IN a tribute to children Pixie and Hunter, Roxy Jacenko has broken her silence after husband Oliver Curtis was given a two-year fixed sentence last week for one count of conspiracy to commit insider trading.

The publicity queen uploaded an Instagram photo of the two toddlers and herself, captioning it “The bravest, most caring two people I know. @huntercurtis @pixiecurtis — proud of what wonderful and kind little people you are”.

The 36-year-old former Celebrity Apprentice contestant was inundated with encouraging comments from her followers.

“Must take after their mum,” wrote one, while another commented “I haven’t stopped thinking about you all weekend. Enjoy your special time with the kids!”

Despite intense media interest around Curtis’ crime, which he committed when he was 21, Jacenko has yet to speak to any outlets about the ordeal. Indeed, the keen Instagrammer was uncharacteristically silent across social media in the lead-up to Friday’s verdict which saw Curtis jailed for a year in Sydney’s Silverwater prison.

In sentencing Curtis, Justice Lucy McCallum said that while she was sympathetic to the father-of-two’s situation, incarceration was the only effective means to deter those who set out to commit white-collar crimes such as insider trading.

“The threat of being sent to jail, provided it is perceived as a real threat and not one judges will hesit­ate to enforce, is likely to ­operate as a powerful deterrent to men and women of business.”
