Marinovich was arrested for the crimes in 2019.
He had been hired as a freelance cameraman for Now what in 2018 and again in 2019, despite serving time for abusing children.
He was employed by Whitebait Media, a company owned by child artist Jason Gunn and his wife Janine Morrell-Gunn. He did not undergo a background check before being hired, an error for which Morrell-Gunn has profusely apologized.
In 2012, it was discovered that Marinovich had abused teenagers in his role as a cheerleading coach. He was later sentenced to two years and seven months in prison for illegal sexual connection and rape.
