A convicted child sex offender tried to douse a photographer in deodorant during a bizarre incident outside a Sydney court.
Glen Hill, 36, was sentenced in Waverley Local Court on Wednesday for failing to report a new Instagram account to police and possessing a set of plastic knuckle dusters on his key chain which he pleaded guilty to.
Hill was convicted and sentenced to a community correction order for 18 months, for the two offences, before leaving the courthouse with a suit jacket pulled over his head to avoid media attention.
Bizarrely, he took aim at a nearby photographer and tried to douse her with a can of Lynx deodorant before hopping into a waiting vehicle, alongside a supporter.
Hill has been on the Child Protection Register since 2012 and must report any new online accounts to police as part of his obligations.
Hill was charged with fail to comply with reporting obligations and possess a prohibited weapon after police visited his Kingsford home last July.
The agreed facts stated he gave police access to his mobile phone and computer during the routine visit.
That led to police discovering an Instagram account “ebaymadhouse” which had not previously been reported.
“The breach relates to the fact the account was not disclosed in accordance with the offender’s requirements under the (child protection) register,” the agreed facts read.
The Instagram page was used to sell particular items, such as DVDs, and also included memes.
The agreed facts stated there was no evidence the account was used to contact any persons under 18.
Magistrate Ross Hudson warned Hill he must be proactive in reporting any online accounts to police in future as part of his obligations.
A court heard last year that Hill’s Extensive Supervision Order relating to a previous child sex offence had expired.
