Jeremy Holding

Jeremy Holding

Jeremy Holding was a guest character in July and August 2023.

In June 2023, he spiked Felicity Newman's drink while she was attending a Battle of the Bands event. When she was unconscious, he sexually assaulted her. After this, he began to send her nasty text messages and attempted to blackmail her. He claimed he had footage of the attack and would release it if she didn't pay up. After he upped his demands to $10,000 and then $20,000, Felicity organised a one-woman sting operation. She agreed to leave the money for him at a boat ramp, then stayed in her car until he showed up to collect it. She took photographs of him, which she then gave to her brother Cash. Cash was able to identify Jeremy from CCTV at the Battle of the Bands venue. Jeremy was arrested and his phone seized. The police soon discovered that Felicity was just one of Jeremy's victims and that he liked to hang on to the photos and videos of his assaults. He pleaded guilty, saving Felicity from the ordeal of having to testify against him in court.

In July 2023 Jeremy asked to meet Felicity as part of a restorative justice program.

He was played by James Dyke.
