Body Modifer found Not Guilty

*Our client approved this post.

On 26 May 2020 Howard Rollins was found Not Guilty of aiding and abetting a Central Coast based "body modifier" in the removal of the labia minora of an adult female complainant.

There was never any suggestion by the Prosecution that our client played a part in the physical procedure. The complainant consented to the procedure and had engaged in several other voluntary body modifications previously.

Our client had serious concerns about this "body modifier" and reported his conduct to the police and other agencies on numerous occasions prior to this procedure. Those agencies took no action at the time. Despite our clients efforts to blow the whistle and expose this behaviour, he was charged.

We are so pleased we were able to achieve this result for him after a very difficult few years. Lauren MacDougall of this office worked with Margaret Cunneen SC to achieve this outcome.
