Ex-figure skater turned Cheetahs Club Lewisham dancer Shania Sime fronted Burwood Local Court on Friday May 2, 2025 charged with one count of DV-related stalking/intimidating.

A former junior figure skating champion turned exotic dancer accused of plastering more than 30 insulting posters doxxing a man she dated across Newtown after he broke up with her has had her charges dismissed on mental health grounds.

Shania Sime, 25, appeared at Burwood Local Court on Friday charged with one count of intimidation over the bizarre alleged incident.

Sime previously pleaded not guilty to the charge.

While working as a dancer for the Cheetahs Club Lewisham in September last year, Sime met an attendee and asked him out on a date, documents tendered in court revealed.

The pair exchanged social media details and went on three dates in the following days.

Almost a month later, the man called Sime and called off the relationship saying he “no longer wanted to see her in an intimate capacity”, the documents stated.

However, a distressed Sime did not accept the break-up.

Despite the man blocking her on Instagram, Sime allegedly continued to call and message the man over the following week before eventually conceding the relationship was finished and asking him to unblock her.

Once unblocked, Sime allegedly sent 10 messages over three weeks asking the man to go on a date with her, with no reply.

Court documents allege the man finally told Sime he was “busy”, blocking her again when she sent a long message attacking him.

A few days later, Sime allegedly reached out to one of the man’s friends asking them if he had been back to the Cheetahs Club since their break-up, with the man reporting he felt “violated” by Sime’s efforts to track his movements.

That same day, Sime allegedly texted the man saying she believed they had a “special connection”.

Despite asking her to stop contacting him, Sime allegedly continued to message the man until he blocked her number again.

It is further alleged incident, Sime contacted the man’s brother and sister-in-law claiming he had given her a sexually transmitted infection.

“These messages made (him) feel humiliated, distressed and that his privacy had been breached,” court documents state.

After contacting 1800 RESPECT, the man briefly unblocked Sime to send her one final text message about how her alleged behaviour had impacted his mental health, to stop contacting him, and that he was considering making a police report.

But on December 24 last year, after returning home from the gym, the man found a poster stuck on the front glass of his apartment complex, court documents revealed.

The poster detailed his full name, address, social media accounts and had further text attacking his character.

The man reported the incident to police, but on Christmas Day, he noticed several identical posters plastered on telegraph poles throughout Newtown.

Sime was arrested the same day after police attended a property in Cobbitty, and was later alleged to have admitted during a police interview to placing the posters around Newtown and on the man’s front door.

On Friday at Burwood Local Court, Magistrate Jennifer Price dismissed the charge under the Mental Health Act.

Sime was discharged into the care of a psychologist to attend all appointments, comply with any medical testing and take any medications prescribed.

Sime was also hit with an apprehended domestic violence order preventing her from committing any offence against the man or having any contact with him except through a lawyer.
