3. Okmalum was jailed for a month despite his defence pushing for a fine so he could leave the country.

4. The Smart Mampara had gone out drinking after performing at Hobart’s pre-eminent cultural festival MOFO where he returned from to his hotel about 5.30am but was drunk and unable to find his way into the Old Woolstore.

5. Crown prosecutor Rebecca Lancaster said he entered the victim’s hotel room through an external sliding door that she had inadvertently left ajar.

6. Malum had never met the victim before.

7. The victim woke up with Smiso in her bed kissing her neck and rubbing his hands over her private parts. He then told her “don’t make any noise”, Ms Lancaster said.
