| A former petty officer in the navy who had a sexual relationship with a teenage girl in his care will spend the next year behind bars and another 18 months in weekend jail.
Justice Hilary Penfold on Wednesday sentenced the 39-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to five years.
After serving stints in full-time custody and weekend jail, the remainder of his sentence will be suspended on entering a three-year good-behaviour order.
''It is a tragedy for all concerned that [the defendant] allowed himself to take advantage of the complainant's need for a father figure by acquiring, not a daughter, but an immature sexual partner,'' the judge said in her sentencing remarks. Advertisement
The defendant has held communications roles with private contractors in the military sector and formerly served in the Royal Australian Navy.
