An Australian court on Wednesday sentenced a 49-year-old man who sent his faeces and urine to Hollywood actors Leonardo Di Caprio and Jared Leto to a two-year good-behaviour bond.
The Public broadcaster ABC said Grey, who identifies as male, had placed his faeces and urine inside 23 postal satchels, sent to the recipients as “valentine confectionary (sic)”.
Veronica Grey reportedly sent parcels from post offices around the state of Western Australia in February, a court in the town of Broome heard, and was found out after one of the packages ruptured and leaked onto a postal worker.
The defendant pleaded guilty to five charges of using a postal service to menace, harass or cause offence, the court said.
Grey was born in the Philippines before moving to the United States and then Australia, ABC reported.
Reports revealed that Grey’s defence lawyer said he had not intended to harass the actors but instead wanted to share his “passion for the environment”.
It was gathered that a psychiatric report shared in court also showed Grey had a mental health condition that affected his impulse control.
Magistrate Deen Potter said Grey’s actions had a “significant impact” on postal operations, according to ABC. AFP
