ONCE lauded for his huge contribution to charity, Wagga man Bob Drummond yesterday was sent to jail for failing to declare sex offences to a TAFE college where he was employed as a part-time teacher and applying for a full-time job.Drummond, 58, of Big Springs, was sentenced in Wagga Local Court after earlier pleading guilty to two counts of apply/remain in child-related employment and one count of making a false statement.Magistrate Anthony Murray sentenced Drummond to 12 months in prison.Mr Murray found special circumstances in Drummond's age and need for rehabilitation to reduce the standard non-parole period to four months.In December, 2007, Drummond was placed on good behaviour bonds after pleading guilty to one count each of inciting a person 16 years or over to commit an act of indecency and assault with an act of indecency.At the time, the former ambulance officer was part-time senior first-aid teacher at TAFE NSW Riverina Institute Wagga campus. Under Section 33 of the Commission for Children and Young People Act, Drummond was required to declare his sex offences to the institute.Not only did he fail to make the declaration, he continued in his job for nearly another two years before applying for a full-time job as occupational health and safety teacher.On the job application form, Drummond falsely declared he was not a sex offender.The ruse was discovered when TAFE conducted a criminal background check.Drummond's solicitor, Peter Reddy, put to the court that Drummond had made a significant contribution to the community, including being foundation member of an emergency services ball committee, foundation member of the National Horse Festival Committee, captain of a bushfire brigade, president of the local branch of the ambulance union and involvement in fundraising for equipment for Wagga Base Hospital.He said as a result of publicity surrounding Drummond's offences his client had suffered public humiliation and had been ostracised.Far from seeing that as a mitigating factor, Mr Murray described it as a wonderful thing, saying if people who were tempted to engage in similar behaviour knew their name would be plastered all over the media they might think twice.Mr Murray acknowledged Drummond's significant contribution to the community, but rejected a character reference from a cleric who praised Drummond's "Christian values".The magistrate said Drummond's actions were "the antithesis of what a true Christian is".Mr Murray read aloud part of a pre-sentence report in which a Probation and Parole Service officer said Drummond had no real insight into his offending, which also includes three child pornography convictions last March .Quoting the report, Mr Murray said: "Mr Drummond appears not to fully comprehend the serious nature of his criminogenic behaviour. He minimises his actions ... it was up to them (TAFE) to do any required check, not accepting that he is a prohibited person as he does not perceive his behaviour to be deviant in nature."Mr Murray noted that Drummond had revealed his sex offences to another employer but not to TAFE.Drummond's 2007 good behaviour bonds were also revoked yesterday because of the latest convictions and he was given fresh three-year good behaviour bonds effective yesterday.
