A western Sydney council brothel inspector has been jailed for at least 15 months for corruption.
Wade Fryar, 37, pleaded guilty to five counts of corruption when he was the leader of Parramatta Council unit, which was set up to crack down on illegal brothels.
Between 2004 and 2007 he accepted bribes that included cash, massage sexual services and aftershave.
The District Court has heard he said to one brothel operator: “Christmas is around the corner and it would be lovely to get a present.”
In sentencing him to two and a half years in jail with a non-parole period of 15 months, Judge Charteris said his behaviour had a serious effect on the community’s confidence in government officials.
