Bruce, the man has been charged and he'll get to state his case in front of a magistrate who will then decide on his punishment. One way or another he'll be paying, even if it's simply community service (my personal favourite).
As an update, the man was on the news last night postulating about it being unfair etc, and then saying he'd do it again and that he just read the conditions wrongly and next time he wont need rescuing.
If it were up to me I'd say next time he wont GET rescued.
