A former Australian cop got a 12-month community sentence for lying in a 2020 rape trial that led to charges being dropped.
A former senior Australian police officer, known as Officer A, was sentenced to a 12-month intensive correction order for perjury related to the 2020 rape trial of NRL player Jack de Belin.
Officer A admitted to giving false evidence during a pre-trial hearing, withholding information about privileged messages between de Belin and his lawyer.
The misconduct contributed to two failed trials and the eventual dropping of charges against de Belin and co-accused Callan Sinclair.
The judge, citing undiagnosed PTSD and the officer’s lack of intent to deceive, deemed the sentence appropriate, noting the lie was basic and likely to be uncovered.
Officer A will serve the sentence in the community under supervision, including required psychological treatment, and his identity remains protected by a non-publication order.
