Triple J presenter allegedly kissed while on air by Sydney studio intruder
Summary
A man is in custody after being charged with gaining unlawful entry to the ABC Sydney studios and assaulting a triple J presenter while she was on air. It is believed Kieren Gallagher, 31, from Wollongong, entered the Ultimo centre on September 5 by tailgating an employee through security before making his way through the building to the studios of the youth network. Police said he then gained entry into the live studio and managed to grab and kiss presenter Genevieve Fricker, who was on air. He was charged with stalk/intimidate with the intent to cause fear, trespass and common assault and appeared briefly at Central Local Court. Mr Morris said the ABC had recently invested in increased security, however "the success of new systems and infrastructure is always dependent on our behaviour".
