Overview
- Sewell won release from the Supreme Court of Victoria, with bail conditions to be finalised and plans to live in a share house with family and friends.
- He faces more than 20 charges linked to the August attack at Camp Sovereignty, as prosecutors allege he led a group of about 30 men into the site.
- Prosecutors detailed multiple injuries to victims, alleged punching and kicking by Sewell, and the use of poles and thrown objects during the incident.
- Defence argued trial timing could stretch to two years and sought parity with 14 co‑accused already on bail, while the judge found unacceptable risk had not been established.
- Sewell’s fiancée offered a $20,000 surety, he has a job offer as a roof plumber’s assistant, and he remains on an 18‑month community corrections order for a separate intimidation conviction, with further court dates set for December.
