The 73-year-old was granted parole earlier this month by the NSW State Parole Authority, which determined he be released no later than Tuesday.
His parole conditions mean he will have to report to British authorities within three days of his arrival. Hughes, who starred as Martin Kelly in the hit TV comedy from 1987 to 1994, was previously rejected twice by the SPA. A jury had found him guilty of 10 charges relating to sexual and indecent acts perpetrated on four young girls in the 1980s and 1990s.The victims included his former on-screen daughter Sarah Monahan, who attended his third parole hearing.“He still thinks he hasn’t done anything.”
