A
former Nowra police sergeant who worked as a teacher in the ACT for a
year in 2016 has been jailed for perjury in relation to a 2013 assault.
Nigel
Alfred Davey, 47, was given a 12-month prison sentence with a
non-parole period of seven months for making a false statement in
relation to his arrest of Regan Sutton in Nowra in June 2013.
Davey
appeared in Queanbeyan Local Court for sentencing and also received a
14-month good behaviour bond for the assault of Mr Sutton.
Davey had been on patrol in Nowra when he tasered an unarmed Mr Sutton from the driver's seat of his police car.
He later lied about the incident under oath, saying Mr Sutton had been armed with a knife and tried to attack him.
Court documents showed that Davey worked as a teacher in the ACT from February to December of 2016.
A young person has been tasered and excessively so.
Magistrate Michael Antrum
The
ACT government would not confirm at which school Davey had been
employed or how he was able to gain employment within the education
directorate despite being dismissed from the NSW Police for misconduct.
The
prosecution's court submissions showed Davey was dismissed from the
police force in 2015 for another instance of inappropriately using a
Taser in January 2014.
Davey
had criminal charges of common assault and perjury brought against him
on September 29, 2016 and he first appeared in court on November 14,
2016.
The documents showed Davey continued teaching until December 2016 despite the charges.
The
ACT government said in a statement any member of staff that has regular
contact with students must hold a current Working with Vulnerable
People card.
The
statement said the government was unable to provide an individual's
employment details or the outcome of a WWVP application due to “privacy
considerations”.

Davey's
defence lawyer made an application for the charges to be dismissed
under section 32 of the Mental Health (Forensic Provisions) Act.
He
told the court Davey had been diagnosed by a mental health professional
as suffering PTSD, substance abuse and a depressive disorder at the
time of the offences.
“It is not fair to punish a mentally ill person for their mental illness,” the defence lawyer said.
It was an abuse of the office of police officer. He [Davey] used his power irresponsibly and caused great pain and distress to the young person.
Magistrate Michael Antrum
The prosecutor said there were flaws in Davey's application.
“The [psychiatric] report is based on entirely self reporting by someone charged with perjury,” she said.
Magistrate
Michael Antrum dismissed the application due to the seriousness of the
offences which he said tipped the balance in favour of pursuing a
criminal conviction.
“A young person has been tasered and excessively so,” Magistrate Antrum said.
“It was an abuse of the office of police officer.
“He used his power irresponsibly and caused great pain and distress to the young person.”
Davey
sat with his eyes closed and head pressed into his hands as Magistrate
Antrum read out his verdict before being taken to the cells.
He will be eligible for release in November.

It just never ends does it, They lie at the drop of a Hat, I got arrested for asking a question about a list of Paedophile judges, the Sheriff lied her fat ass off, in regards to my arrest, 2 days later she was transferred ,the cops sent her a summons to appear , she failed to appear, and the judge said no problem? The second fat ass lady who made the complaint left the courthouse that week, she was a blatant liar , the third another sheriff, also a liar left the job a couple of months later .I cross examined them all and got off. Because I was innocent and simply asked a question.
ReplyDeleteI was also assaulted by a cop , who lied his lying ass off in a statement, he threw me into a bench seat and jammed his elbow under my neck , I also got assaulted by another sheriff just for asking him a question, which he resented , though he grabbed me and said I was under arrest I told him don't think so pal and broke free , to anyone who didn't know , they would think i am the bad guy , to anyone who knows and who is awake knows, that this is normal protocol for our treasonous and satanic unlawful and unconstitutional government, for anyone who dares to question their authority.
Clearly this country is brainwashed , dumbed down and mind-controlled , but there is still a lot of people who are simply cowards , willing to let anyone else take a hit and when its safe then they will join in > Australians disgust me these days , and so does our Zionist Israeli Government .Justice is coming beware bent judges cops paedophiles and traitors we are coming for you , we don't forgive and we don't forget , we want lawful justice , and that means jail for you lot .
