Roxy Jacenko ‘s husband Oliver Curtis is facing up to five years in prison.

The financier was convicted two weeks ago of conspiracy to commit insider trading in 20o7-2008, and now, as the family wait for his sentence, Roxy has written a three-page character reference for her husband.

Referring to Curtis by his nickname, Oli, Jacenko writes about a “loving husband” who she says is the “primary caregiver” of the pair’s children, Pixie, 4, and Hunter, 2.

Addressed to the NSW Supreme Court Justice Lucy McCallum, who will determine the length of his sentence, Roxy’s statement reads:

“If Oli were to be sent to jail our children will lose the close relationship they have with their father for a period of time. Given their ages I’m worried about the effect this will have on them.

“The media subsequent to the verdict has had a significant impact on our family’s privacy, more so than the scrutiny beforehand…

“The disclosure of our home address has meant that photographers are camping outside our apartment regularly in order to get photos of Oli, myself or Pixie and Hunter. We have had to take them to school in alternate cars each morning in an attempt to prevent photographers approaching the cars as we leave. We have to keep the blinds in our apartment permanently down as photographers are able to see straight into our living room.

Oliver Curtis’s sentence will be handed down this Friday, June 24.
