Disgraced Hey Dad! actor and convicted child sex offender Robert Hughes has been released from Sydney's Long Bay jail and will be deported to the United Kingdom.
The 73-year-old was granted parole earlier this month by the NSW State Parole Authority, which determined he be released no later than Tuesday.
He was released under the cover of darkness as the clock ticked over and into the custody of Australian Border Force officers, who are expected to ensure he is flown straight out of the country.
