Jared Lance Ginsberg to be sentenced for possessing ice and GHB

The brother of an Aussie socialite and ex-boyfriend of actor Jodi Anasta has faced court for drug possession.

The brother of a prominent Sydney socialite and real estate agent will soon be sentenced for possessing GHB and crystal meth after court documents reveal he refused to co-operate with a police search.

Jared Lance Ginsberg, 41, is brothers with top eastern suburbs real estate agent Warren Ginsberg, who dated actor Jodi Anasta, neither of whom have engaged in any wrongdoing.

According to agreed facts tendered to court, police were patrolling the gaming room inside the Colombian Hotel in Darlinghurst about 2am on May 22, when they approached and spoke to Jared Ginsberg.

The facts state a glazed-eyed Ginsberg was observed to be “acting extremely nervous” and fidgeting.

When police asked for ID documents, he “became agitated” and asked police why they were talking to him, growing their suspicions.

Ginsberg eventually agreed to talk to police outside the hotel and showed them his ID.

“Police conducted relevant checks which revealed recent drug related matters,” the facts read.

“The accused stated he currently had no prohibited drugs (on him).”

The facts state Ginsberg was informed a “general search was to be conducted”.

“Police asked for co-operation from the accused to which he refused,” they stated.

Once the officers called in their supervisor to explain the situation, he complied and admitted there were drugs inside his bum bag.

“There’s a little bit of ice in there and some G,” the facts state he told police.

Inside the bum bag, police found one clear resealable bag with a crystal-like substance — later confirmed to be 1.3g of methamphetamine — and one glass bottle of clear liquid which was 6g of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric.

He declined an interview with police.

According to court records, Ginsberg pleaded guilty to two counts of drug possession on May 22.

On Monday, he appeared at Downing Centre Local Court, where his sentence was adjourned until July 3.

The Vaucluse resident’s brother, Warren Ginsberg, is a well-known fixture of Sydney’s eastern suburbs social circles.
