The Territory’s Young Australian of the Year Jaiden Dickenson has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault stemming from a domestic violence incident, less than three weeks after he was given the award for his work helping to reduce rates of youth reoffending, The Australian has reported.
The 18-year-old was arrested on Friday in Tennant Creek, with police alleging he physically assaulted an adult female relative at home. He was granted bail to appear in Tennant Creek Court on January 13 of next year.
What’s Jaiden’s version of events?
I too would like to hear his side of the story.
