Alleged Perth coronavirus hotel quarantine escapee Jenny D’Ubios granted bail after pleading not guilty
A woman accused of walking out of a Perth quarantine hotel and then criss-crossing the city for almost nine hours after refusing a COVID-19 test has pleaded not guilty and been released on bail.
Key points:
- Jenny D’Ubios is accused of escaping hotel quarantine
- She appeared via video link from prison and pleaded not guilty
- Ms D’Ubios has been released on bail until her next appearance
Magistrate Benjamin White said while the prosecution case was “overwhelming”, Jenny D’Ubios was “highly unlikely” to receive an immediate term of imprisonment if found guilty and had already spent more than a week in jail.
Ms D’Ubios, 49, is charged with failing to comply with a direction under the Emergency Management Act in Perth on December 26, 2020.
