It comes after the reality star was arrested back in October 2017 during a Queensland Police operation targeting drug trafficking, with police finding cannabis at his home and a large amount of money.
Justice Paul Freeburn said when sentencing Jensen (via Australian Associated Press): "I would ordinarily impose a custodial case for this type of serious offending (but) in my view this is an exceptional case."
