Hey Dad! actor and child sexual abuser Robert Hughes set for deportation to UK
The disgraced Hey Dad! actor and convicted child sexual offender Robert Hughes has been released from Sydney’s Long Bay jail and will be deported to the UK.
Hughes renounced his Australian citizenship in 2020, becoming a non-lawful citizen who must be deported to the UK upon his release. His parole conditions mean he will have to report to British authorities within three days of his arrival.During the parole hearing the SPA said it had been satisfied that after eight years behind bars Hughes’ release was in the interests of the safety of the community.
Hughes was jailed in 2014 for 10 years and nine months, with a non-parole period of six years, which expired in April 2020. The SPA acknowledged the “profound and deleterious effects on the victims ... continue to this day and will probably be lifelong consequences”. Hughes and his wife had given undertakings that once back in the community he would seek treatment with a clinical psychologist specialising in convicted sex offenders who deny their crimes. This would assist with his reintegration and reduce his risk of reoffending.Sign up to receive an email with the top stories from Guardian Australia every morning
