 In January 2007, Garry Newman travelled from Melbourne posing as "Shane", the father of Brandon, in order to give her presents (lingerie and a nurse's outfit) from the non-existent Brandon.After meeting her mother, Sonya, he was then allowed to attend Ryan's 15th birthday party and stay overnight.After a shopping trip together, his increasingly erratic and possessive behaviour at the party, and inappropriate physical advances, he was told to leave by Ryan's mother Sonya, who then limited Ryan's mobile access.
