Australian actress avoids jail time for child abuse

Australian actress Maggie Kirkpatrick has avoided jail time after being found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage girl in 1984.

Kirkpatrick, 74, who starred in the Australian TV drama Prisoner Cell Block H, denied charges of gross indecency with a person under 16.

The court ruled on Thursday she had abused the 14-year-girl at her Melbourne home.

Kirkpatrick on Friday was sentenced to 100 hours of community service.

She will be placed on a sex offenders' registry for eight years and has to undergo a sex offenders program and rehabilitation assessment.
