Jan-Maree Dunlop will not be subject to an order under the dangerous sexual offenders act.

A woman who procured a young girl for her husband to rape has not been declared a dangerous sex offender.

On Tuesday, a judge handed down his reasons for rejecting an application for Jan-Maree Dunlop to declared a dangerous sex offender, finding she did not pose a serious risk to the community.

Dunlop, formerly known as Jan-Maree Farrenkothen, was sentenced to 14 years jail for her role in a 2002 crime in Gladstone, where she lured a young girl to a bedroom where she was handcuffed, gagged and raped by Jurgen 'Terry' Farrenkothen.

Dunlop also sexually assaulted child, was was aged 10.

With her release imminent, the Attorney-General made an application for an order under the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act, which was dismissed by Justice David Jackson.

Consultant psychiatrist Dr Beech provided evidence that Dunlop's risk of reoffending in the community was one to three per cent.

In making his decision Justice Jackson reflected on Dunlop's aspiration to "obtain suitable accommodation and employment, with the assistance of her sister" upon release.

The Attorney-General's office declined to comment.

Dunlop will be due for release before the end of the year.
