Convicted sex offender Robert Hughes is eligible to apply for parole for a third time next week.

The former Hey Dad! star was jailed back in 2014 after being found guilty of sexual assault charges.

The Parole Authority has previously ruled against him because he “presented an unacceptable risk to the community”.

Ben Fordham says if Hughes applies for parole, it shouldn’t be granted.

“He’s never shown an ounce of remorse.

“He’s a habitual offender, a child abuser, and a liar.

“His sentence expires in January 2025 and even then the community will not be safe.”
