His lawyer said he had nearly $100,000 in furniture, including an $11,000 chair, delivered to his home on the Lyceum Club's purse.

He pleaded guilty in the Victorian County Court on Wednesday to four charges including making a false document and obtaining financial advantage by deception from the women-only club between January 2011 to June 2018.
