A court has upheld Andrew O'Keefe's domestic violence convictions, but overturned others.
Andrew O'Keefe has failed to convince a court that a woman lied about being assaulted by him, with a judge finding the former game show host had a tendency of spitting at her during arguments.
However, the judge overturned other charges for drug possession after finding it could not be proven items found in a lock box in O'Keefe's apartment belonged to him.The troubled former Seven Network host was convicted in January of three counts of domestic violence-related assault, twice contravening an AVO against him, and two charges for possessing a prohibited drug.
During an assault in September 2021, O'Keefe was found to have pushed the woman into a doorway, punched her with the heel of the hand and forced her to the ground, before kicking her in the thigh and using his nails to scratch her chest.However, O'Keefe's barrister Phillip Boulten SC said the woman's claim she scratched her hand on a hinge after being pushed through the doorway was not supported by physical evidence.
