Former Bondi Rescue star Jesse Polock has pleaded guilty to drug charges months after quitting lifeguarding and the popular reality show.
The 30-year-old was caught in possession of cocaine and GBL among other drugs on December 7 last year.
He has been charged with two counts of supply prohibited drug and four counts of possession.
He did not appear before Waverley Local Court on Monday as his lawyer Chayana Miers entered pleas of not guilty to the most serious offences of supply.
However, she entered pleas of guilty on his behalf to all four possession charges.
Ms Miers told The Sunday Telegraph in March that Polock had quit his job as a professional lifeguard for Waverley Council at Bondi Beach “due to numerous suicides and difficult experiences he was exposed to in the role and the impact this had on him. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress several years ago”.
Polock grew up in Maroubra and featured in the hit 2007 documentary Bra Boys, about the Maroubra surf gang.
Polock was found in possession of cocaine, GBL (liquid ecstasy) and Ketamine on December 7 at Waverley by police, who also allege Polock supplied cocaine and GBL at the same location.
Polock, who resides in Alexandria, is a new father having celebrated the birth of his son with Instagram-model fiance Tullie Zimmerman last year.
Polock remains on bail and had his conditions relaxed on Monday by Magistrate Greg Grogin – which included his curfew and reporting to police being deleted.
A further drug supply charge was also dismissed in court.
His matter will be mentioned again in court on September 8 when a hearing date will be decided.
