A dental student who headbutted a man in a bar causing severe oral injuries has avoided a conviction.
Benjamin Sorensen, 25, is in his final year studying dentistry at the University of Otago, racking up nearly $130,000 in tuition fees, the Dunedin District Court heard yesterday.
Counsel Alan de Jager told the court there was a high risk his client s career prospects would be left in tatters if he was convicted of assault with intent to injure.
He argued the defendant s application for registration by the Dental Council of New Zealand would most likely be rejected, a consequence out of all proportion to the gravity of the offence.
