FALLEN NRL star Blake Ferguson has been handed a two-year good behaviour bond for grabbing a woman's crotch in a dimly-lit Sydney pub.
Ferguson was found guilty in December of indecently assaulting the woman during a night out at Cronulla's 2230 Bar, where he was celebrating his NSW Origin selection with teammate Josh Dugan.
Defence lawyer Adam Houda told Sutherland Local Court on Monday the former Canberra Raiders player's public fall from grace was punishment enough.
Ferguson's turns on the sports field catapulted him from a troubled childhood to a "world of celebrity" but his lucrative career was now in tatters and his reputation "savaged", he said. "Football was his only way out of the gutter," Mr Houda said.
"To lose your only source of livelihood - in the hundreds of thousands - and to be humiliated is punishment enough."

Boxer Anthony Mundine was in court to support his cousin.
Magistrate Jacqueline Trad said it was "naive" for anyone in the public eye to expect to escape scrutiny after committing an unprovoked assault.
"There was nothing in this situation that could be considered that it was in any way provoked," she said.
"There's no excuse, there is no circumstance where it could be appropriate to cross that line, whether or not it's caused by intoxication or whether or not it's caused by past difficulties."
Anthony Mundine's father Tony Mundine - himself a former boxing champ - said he was optimistic about Ferguson's chances of returning to rugby league.
"Blake is very lucky he got two years of bond," he told reporters outside court.
"Now he can go on and try to get a club to play for."
He said Ferguson was "going good" and was a changed man since he stopped drinking.
"If he gets back on the booze I'll knock him out," he said.
