Reality TV star hit with new charges after allegedly selling coke to cop

A reality TV star has been hit with fresh charges after she allegedly sold a massive quantity of cocaine to an undercover police officer.

A former reality TV contestant has been hit with fresh charges after she allegedly sold a massive quantity of cocaine to an undercover police officer while working for an international drug ring.

Police claim Marjorie Griffiths was a major player in a criminal network that supplied large quantities of drugs and laundered the illicit earnings through an international syndicate.

Just months after her stint on The Bachelor aired last year, police allege she sold 1kg of cocaine to an undercover police officer and 1kg of MDMA to an unknown person.

The 28-year-old is also accused of knowingly dealing with more than $814,000 that she knew was the proceeds of a crime.

She was woken by heavily armed specialist police officers and arrested during a dawn raid on her home in Umina Beach, on the NSW Central Coast, on October 10.

The former reality TV contestant was initially charged with nine offences related to her drug and money laundering activities.

However, court documents reveal police have laid an additional two charges against her in relation to the alleged supply of 1kg of cocaine and 1kg of MDMA last year.

Ms Griffiths has been charged with two additional counts of supplying a commercial quantity of an illegal drug over the alleged deals in March and June respectively.

She is now facing nine charges, including failing to give police access to her phones and four counts of knowingly dealing with the proceeds of a crime.

On Thursday, her lawyer told the court there had been “a delay with funding” the former reality TV contestant’s defence against the charges.

A public defender had been appointed to handle Ms Griffiths’ matter but had not yet started work, she explained.

Magistrate Jennifer Price adjourned the matter until September to allow the parties to hold a case conference.

She noted Ms Griffiths should enter pleas to the charges when she returns to court.

The 28-year-old spent nearly two months behind bars on remand before she was released on bail by the NSW Supreme Court in December last year under strict conditions.

The court ordered her to wear an electronic monitoring device, comply with a strict curfew, and abstain from drugs and alcohol.

Ms Griffiths is also forbidden from possessing an internet capable device and must have only one phone in her possession at any time.

Prior to her arrest, the 28-year-old appeared on season 10 of the hit reality TV series, The Bachelor.

She was paired with Thomas Malucelli, a 35-year-old restaurant manager, but left the show after 12 weeks.
