In a statement to the court,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, one of his victims said: "He took away my virginity at an age when I should have been playing with Barbie dolls."
A serial sex offender has been sentenced to 27 years in jail for brazen attacks against children.
She said Bavage's offending was clearly at the "high end of seriousness".
Jeffrey Bavage, 47, was convicted of 14 sexual offences over a 30-year period in a series of Victorian County Court trials.
"I don't feel anything for him - he is a monster."
"What you did to these children represents everyone's worst nightmare,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login," Judge Hampel said.
He has already served 839 days in custody.
"I just felt that he should be held accountable for what he has done. I was the victim and now I have come forward and now I have come out on top," she said.
His offences included breaking into a caravan and molesting a seven-year-old girl who was sleeping next to her brothers in the popular Victorian seaside town of Torquay.
Outside court, one victim who cannot be identified,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, said the community was now safe from Bavage "for a very long time".
He offered another of his victims, a 17-year-old girl, a lift to work in 2002 before "brutally" raping her by a creek north of Melbourne.
The court heard Bavage had 95 previous convictions from 28 court appearances.
Judge Hampel said Bavage was a "high risk" of reoffending.
It was conduct such as Bavage's that led parents to view their friends and neighbours with suspicion, the judge said.
Bavage, formerly of Lara, south west of Melbourne, must serve a minimum of 21 years before being eligible for parole.
Many of Bavage's victims went to police following media publicity surrounding his arrest over the Torquay assault, the court heard.
"The offences were all brazen. You took advantage of children, sleeping in the family home or campsite."
