What did Cassie Sainsbury do?
In 2022, Cassie spoke to 7NEWS Spotlight about the crime that made her a household name in Australia.
She said her time working in a "gentleman's club" in Sydney first led her down a path of delivering drugs.
Cassie said she applied for the job after she saw an ad on Gumtree advertising an hourly commission rate and flexible working hours.
"I didn't realise it was actually a brothel, because it said 'gentleman's club', and so I imagined a bar," she explained.
Instead, she spent the next two months doing sex work, which she described as "one of the worst things that I have experienced".
