Yesterday, he was jailed for three years and nine months on two counts of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection and one of indecent assault. The first crimes were in 2022 or 2023 after his de facto partner had been discharged from time in hospital. When the defendant was grilled by police, he admitted violating the woman twice at her home and six times at the rest-home over a four-month period. In December last year at the rest-home, the man turned his attention to a girl more than 40 years younger than his first victim.
