Photographer wins appeal in Kidman bugging case
18/10/2005 - 08:13:45A photographer suspected of planting a listening device outside the Sydney home of Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman will not have to give a DNA sample to police, an appeals court ruled today.
One of Kidman’s security guards spotted the device near a pavement outside her lavish harbourfront mansion in January.
Police later alleged that celebrity photographer Jamie Fawcett, 43, had been captured on security footage near the house around the time the bug was planted.
The Waverley Local Court in April ordered Fawcett to supply police with a DNA sample to be compared with samples allegedly found on the listening device.
