[edit] Indecent act in public

On July 25, 2004 Deering was at a Cairns, Queensland nightclub doing a promotional spot for Big Brother. Deering and an unnamed 22-year-old woman were arrested outside the club and charged with creating a public nuisance by committing an indecent act in public. Deering claimed that he had merely left the club to urinate; security cameras recorded the woman performing oral sex on the seminaked Deering. He was released on AU$100 bail, and in September 2004 pleaded guilty to three charges and was fined AU$1,000.^{[citation needed]}
