Two men hired to carry out a stranger’s sexual fantasy of being tied up while clad in his underpants went to the wrong rural NSW address with machetes, but politely left after realising their mistake.
One of the Sydney men, Terrence Leroy, has now been found not guilty in the NSW district court of entering the home in July 2019 intending to intimidate while armed with an offensive weapon.
Describing the facts of the case as unusual, judge Sean Grant said the crown had not excluded the reasonable possibility that Leroy entered the house as part of a lawful plan to carry out a sexual fantasy.
“They carried the machetes either as a prop or something to use in that fantasy,” the judge said in his published reasons for the acquittal earlier this month.
