Just over a fortnight ago, Sara Huegill, the wife of former Olympian Geoff Huegill, was arrested for allegedly stealing a pair of $2500 leather pants from a boutique in Byron Bay.
According to Tuesday night’s A Current Affair, the 34-year-old is also accused of accepting payments from at least five clients for work that was never carried out.
Ahead of the program, Geoff Huegill made a public statement for the first time about his wife’s behaviour.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Huegill wrote, “at times, good people make poor choices”.
“We all trip over and make mistakes and unfortunately, we let others down. But that doesn’t make us bad people.
“There are no excuses for the poor choices, however, when we look back at a moment in time, naturally there are things we would all do differently.
“I want to extend my heart felt appreciation to those who have supported us and those who continue to support us in these challenging times.
