THE EX-WIFE of a man convicted of encouraging another man to sexually touch a child has asked to read a victim impact statement despite not being a direct victim of his crimes, in what could set a precedent for who can be heard in criminal cases.
In Newcastle District Court on Tuesday, Judge Roy Ellis was set to sentence Danny Glenn Waters for his involvement in an explicit online chat about child sexual abuse on an LGBTQI+ dating app in January, 2020, when he was asked to consider a statement from the man's ex-wife.
