Police Officers Breach of Privacy Charges

Reverend the Hon. FRED NILE: I ask the Attorney General, and Minister for Justice: Is it a fact that transsexual Brigitte Fell had a sexual relationship with Garrick Jacobson without informing him that he had undergone a sex change? Is it an offence under section 61I of the Crimes Act to have sexual relations with a person without their informed consent? Is it a fact that Constables Tyrone Stacey and Brendan Ritson allegedly informed Mr Jacobson of this crime and subsequently were charged with a breach of privacy? Will the Attorney General take action to have the charges against Constables Stacey and Ritson reviewed and dropped?

The Hon. JOHN HATZISTERGOS: This is a matter that I understand is before the court. I decline to comment in those circumstances.
