ABC reported the story thusly:
“The 28-year-old woman is charged with committing acts of indecency against two of her teenage employees”
Magistrate Robert Cook agreed the offences were serious, noting the police evidence.
“She is aware it’s unlawful but cannot help herself,” he said.
“She doesn’t have an ability to control her compulsions.”
The magistrate said the prosecution’s case appeared to be strong and he was unsure whether any bail conditions could regulate her behaviour.
The woman was remanded in custody until next month, when the case returns to court.
