How Paul Hogan’s troubled grandson has ‘lost his only lifeline’ – as he goes on the run after giving a bizarre address to authorities

How Paul Hogan's troubled grandson has 'lost his only lifeline' - as he goes on the run after giving a bizarre address to authorities

As a devoted fan of Paul Hogan and his legendary character Crocodile Dundee, I have always been invested in the lives of his family members. The story of Jake Hogan, Paul’s troubled grandson, has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It is heartbreaking to see such a talented young man struggle with addiction and legal troubles, especially given the support system he had.


As a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to share an intriguing tale that recently surfaced. My grandson, who has been through some challenging times, provided law enforcement with an unusual residence address before disappearing from their radar. He’s currently evading police after a series of events. Sadly, his relationship with a dear loved one, who had previously intervened on his behalf in legal matters, has reached a breaking point. This individual was once his ‘get out of jail free’ card, but the situation seems to have taken a turn for the worse.

Last Friday, Jake Hogan, the grandson of the Crocodile Dundee star who struggles with drug addiction, did not appear in a Sydney court for new drug and criminal accusations. This absence led the magistrate to issue an arrest warrant.

33-year-old ex-tradesman, now battling drug addiction, was reportedly arrested by police at around midnight on July 26 in the central Sydney area of Glebe. They allegedly found a small amount of methamphetamine and tools for breaking into homes on him.

When he was taken to a city police station and charged, Hogan gave his home address as a GP’s doctor’s surgery in the inner-western suburb of Sydenham. Hogan was then granted bail. 

Last week, I failed to show up at Sydney’s Downing Centre Court, a place that posed a significant risk for my immediate re-imprisonment. Unfortunately, I was not present as required.

In the past three months, Jake’s life took a turn for the better after his tearful situation was alleviated when his father rushed from New Zealand to offer assistance in helping him re-establish his life.

Todd Hogan, a son of renowned comedian Paul Hogan and his first spouse Pauline, arrived to lend assistance as Jake completed a community service term due to burglarizing apartment complexes to feed his substance addiction and violating a protective order.

According to our reliable source, Daily Mail Australia reports that Jake abruptly found himself at odds with his father, leading him to abandon the court-ordered recovery program.

In the court hearing in May, Deputy Chief Magistrate Sharon Freund expressed a stronger preference towards granting Jake’s freedom due to the strong demonstration of support from his family.

She remarked that Todd Hogan’s decision to return and live in Australia during the time when his son was serving a community-based sentence was a “significant” or “important” one.

The magistrate remarked, “This individual is quite young and could greatly benefit from some support. With the right chances, he can certainly change his life for the better.”

She ordered Jake to attend rehab and counselling and abstain from alcohol and drugs. 

The judge firmly advised him that if he violates the terms of his Intensive Corrections Order, there’s a possibility he may have to return to prison, ‘and no one desires that outcome.’

Given the present accusations, it appears increasingly probable that he will serve time in prison. These charges include having 1.5 grams of methamphetamine and burglary tools found within his possession.

As a lifestyle guide, I find myself pondering about the potential residence of Jake upon his release, alongside his father. It’s uncertain whether Todd Hogan remains in Australia or if he has since reconnected with his family back in New Zealand.

Todd was once married to Jake’s mom, Marie, during the time when Jake was still a teen. Friends claim that an unfortunate incident caused significant distress to Jake. As Jake turned 17 in 2006, Marie experienced a heart-wrenching deterioration due to multiple sclerosis and eventually passed away from the condition.

After the passing of Marie, Paul Hogan hurriedly traveled from California, where he resided with his second wife Linda Kozlowski and their son Chance, to participate in Linda’s funeral.

After some time, Todd got married again, this time to a registered nurse named Jane. Meanwhile, Jake chose to stay in Sydney and seemed to live an ordinary life, starting a relationship with a woman named Rachel Young, who is a young mother.

Jake struggled with substance abuse problems, but when his relationship ended and the dream of creating his own family vanished, he found himself deeply ensnared in a powerful addiction to drugs that eventually dominated his existence, as per past reports from Daily Mail Australia.

As a person with a past record, I’ve faced convictions for various drug-related offenses, break-ins, and possession of specific tools like Trojan wire cutters, a black torch, Allen keys, and an adjustable wrench.

On the previous Friday, Magistrate Clare Farnan informed the court that she deemed the recent alleged crimes as proven following her approval of the arrest warrant. She further stated that defendant Hogan would be required to appear in court again on August 28.

Hogan faces up to two years in prison for the offences.
