Man pleads guilty over footage of women getting undressed at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital sleep clinic
A man who worked in a sleep clinic at a major Perth hospital has pleaded guilty to a dozen charges relating to footage of women getting undressed. Police alleged Stuart James King, who worked in IT at the clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, kept the footage on his personal computer. The clients knew they were to be filmed as part of their analysis and treatment for sleep disorders, but the footage was not intended for anyone's personal use. The footage, which showed the women getting undressed and dressed, was recorded in 2019 and 2020. Police charged King with more than two dozen counts of unlawful use of a computer earlier this year, after executing a search warrant at his home. Appearing in Perth Magistrates Court via video link from prison, the 51-year-old pleaded guilty to 12 charges but the remaining charges were dropped. He is scheduled to appear in court again in September for a sentencing hearing. The man worked in IT at the hospital and was not a clinician. After the charges came to light, North Metropolitan Health Service said "immediate action was taken" as soon as it was informed of the matter and he was no longer employed.

Driver injured and facing charges over alleged high-speed chase and three-car crash on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula
A driver is seriously injured in hospital — and likely facing charges once police speak with him — after an alleged high-speed chase and three-car crash on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula. Police said a white Holden Commodore sedan was detected at 146km/h in a 60km/h zone on Port Elliot Rd in the beachside town of Middleton, between Victor Harbor and Goolwa, about 9pm on Wednesday. Another police patrol then spotted the same car doing a U-turn in Goolwa and turned on their lights and sirens, directing the driver to stop. However, police say the driver did not stop and officers gave chase, terminating the pursuit when the Commodore entered a 100km/h zone on Port Elliot Rd heading back toward Middleton. Soon after police discovered a three-car crash involving the same Commodore at the intersection of Port Elliot Rd and Boettcher Rd, Middleton. A 41-year-old man, allegedly the driver of the Commodore, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. A 65-year-old Goolwa South woman was also injured when her Land Rover rolled and was taken to hospital for treatment. The third driver, a 35-year-old Goolwa North man whose vehicle was clipped, was not injured. All three vehicles were towed away and debris cleared before the road could reopen. Investigations into the crash are continuing and police said the Commodore driver was expected to be charged with multiple driving offences.
