The offence doesn't exist, but he was obviously conned into pleading guilty to the charge probably in return for "dropping" the ludicrous compensation claim. Reading between the lines he was probably told he would be let off because of the confusion. What confusion, the law does NOT apply.
This makes things easy for TBs government now as a precedent has been set that this law can be used where they want to and can only be properly overturned by someone with the money to fund it.
