A knife-toting Australian hired to break into another man's home, tie him up and stroke him with a broom has been cleared of intimidation after accidentally entering the wrong house.
Sydney man Terrence Leroy and an associate turned up at a rural home on a quiet Sunday morning last July armed and ready to carry out a sexual fantasy organised on Facebook.
The unsuspecting resident initially mistook the intruders for a friend who had come over to make coffee and said: "Bugger off, it's too early".
When the men said their intended role-player's name, the startled resident turned on the light and found them holding large knives next to his bed.
After realising he was not the willing participant, one of the pair apologised and shook the man's hand before leaving, according to court documents published earlier this month.
