The preliminary hearing in the case against former Hey Hey producer Gavan Disney and former BTV6 personality Fred Fargher took place yesterday.

The alleged offences took place against one victim between January 1980 and December 1983.

Both Fargher and Disney worked for Ballarat’s BTV6 during the 1970s and 1980s. Fargher was the host of variety show Six Tonight.

Disney, 58, is charged with eight counts of indecent assault and two counts of rape. Fargher, 68, is charged with one count of indecent assault between March and December, 1981. Disney, who has vowed to fight the charges, did not appear in the Ballarat Magistrates Court yesterday.

Both matters were adjourned to June 19.
