Former ACT Party president Tim Jago will appeal his sexual abuse convictions in June, arguing a miscarriage of justice due to an unbalanced jury summing-up and unreasonable verdicts.
Convicted of eight indecent assault charges involving two teenage boys in the 1990s, Jago is currently serving a 2.5-year prison sentence.
He claims home detention was the appropriate penalty and continues to deny guilt.
Survivors, including Paul Oliver, say the appeal prolongs their trauma, calling it a “vanity project” and criticising the imbalance in legal resources between Jago and his victims.
“It seems like a lot of time wasting and expense for Jago’s own vanity project,” victim Paul Oliver told state-funded media.
“Mr Jago wasn’t eligible for home detention because he was still insisting his innocence. That’s why the prison sentence. He wasn’t afforded sentence reductions.”
Any ‘Political Figure’ that does not abide by the Zio-Globalist Doctrine are always targeted and accused, with the most effective tool of retaliation being…’sexual abuse’..!
