A man who sent several women "creepy and lewd" text messages after obtaining their details while delivering courier parcels has been sentenced and had his security guard certificate cancelled.
Ryan Lovey-Timote pleaded guilty to three charges of doing an indecent act with intent to assault, and was sentenced on October 14 to four months community detention with a nighttime curfew and nine months supervision.
Police also requested his security certificate of approval be cancelled following his convictions because he was no longer suitable to be a responsible security employee.
Lovey-Timote obtained the contact details of several women while helping a courier driver and sent them messages containing information about what they were wearing and doing.
The victims told police they felt "unsafe, anxious and violated" because of his actions.
Police told the Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority Lovey-Timote could use the role to spy on young women and obtain their contact details if he was allowed to continue working in security.
Authority decision-maker Trish McConnell said his convictions did not automatically disqualify him from working as a security guard, but his conduct made him unsuitable for the role.
"I am satisfied that his conduct and the nature of his offending means Mr Lovey-Timote is no longer suitable to be a responsible security guard," she said.
She ordered Lovey-Timote's certificate of approval be cancelled effective immediately and told him to return his security ID.
