John Michael Isaac jailed for sexually assaulting intoxicated woman he was meant to drive home

4

John Michael Isaac has been sentenced to two years in prison for sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman he had agreed to drive home after a fete in 2022.

A jury convicted Isaac in December 2025 on two counts of serious indecency. Prosecutors said that after dropping off other passengers, he stopped behind a bank and engaged in sexual activity with the woman without her consent. Serious indecency does not include intercourse.

In sentencing, the court considered the woman’s intoxication, the prevalence of similar offences and a lack of remorse, along with a victim impact statement describing ongoing emotional trauma. The defence sought a fine, citing character references and a difficult upbringing.

The judge said the sentence was meant to send a clear message that such opportunistic offending would be treated seriously. Isaac received two years on each count, to run concurrently, with 48 days on remand credited.

  1. I hope they have substantial evidence to convict. If she was intoxicated, she could give consent (knowingly and voluntarily), and also she can’t recall anything for her testimony to me credible. So, I hope the prosecution had videos behind the bank of him doing what he is alleged to have done without consent or his sperm in her or witnesses but anything less than this, no conviction should be had.

  2. Why do these judges keep giving these criminals such short sentences. Does society need more perverts walking the streets?

    Also the women need to control themselves when they go out to party. You can’t allow yourself to get drunk to the point where you can be taken advantaged of so easily.

  3. You speak like you know something and dont know shit! Let me educate you? Its the onus on the defendant to know that clear consent is given. If the defendant knows that in the state she was in otherwise rather in a sober state that consent would not have been given then he has committed an offense! Any reasonable person knows when someone is drunk or intoxicated. So the laws say without consent or otherwise knowing consent would have been denied or withdrawn. Read your laws
