Australian actor Orpheus Pledger is expected to launch an appeal after he was jailed for attacking a woman during a drug-induced crisis. The former Home and Away star who led police on a three-day manhunt is expected to make the move after being sentenced over an “unacceptable” attack. Pledger, 31, returned to the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday wearing a black hoodie and was sentenced to seven months of imprisonment by Magistrate Justin Foster.
“This court does not and can not allow the use of drugs to explain violence against women ,” Foster said. “The action of stomping ..
. was unacceptable in any way shape or form.”.
