A Brisbane doctor has pleaded guilty to drug offences one year after a judge gave her parole and warned the new mother that drugs can put a child at “mortal risk”.
Suspended medical practitioner Rebecca Jane Ianniello, 35, faced Brisbane District Court this morning where she pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing dangerous drugs.
The court heard Ianniello was on parole when she was caught with methylamphetamine, cannabis and tetrahydrocannabinol on April 1 last year.
Just 12 months earlier, Ianniello was sentenced to two years’ jail with immediate parole after police uncovered 4.5g of pure methamphetamine and over $20,000 cash in a Brisbane CBD hotel room in November 2017.
The former Sunshine Coast doctor had also avoided jail in 2018 after being caught in a car with 30g of methylamphetamine.
She pleaded guilty to possessing dangerous drugs and was sentenced to 18 months’ jail with immediate parole.

At her sentence in August last year, Justice Thomas Bradley warned the single mother that while she was showing signs of rehabilitation if she slipped back into addiction, drugs could “put a very young child at mortal risk.”
Ianniello was granted bail and will be sentenced later this year.
