Auckland businessman Leo Molloy has lost an appeal to quash his conviction for breaching a court suppression order when he named Grace Millane's murderer online. But Judge Peter Winter convicted Molloy, fined him $15,000 and ordered 350 hours of community work in April. There is no allegation that this occurred, but the risk was there," Justice Brewer said. "His offending went directly to harming the community by undermining the system of justice which underpins our society," Justice Brewer said. Justice Brewer added 350 hours of community work was within the available range for Judge Winter.
