Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Finding: Found guilty
Outcome: Found guilty; He noted Gladstone is now serving a significant sentence but "that is not what he is being sentenced for today." Mr Justice McDermott said the failure to register as a sex offender carries a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment. He said Gladstone was "not really appreciating his obligations to register… but that doesn't cut it." Noting the plea of guilty, he sentenced Gladstone to six months imprisonment.
