Former Game of Two Halves and One News sports presenter Tony Veitch has pleaded guilty to reckless disregard causing injury, a charge which carries a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment.
Six other charges of assault have been dropped as a result of plea bargaining, sparing former girlfriend Kristin Dunne-Powell the distress of giving evidence and as an acknowledgement of the reparations that had already been paid.
At sentencing, Veitch was handed 300 hours of community service, 9 months supervision, fined $10,000 plus court costs and told he must attend an anti violence program.
