A WA District Court judge has apologised to a 20-year-old Kalgoorlie man with severe cognitive impairment who spent 451 days in custody — despite having been granted bail — after indecently assaulting a teenage girl.
The Kalgoorlie District Court on Monday heard the man, who the ABC chose not to name, was diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), suffered from schizophrenia and had a history of solvent abuse.
