The former Mayor of Ipswich, Paul Pisasale, has been charged with over a dozen crimes, including fraud, official corruption, perjury and sexual assault.
Sexual assault was allegedly committed twice by the 68-year-old in 2016, while he was mayor.
The Brisbane Magistrates Court held his committal hearing, where he was accused of “dishonestly applying” a $10,000 cheque meant for charity, among other crimes.
Mr Pisasale stepped down as mayor in 2017 citing ill health, the day after the Crime and Corruption Commission raided the mayor’s office.
