The former TV host Andrew O’Keefe has avoided jail despite being found guilty of “violent and degrading” domestic attacks. The broadcaster was hit with three sets of charges over multiple incidents in 2021, including assault causing actual bodily harm, breaching a domestic violence order and possession of the synthetic stimulant drug mephedrone. O’Keefe denied the charges. Magistrate Alison Viney on Wednesday found O’Keefe’s actions in kicking, spitting, scratching and otherwise assaulting a woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, deserved condemnation. “Your actions were violent and degrading,” she told Sydney’s Downing Centre local court while describing O’Keefe’s September 2021 assault on the woman during an argument.
