Marcus Ulrick in Macksville court charged with breaching child protection register obligations

A Mid-North Coast DJ on the child protection register for life has allegedly breached reporting conditions - creating social media and email accounts in fake names and having prohibited weapons.

The matter was heard in Macksville Local Court.

A Mid-North Coast DJ on the child protection register for life has allegedly breached reporting conditions - creating social media and email accounts in fake names and having prohibited weapons including a baton.

Marcus Kyle Ulrick, from Macksville, is well known in the Coffs Harbour region through his DJ business and community work, it was heard in court on Thursday.

The 39-year-old has been placed on the NSW Child Protection Register for life court, documents reveal.

Ulrick has been charged with four counts of failing to comply with the reporting obligations associated with being on the register.

These charges relate to a range of alleged behaviour including the creation of an Instagram account in the name of Codyfreeman387; a Snapchat profile of Luke242324 and an email address [e-mail].

Marcus Ulrick from Macksville is charged with breaching reporting conditions of being on the child protection register and weapons offences.

He is also facing two weapons charges with police alleging he had an extendible baton and five paintball marker/gel blaster weapons.

The offending is alleged to have taken place between August 3 last year and December 12 this year - the date he was arrested and taken into custody.

He has not entered a plea to any of the seven charges and made an attempt to be released on bail following his arrest but this was denied.

Ulrick returned to Macksville court on Thursday, appearing by videolink from jail, where his lawyer presented additional information to the court, including medical proof that Ulrick’s mother had only days to live and that he should be released on bail to care for her.

Ulrick’s partner offered a $50,000 bail surety and his stepfather would put up a deed to his house to help guarantee he complies with any bail conditions, his lawyer told the court.

Daily reporting was also suggested by Ulrick’s lawyer.

Police prosecutor Sgt David Sams opposed bail saying Ulrick’s “antecedents don’t do him any favours” and that after being on the register for a “long period of time” he would be aware of his obligations.

Ulrick’s lawyer said he accepted there was “some strength to the case” but there would be significant delays with weapons reports and further analysis of Ulrick’s phone yet to be carried out.

Magistrate Julia Virgo told the court Ulrick had served previous terms of imprisonment for related offences and said it was clear he created social media accounts in names other than his own for “nefarious” reasons, but that further investigation was needed to determine who he had made contact with via these accounts.

She told the court there was the possibility of further charges arising once Ulrick’s phone had been fully analysed.

Bail was denied and the case adjourned to Coffs Harbour court on January 14 next year.
