others take note.
Reeves is urging people to speak to them - if they think something has happened - even if they're unsure, or afraid.
