Charge lawyer for identity reveal

A SOLICITOR has been charged for allegedly publishing details of a sexual assault complainant.

Police will allege in court the 31-year-old solicitor is a close associate of a high-profile organised crime family from Sydney’s south-west, and when representing a 24-year-old man charged with sexual assault, shared sensitive information about the case with an unrelated third party. That information included the identity of the sexual assault complainant.
