1. It’s going to be an interesting trial:
A 47-year-old man from Pearce will appear in the ACT Magistrates Court later today (Thursday, October 28) charged with the sexual assault of a sex worker.
Police will allege that on October 15 the man called the woman and a price was negotiated for sexual services.
On October 21 the man arrived at the house with an envelope he said contained the agreed sum of money. After they had sex the woman checked the envelope to find it did not contain money.
The man left shortly after, promising to return at a later time with the money. However, she has not seen the man since that day.
The woman contacted the Sex Workers Outreach Program who urged her to go to the police.
Police enquiries located the man, they arrested and charged him with sexual intercourse without consent and making off without payment.
UPDATE: The ABC informs us that the gentleman in question is one Akis Livas, and he has been bailed.
