72-year-old Nicolaas Ockert Bester, who previously sexually abused former Australian of the Year Grace Tame, faces further delays in his court case due to health issues. Accused of harassing Tame online, Bester's hearing has been adjourned to November 5 with a tentative date set for December 23, contingent on the availability of expert medical witnesses. Tame, the 2021 Australian of the Year and child sexual abuse survivor advocate, is unlikely to be required to give evidence.
