Kiwi in Australia floods apartment in bid to get rid of sex worker

A Kiwi holidaying in Australia has caused an evacuation at a Gold Coast apartment building after his bizarre bid to get rid of a sex worker.

Christopher Foley flooded the Victoria Square apartment and set off fire alarms when he was "frustrated" by the adult service he booked.

After the sprinkler system activated, it flooded the entire common room area and some apartment entries of level six.

Foley was later arrested nearby.

His lawyer has told Southport magistrates the sex worker did not match the description that was provided ... and after he tried to get his money, Foley set off the alarm to get her to leave.

Foley has pleaded guilty to wilful damage.

He's been fined and told he will likely be charged for the damage, but avoided conviction.
