Socialite and former reality star Brynne Edelsten will no longer face drug trafficking charges after indicating she will instead plead guilty to possession offences.
The 43-year-old appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday morning for a brief hearing in which her lawyer confirmed the case had been resolved.
The American-born ex-wife of the late businessman and discharged doctor Geoffrey Edelsten originally faced nine charges, including one count of trafficking a commercial quantity of methamphetamine.
But on Monday, attorney Veronika Drago told the court that the case had been resolved on charges of possession of methamphetamine and another illicit substance that is metabolized as GHB.
Magistrate Vincenzo Caltabiano adjourned the matter until August, when Edelsten is expected to apply for its termination in the Magistrates’ Court.
Edelsten did not speak during Monday’s brief hearing. He stood up when the magistrate extended his bail until the next court date.
His bail conditions include reporting to police three times a week and surrendering his passport.
He is due back in Melbourne Magistrates Court on August 12.
Edelsten rose to fame in 2009, when she married Geoffrey Edelsten, a man 40 years her senior. The marriage ended in 2014.
Geoffrey Edelsten was a former GP and businessman known for owning the Sydney Swans in the 1980s.
The controversial figure also spent time in jail in 1990 after he solicited a hitman to assault a former patient, having been struck off the medical register in 1987 for providing excessive services to patients.
More than 40 creditors came after him in 2016, five years before his death in 2021, aged 78.
