Lincoln Frost: Northern Beaches finance broker convicted of domestic assault

His business “lost the lot” in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic but it’s his conviction for a shameful assault on his wife that a court heard could potentially stop this finance broker from working in the industry again.

Lincoln Frost has been convicted of assaulting his wife in March.

A finance broker who violently attacked his wife after a boozy night at a local watering hole has failed to wipe the criminal conviction against his name.

Lincoln Frost, listed as the managing director of Barangaroo-based finance broker firm LEVR, appealed the severity of his sentence for violent domestic assault against his wife inside his Manly Vale home.

Frost is listed as the managing director of finance business LEVR.

The court heard the 37-year-old had “lost the lot” during the global coronavirus pandemic, with the business – described as a one-stop shop for finance, property and foreign exchange – collapsing.

His lawyer said Frost had been receiving help for alcohol-related issues in the year leading up to the violence, but relapsed on March 5.

Man tried to claim rape was case of ‘miscommunication’

The father was drinking heavily at home before heading out to a nearby watering hole. About 11pm he returned home, banging on the door and yelling to be let in.

When his wife asked Frost to be quiet as people were sleeping the intoxicated man got angry, leading to what was described as “ten seconds of madness”.

The 37-year-old followed his wife into the bedroom and grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her against the wall. After a few seconds, he shoved her away.

The 37-year-old attacked his wife after drinking heavily.

Frost was convicted of the domestic violence assault in Manly Local Court and placed on a 12-month community correction order.

His lawyer argued the sentence was too harsh as it stops his client from continuing his work in the finance industry.

Judge Christopher O’Brien said domestic violence was a blight on the community and dismissed the appeal.

“It is a very typical episode of domestic violence,” he said. “A male intoxicated assaulting his partner, because he can.

“If there are consequences as a result of the offender’s conduct, there are consequences he has brought on himself.”
