Home and Away‘s Todd Lasance pleaded guilty to a drugs charge in a Sydney court this morning.
The charges of possessing a small amount of cocaine followed an arrest in a Kings Cross nightclub in December.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Lasance’s lawyer, Chris Ford, said his client had “a bright future on the international stage” and a conviction would severely hinder his prospects overseas.
“He is a young man who is deserving of another chance,” he said.
But the magistrate said, “It’s all about you, isn’t it?
“You’re in the entertainment industry but I don’t feel entertained by your conduct.”
He imposed a 12-month good behaviour bond, but no conviction was recorded which means he will not have a criminal record if he complies with a good behaviour bond for 12 months.
The Logie winner’s bond was handed down on the very day the Seven soap returns to air. This year it is promising to return storylines to broader values, following a number of headlines for its cast in 2009.

so what, let him be, it’s only just because his famous that he gets into more trouble, his just like everyone else, he makes mistakes, move on and live him be, amazing actor on home and away to 🙂
@ Lou – no the message sent is if you are a tv star nothing will happen to you.
Guarantee if it was you or I we would be in all sorts of bother!
“expect terrible storyline on home and waway to come out this”.
What worse than its usual storylines ? That’s probably not possible.
Question for David – on the Neighbours end credits tonight a white on black super came up : For LynnBayonas. Do you know if this great Australian writer/producer died in the last few days? I tried googling it – no info.
I really admired her work on the Sullivans and A Country Practice, aming many others.
Sadly yes. I will follow up.
He can’t go to Hollywood for a year now, so I guess he will be in the next series of Underbelly? Hey he could have used that as an excuse “I was researching my Underbelly role” Judge would have bought that for sure! lol
I don’t like him that much, but i’m glad his chance to go to Hollywood wasn’t completely ruined because of this.
So the message the Magistrate sends to children and teenages: possess and take drugs and all you’ll get is a good behaviour bond?
So much for punishment acting as a deterrent. At the very least he should go through drug treatment or tape PSAs warning people on the dangers of drug use.
No wonder we have such a drug problem in Australia and the streets are dangerous after 7pm.
It’s the lightest sentence anyone has ever got for that type of offense, he should have been made an example of..
surely the timing of this is not pure coincidence? ch9 sees this as news update 2nd story worthy and i assume 7 does too.
looks like as many people expected he got of easy. no criminal record as of yet would be a relief.
Sounds like the judge is a bit of an entertainer himself.
expect terrible storyline on home and waway to come out this
