JK was charged with pervert the course of justice contrary to s139 Crimes Act 1900.
This is a serious offence which carries a maximum penalty of 14 years.
Chris Cole acted for JK in this matter.
At Sentencing Chris Cole tendered a number of materials on JK’s behalf including affidavits, psychological reports and multiple character references.
Ultimately, JK was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 22 months to be served by way of an Intensive Correction Order in the community.
This is a very pleasing outcome as JK has avoided imprisonment and is able to serve his Order in the community.
