The sentence proceedings for a Maitland masseur who sexually touched a number of female clients during appointments at his home studio have been delayed after his barrister withdrew, citing a conflict of interest.
Merv Fullford, now 65, was on Friday afternoon expected to face a sentence hearing in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court, including listening to victim impact statements from the many women he indecently assaulted or sexually touched between 2015 and 2020.
