AVO Proceedings against Jan Hamilton-Dyers - 26 August 2008
Ms Hamilton-Dyers vigorously denies these allegations.
On 26 August 2008 a magistrate found that on the night of October 17th
2007, in a dark and isolated community hall, at 8:15pm, Ms
Hamilton-Dyers (the 60 year old widow of Ken Dyers), her sister (a 50
year old woman) and Ms Hamilton-Dyers’s personal assistant lured the
young woman to a remote hall in West Pymble – a hall the girl previously
worked 50 metres away from.
The magistrate found that Ms Hamilton-Dyers and her associates hired an
independent witness for the evening who witnessed their unlawful
action. The witness failed to identify them.
The girl claimed she was terrified when on entering the hall she heard
Ms Hamilton-Dyers say “we’ve been waiting for you”. Ms Hamilton-Dyers
was dressed as a man, with a black wig in a pony tail, a moustache and
goatee beard! The girl immediately recognised Ms Hamilton-Dyers from
viewing the back of her head, her wig and her moustache and from the
“bad” American accent she used.
Ms Hamilton-Dyers’s lawyer in final address submitted that there was no
objective evidence implicating Ms Hamilton-Dyers and the event had in fact
been staged by the Applicant herself in an effort to have charges
brought by police against Ms Hamilton-Dyers.
Ms Hamilton-Dyers's lawyer argued that the girl was attempting to stop the lecture "Guilty Until Proven Innocent".
