His career is 'destroyed' and he fears self-harm if sentence stay denied.
背景
Ralph Carr, a prominent entertainment industry and AFL figure, was convicted of two counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against a former employee in March 2023. He pleaded not guilty. The conviction and subsequent imprisonment have led to severe mental health concerns, as detailed in a psychiatrist's report presented during his appeal hearing.
来龙去脉
- Mar 2023The alleged assault occurred after the victim spent an evening with Carr, drinking and using cocaine.
- Jul 2026Carr was convicted of two counts of rape and one count of sexual assault after a trial in the County Court of Victoria.
- Aug 17, 2026During an appeal hearing, the court heard that Carr told psychiatrist Dr Jacqueline Rakov he had deliberately hit his head in custody and was having three to four panic attacks a day. His lawyer argued his career is destroyed and that he is at risk of suicide if his sentence stay is denied.
各方怎么说
- Defense
- Carr's lawyer, Dermot Dann KC, argued that Carr's career is destroyed and that he is in a 'living hell', with a risk of suicide if his application for a stay is denied.
- Prosecution
- The prosecution argued that the alleged victim was the most important witness, and she gave evidence over more than four days in a closed court.
待核实
It is unclear whether Carr's 23-hour lockdown is due to his risk of self-harm or because he is a high-profile inmate at risk from others.
