Orpheus Pledger's Jail Sentence Reduced After Appeal

The former Home and Away actor will serve a community corrections order instead of additional jail time following a violent attack.

Orpheus Pledger, 31, successfully appealed his seven-month prison sentence for assaulting a woman during a drug-fuelled incident.
The Victorian County Court re-sentenced Pledger to 97 days in jail, already served, with a two-year community corrections order.
Pledger's community corrections order includes 150 hours of unpaid work and mandatory rehabilitation for drug abuse and mental health issues.
The actor's victim supported his appeal, requesting leniency despite the severity of the attack.
Judge Michael Tinney acknowledged Pledger's potential for rehabilitation but noted concerns over his recent behavior and missed psychiatric appointments.
