Olympic cyclist Rohan Dennis is not being held responsible for the death of his wife, fellow Olympian Melissa Hoskins, but has pleaded guilty to a charge that carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. Dennis, 34, appeared in Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday to answer charges of dangerous driving causing death and an aggravated charge of driving without due care.
” Wickens told Dennis he drove when his wife was on or near his vehicle, knowing it was likely to cause harm or recklessly indifferent to whether harm was caused. It was an aggravated offence because they were in a relationship. It carries a maximum sentence of seven years in jail and a five-year loss of driver’s licence. Dennis, who pleaded guilty to the charge, was released on continuing bail and committed to the District Court for sentencing on January 24.
