CD was charged with and plead guilty to common assault against his former de facto partner. The AVO that was put in place meant that CD could not see or speak to his child.
At Sentence, Chris Cole made oral submissions concerning penalty and the terms of the AVO.
Her Honour ultimately decided not to convict CD, but instead place CD on a Conditional Release Order for 12 months. Her Honour did decide however to uphold the AVO for 2 years.
This was a good outcome for CD.
