## Resource

Former AFL star Nick Stevens, who played over 200 games for Carlton and Port Adelaide before retiring in 2009, has been sentenced to nine months in jail after being found guilty of twelve counts of fraud and one count of using a fake document. He scammed retirees and families desperate to build pools for their grandchildren, taking cash without proper licenses, permits, or insurance — leaving some with unsafe pools and others with nothing at all. The judge emphasized the deep community trust he betrayed, while Stevens has maintained his innocence throughout the lengthy trial. His punishment includes a two-year community corrections order, a sobering outcome for victims who just wanted to upgrade their homes.
