- Dennis pleaded guilty to the driving‑while‑disqualified charge at Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday and entered no contest through his lawyer.

- At his May 2025 sentencing Dennis received a 17‑month prison term that was suspended in favour of a two‑year good‑behaviour bond and a five‑year driving ban, and the judge warned breaching the ban could lead to jail.
- Hoskins’ parents have said they do not want Dennis jailed because of the impact on their grandchildren while the state victims’ commissioner has criticised his public conduct as showing little insight into the harm caused.
