Immediate Release from Jail for Sexual Touching Without Consent
My client was charged with sexual touching without consent arising out of an incident at the Beach Road Hotel in Bondi Beach. Under previous legal representation, he plead guilty, was refused bail and remanded in custody at the Metropolitan Remand & Reception Centre at Silverwater. He sought my advice as to the way forward.
Upon sentencing, submissions were made to Her Honour regarding my client’s prospects of rehabilitation, and why the offending behaviour was an isolated incident inter alia.
Ultimately Her Honour was satisfied that my client should be released immediately with the time already served in custody being adequate punishment when considering the purposes of sentencing.
A great result for my client who was released from jail on the same day as the court proceedings.
