He was due to be sentenced today (July 3), but Australian outlet The Age reports

that it will take six weeks to file out a pre-sentencing report due to Pledger’s complex needs.

The actor’s defence lawyer, Jasper MacCuspie, previously told the court that

his mental health has been on the decline for years, and that he had been unable to get support due to issues with the health system.

Now, MacCuspie has stated that Pledger’s mental health has stabilised to the point where the staff at a Correctional Centre found that he did not need involuntary treatment.

The lawyer requested that Pledger live at home with his father for 90 days. While the police objected, magistrate Justin Foster agreed, on the conditions that he complies with a daily curfew from 11pm to 6am and reports to the police once a week.

Foster said: “I can’t have him locked up forever. I do propose to grant bail…

“There are obviously punitive and rehabilitative elements to any sentencing exercise. This is part of … that integration.”

When his sentencing does take place, it has been reported that he will face up to six months in prison.
