The 14-year-old victim’s mother told the Immigration and Protection Tribunal her son now suffers long-term trauma and mental health problems. He takes anti-psychotic medication, sleeping pills and antidepressants.

She asked that his attacker be deported.

The man, who has not been named, had been doing Uber work while he trained to become a real estate agent.

He pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting the boy in his car.

The 34-year-old was sentenced to 12 months’ intensive supervision and two months’ community detention.

He got his real estate agent licence and a job in the industry last year.
