The Pretoria High Court has denied a sentence conversion application by Cezanne Visser, the Department of Correctional Services said yesterday.

Visser, dubbed "Advocate Barbie", made an urgent application for her remaining sentence be commuted to correctional supervision, the department said.

She was convicted on several charges in 2009.

On Wednesday, the court struck the matter from the roll, with costs in favour of the department, because of lack of urgency.

"This implies that the offender will continue with her prison term at Pretoria Central prison," the department said.

In 2009, Visser was sentenced to seven years in jail on 11 charges including fraud, soliciting a girl to commit indecent acts, indecently assaulting girls and the manufacturing and possession of child porn.
