The once prestigious Double Bay plastic surgeon and now accused sex predator, Dr Richard Paris Sackelariou, will face his young victims during a day-long sentence court hearing in May next year.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the 68-year-old will be brought before Newcastle District Court in person to hear up to six victim impact statements from young girls he has admitted to grooming by showering them with cash and compliments before luring some of them to a hotel room for sex.
The incidents are alleged to have taken place between September 2021 and October 2022.
Sackelariou pleaded guilty last month to paying multiple young girls thousands of dollars to perform sexual acts on him in various locations across Sydney, in Newcastle and Queensland.
Sackelariou declared his guilt to ten charges: using a carriage service to procure someone under the age of 16 for sexual activity, six counts of cause child between 14 and 18 to do an act of child prostitution, possession of child abuse material, cause a child 14 and over to make child abuse material and possession or control of child abuse material using a carriage service.
Prosecutors withdrew a further 30 charges.
The court heard Sackelariou remains in custody on remand and will be transported from jail to attend sentencing proceedings in person in May next year.
