Cezanne Visser, the former advocate who became known as “Advocate Barbie”, has lost a second attempt to be released from prison

The correctional supervision and parole board on Friday turned down Visser’s request to convert her prison sentence to correctional supervision.

Visser is serving a seven-year jail term for indecently assaulting young girls and women, for the manufacture and possession of child pornography, and for defrauding a children’s home.

She started serving her sentence in May 2010 after the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed an application for leave to appeal.

During the earlier legal proceedings, Acting Judge Chris Eksteen had stern words for her.

He told the lawyer that she had let go of her "moral life and education to hang on to an immoral lifestyle".

"You ended up... in a web of indecency."

Her boyfriend at the time, Dirk Prinsloo, who she claimed was "an abusive monster" who forced her into the crimes, evaded trial by fleeing the country. News reports state that he was living off various girlfriends in Belarus - before being arrested for theft and attempted bank robbery, and sentenced to a 13-year jail term.
