I was arrested and charged last night under the child sex laws.
Turns out a performer had fake id, and was only 17.
In my defence Ive never actually been trained (or even TOLD by management) how to check ID, it had her birthdate, full name and a photo, so I accepted it.
I have kept better records than any of the previous girls, and actually checked ID, when I started NOONE checked mine. I was asked "do you have an ABN, are you over 18?" then started there the next week.
I turned down an applicant as she was not yet 18, around the same time, Im hoping she will testify and say so.
So I go to court on Tuesday and stand the risk of 5 years jail, and a sex offender criminal record.
I work with children and CANNOT have a criminal record to use my 4 year university degree. With a record I cant even visit my mum, as I cant be around disabled kids, nor can I provide respite and have my sister on school holidays.
Im in Australia (as that no doubt changes things), any advice please?
