Nick Stevens fraud trial delayed again
Former Carlton vice-captain Nick Stevens' fraud trial has been delayed after the jury was dismissed due to prosecutors experiencing technical difficulties.
7news.com.auHere’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:
-
Summary of events: Nick Stevens, a former AFL Carlton player, has faced fraud-related charges linked to a pool installation scheme. Trials have been repeatedly delayed or restarted, and recent reporting notes he was found guilty in March 2026 of defrauding multiple Mildura families of more than $170,000, with sentencing upcoming at that time. A separate February 2026 update also reported a trial delay due to technical issues with the jury process, with a new jury to be convened soon. A May 2026 update highlighted ongoing courtroom proceedings and victims speaking out as part of the case, including impacts on families and relationships.[1][2][4]
-
Context on outcomes: The March 2026 coverage indicates a guilty finding on the pool-scam charges and a sentencing forthcoming at that time. Earlier coverage described the long-running nature of the case, including multiple aborted trials and delays. The late-May coverage suggests continued legal proceedings and victim testimonies as part of the ongoing process.[2][4][1]

Related mentions: Several unrelated or differently named “Nick Stevens” profiles exist (e.g., NFL/NBA contexts or performers) but the high-profile and locally reported case about the AFL figure concerns the pool-scam fraud matter in Australia.[3][6]
Would you like me to pull the latest court documents or provide a short timeline of key dates and outcomes, with direct quotes from the latest articles? I can also summarize the victims’ statements and the judge’s likely considerations for sentencing, if that would help. If you’re specifically looking for updates from a particular outlet or country, tell me which one and I’ll tailor the briefing.
