An OnlyFans star is “missing in action”, according to her lawyer after coming clean on a gun found in a backpack during a police raid.

Alice Mabel Weekes – who was making as much as $12,000 per month posting explicit videos and photos on OnlyFans – was given a final chance to show up to court or a warrant would be issued.

Weekes, 28, was due to face court on Friday for a sentencing submissions date to be set but her counsel, Sean Nottle told the court she was regrettably “missing in action”.

“I haven’t been able to rouse Ms Weekes on any of my contact numbers for a couple of days,” he said.

The court heard the matter had resolved prior to trial, with Weekes pleading guilty to possessing a firearm without a licence and possessing an unregistered firearm. A drug trafficking charge was dropped.

Ms Weekes’ co-accused, Fitzroy man Leonard Robert Richard Wilkins, 38, pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and possessing a firearm without a licence.

The serious charges of false imprisonment, theft, arson and discharging a firearm to injure, annoy or frighten a person were dropped against the duo after a court previously heard the alleged victim, 31-year-old Corey James McGhee, refused to co-operate with police and supply a statement.

Police previously alleged Mr McGhee had been tied up, bundled into the boot of a car, driven out to remote Port Gawler, shot in the back and had his car set on fire.

During Wilkins’ sentencing in February, the District Court heard police searched a premises on May 29, 2022.

They found three plastic resealable bags containing methamphetamine on the coffee table, $4500 and a sawn-off .22 calibre rifle inside a backpack on the couch.

An attached magazine contained three rounds of ammunition.

“Evidence retrieved from your telephone revealed that you were involved in ongoing drug trafficking and possession of firearms,” Judge Paul Muscat said.

The court heard Wilkins was released on bail in December 2022.

On February 21, 2023 the police attended the Arkaba Hotel where they found Wilkins in the gaming room and searched his bag.

They discovered two quantities of methamphetamine with a combined weight of 6.19g, numerous drug deal bags, $1,236 and a set of digital scales.

Wilkins told police he was a drug addict and denied selling the drugs.

However, an analysis of his phone revealed evidence Wilkins was again selling methamphetamine.

The court heard Wilkins relapsed back into drug use due to boredom during the Covid pandemic after he lost his job as a cook.

“Money that you had saved from working soon disappeared and you took to selling drugs to enable your continued use of drugs and also to have sufficient money to exist,” Judge Muscat said.

Wilkins was sentenced to five years and six months jail, with a non-parole period of three years.

The sentence was backdated to July 31, 2022.

On Friday, Judge Geraldine Davison adjourned Weekes’ charges until Friday and said if she didn’t attend she’d issue a warrant for her arrest.
