The once prestigious Double Bay plastic surgeon Dr Richard Paris Sackelariou has confessed to grooming underage girls by showering them with cash and compliments before luring some of them to a hotel room for intercourse.

The practitioner of 40 years appeared in Newcastle Local Court via video on Wednesday, November 6, and pleaded guilty 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.

Thirty charges were dropped including various offences of using a carriage service to possess and access child abuse material, disseminate child abuse material, using a carriage service to procure someone under 16 for sexual activity, cause a child between 14 and 18 to do an act of child prostitution and intentionally sexually touch a child under 16.

Those withdrawn also included eight counts of having sexual intercourse with a child between 10 and 14.

Police facts state he engaged with six young victims between September 2021 and October 2022 aged 13, 14 and 15.

According to court documents, Sackelariou came in contact with the young girls through social media platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram, iMessages, an adult dating website and sugar daddy websites.

Sackelariou’s matters will move to the District Court in December where a sentence date will be set.
