In April 2011, he was granted strict conditional bail after his lawyer argued that the injuries sustained by the victim were caused by other people.

In February 2013, Abberton was sentenced to 21 months imprisonment but avoided jail time because the NSW District Court ordered that he serve it by way of an intensive correction order (ICO).
