Overview

• Morgan Quigley, 29, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of Class B ketamine and was given a 12-month community order with 20 rehabilitation days and a 12-month mental health treatment requirement.
• Judge Brian Cummings said custody was not warranted, noting Quigley's lack of previous convictions, remorse and mental health issues, and the absence of aggravating factors.
• The ruling follows the jailing on September 15 of deputy manager Lindy Leah, 44, who received 23 months for abusing a position of trust to incite sexual activity with a teenage resident and for separate Class B drug supply offences.
• Leah is subject to a 10-year restraining order and a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order after WhatsApp messages showed sexualised grooming and plans for a drug-fuelled “night away.”
• Prosecutors emphasized that the drug supply was not to the victim and described Leah’s conduct as a sustained breach of trust against a vulnerable child in care, echoing the victim’s mother’s impact statement.
