A naturopath entrepreneur who runs an international weight-loss business appeared to have it all - living in a $10million mansion and running a thriving company with celebrity endorsements and deals with multinational corporations.
But on Tuesday, Savannah Daisley's world came crashing down.
The 45-year-old was charged on Monday with having sex with a 14-year-old boy four times over a 24-hour period until 5pm on May 20 last year.
Daisley was denied bail in Waverley Local Court, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, on Tuesday. She strongly denies the allegations, which police allege occurred in the same exclusive suburb where she lives, and intends to plead not guilty.
In opposing her application for bail, police told the court Daisley had spoken to the victim by phone, admitting to kissing the boy, but having little recollection of any of the alleged offending.
Daisley, the daughter of famous horse breeder Ross Daisley, will be held on remand in Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre until her matter is mentioned in Manly Court on August 2.
Her father, who bred the renowned thoroughbred racehorse Choisir, had offered to put up $10,000 bail for his daughter, who was also willing to report to police daily.
But in denying bail, Magistrate Jacqueline Milledge, said the act governing bail in relation to child sex offences was 'firm', and there was justification to keep Daisley in custody given the nature of the case.
The prison cell where she will spend at least the next month before her court appearance is a far cry from the dazzling views of Sydney Harbour she's used to from her home in Longueville, on the city's exclusive lower north shore.

Daisley is a successful entrepreneur and founder of Smart Cleanse - a 14-day program comprising capsules and powers that promise to detoxify clients' bodies, eliminate stress, shed kilos, and 'reverse ageing'.
Daisley's products now sell across Australia after she secured deals with pharmacy giant Priceline in 2018, and with supplement giant Mr Vitamin in 2020.
She launched the company in 2014 and quickly attracted a celebrity following, including Neighbors star Jodi Gordon, who featured in a video testimonial for Smart Cleanse in June 2021 - spruiking the program as her 'health and beauty secret'.
Ms Gordon, 37, said Smart Cleanse helped her kick sugar cravings and stay focused and alert at work, while still having enough energy to cook dinner for her daughter.
