Arrest
Frew was arrested in September 2012 and charged with the blackmail of a 58-year-old Lane Cove man. The man repeatedly gave Frew money as he was concerned that Frew would send information of an alleged sexual abuse of Frew's partner (at a time she was an underage prostitute) to his friends suggesting the victim was a pedophile.[4]
Police say Frew and another woman drove the man to ATMs between 16 June and July 2012, forcing him to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs.
The court heard Frew and his co-accused, a 38-year-old woman, went to the man's house, where he lived with his elderly father, and demanded money, when searched by police, the drug ice was found in his anus.[5][6]
On 14 May 2013, Frew was jailed for one-year and placed on a corrections order for his role in blackmailing the 58-year-old man.[7] On 20 May 2025, it was revealed that Frew had no showed his own sentence hearing but was still convicted following an incident that took place in April 2024. It was reported that Frew had been charged for recklessly dealing with the proceeds of crime to the amount of $13,900 and failing to appear in accordance with his bail conditions. Frew was convicted and fined $5000 after originally pleading not guilty and was also sentenced to a community corrections order of two years.[8]
