72-year-old Bester, convicted abuser of Grace Tame, deemed unfit for court hearing due to vascular dementia.

72-year-old Nicolaas Ockert Bester, who sexually abused former Australian of the Year Grace Tame and faced jail time in 2011, has been diagnosed with vascular dementia and deemed unfit for a court hearing regarding allegations of harassing Tame on social media. Bester's lawyer Todd Kovacic stated that his client's fitness for the hearing would "almost certainly be conceded" based on medical assessments from both the defense and prosecution. The court will address the issue on August 28.
