He passed off his parcels as 'sweets'
The incident took place in February, when a series of suspicious packages were posted from various post offices in Australia. These seemingly innocuous packages concealed the accused's body waste, which was disguised under the misleading title of 'Valentine's Day confectionery', reports ABC, an Australian news channel.
The trick was discovered when one of the parcels broke in transit, spilling its contents on a postal worker. Overall, Veronica Grey sent 23 packages. Quickly identified and arrested, Veronica Grey, originally from the Philippines, pleaded guilty to all five charges.

The individual is said to suffer from a mental disorder
Her lawyer, Kaia Gooding, explained that her client's actions stemmed rather from a 'passion for the environment' and not from any intention to harass actors. During the trial, a psychiatric report presented in court suggested that Veronica Grey was in fact suffering from a mental disorder. For their part, the two actors did not react to the case.
Despite the unusual nature of the case, Judge Deen Potter emphasized the negative impact of Veronica Grey's actions on postal operations and handed down a suspended sentence of two years, with a $3,000 good-conduct bond.
