Overview

• Ella Clements, 24, was charged at Manly Police Station with three counts of aggravated sexual intercourse with a child and one count of intentionally sexually touching a child.
• The alleged victim is a 15-year-old student at St Augustine’s College in Brookvale; police say Clements was arrested on September 16 and taken to hospital for assessment.
• A magistrate initially granted strict bail conditions including $100,000 security, no contact with staff or students, residence with her parents in the Northern Rivers, a 9pm–5am curfew, weekly reporting, and no social media use.
• A police prosecutor obtained a stay of that decision, keeping Clements in custody until a Supreme Court detention bid is heard or until 4pm Thursday, whichever occurs first.
• St Augustine’s terminated her employment and an interim apprehended violence order was issued to protect the student; Clements has not entered pleas.
