> Entertainment and AFL figure Ralph Carr has described himself as being in a “living hell” with his career “destroyed” after convictions for two counts of rape and one of sexual assault, a Victorian court heard. His lawyer said Carr had self-harmed in custody, was suffering frequent panic attacks and could kill himself if a stay of sentence was refused.
