A suppression order on Anthony Lister’s identity has now been lifted. One alleged victim said she struggled to “separate the monster from his art” when coming forward.
Sydney street artist Anthony Lister can be revealed as the high-profile man found not guilty of sexually or indecently assaulting three women after a years-long suppression order on his identity was lifted.
On October 25, after 12 days of deliberations, the jury of nine men and three women found him not guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent, one count of indecent assault and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The acquittals related to the alleged rape of two women and the indecent assault of another.
The Crown alleged Lister had a tendency to carry out sexual conduct with “usually much younger females”, with limited warning, little to no foreplay, and “where rebuffed, persisting”, while knowing they did not consent, being reckless or holding no honest belief they were consenting. Scully told the jury it was not a court of morals or the “Surry Hills rumours or gossip court”, but rather a criminal court and a case involving “very serious charges”.
