Overview

• Timothy John Trautsch received a five-year, six-month sentence with a three-year non-parole period and Nathan Black was jailed for five years, nine months with a three-year, three-month non-parole term.
• Both pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm in company and misusing a prohibited weapon, and Black admitted to two counts of intentionally publishing protected information.
• Footage shown in court recorded the officers pepper-spraying the naked woman’s face and genitals, dragging her by the hair and repeatedly stomping on her during the January 2023 welfare check in Emu Plains.
• Media outlets successfully challenged NSW Police suppression orders to make the body-worn camera and CCTV recordings public after the victim’s death in unrelated circumstances.
• Acting NSW Police Commissioner David Hudson called the attack one of the worst breaches of police values in his four-decade career, and both men resigned from the force before formal removal.
