A former Dancing With the Stars contestant will soon learn whether he will be jailed after a court threw out his appeal over his conviction for sexually touching a woman during a drunken dance session and climbing into her bed naked.
A TV dance star will have to wait months to learn whether he will be jailed for sexually touching a woman during a drunken night at a Sydney dance studio.
Shipley, best known for his appearance on season three of Dancing with the Stars, was last year sentenced to a maximum of a year in prison after he was convicted by Magistrate Julia Virgo.But that bid to overturn his conviction was on Thursday dismissed by Judge Graham Turnbull. That appeal over the severity of his sentence will now be heard in May, though Judge Turnbull noted he had yet to see any expressions of contrition or remorse from Shipley.
The court heard that during the evening Shipley was drinking from an open bottle of vodka and told the woman “you are absolutely gorgeous”. Judge Turnbull noted there were inconsistencies in her evidence including the “troubling” finding that she sent two Snapchat messages to a friend as he climbed into her bed.
