Boyce, The Rock host Bryce Casey, TV producer Andrew Robinson, Daniel Watkins, Craig O’Reilly and Gregory Clarke appeared at Manukau District Court today charged with false information in an attempt to gain access to a secure area.
All plead guilty. Clarke, O’Reilly and Watkins were discharges without conviction for their part in the failed comedy skit and find NZ$250 each. The other three are awaiting a sentence.
The case had been set down for a defended hearing but last week decision was made to hold a sentence indication hearing.
