Disgraced Hey Dad! actor and convicted child sex offender Robert Hughes will be released from jail on parole after multiple failed attempts.
The NSW State Parole Authority on Thursday announced its decision after conducting a public hearing for Hughes, who starred as Martin Kelly in the TV comedy from 1987-1994.
Hughes, 73, was sentenced in 2014 to a maximum 10 years and nine months in prison, which is due to expire in January 2025.
He was jailed after a jury found him guilty of 10 charges relating to sexual and indecent acts perpetrated on four young girls in the 1980s and 1990s.
'Parole is granted. The offender is to be released not later than June 14, 2022,' the parole board said on Thursday.
