Premium Content Subscriber only A DAD who indecently assaulted his wife's younger brother in a wardrobe during a game of hide and seek was not reported to authorities until sexually assaulting the youth several years later. The offender was charged when the second assault was reported to police. He will not spend any time in jail after a judge found exceptional circumstances did exist, when he faced Ipswich District Court for sentence. This included his efforts at rehabilitation and professional counselling. The 37-year-old man pleaded guilty to indecently treating a child under 12 when under care in 2012 or 2013; and sexual assault of a youth aged 16 or 17 in either 2016 or 2017 (domestic violence offence).
