Gerald 'Gerry' Roberts was Lachlan White's cell mate at Skipdale Young Offenders Institute whilst he was awaiting trial for the attempted murder of his grandfather Lawrence White. In January 2017, Gerry gave Lachlan a black eye just before Lachlan's mother Chrissie came to visit him. To keep her son's spirits up, Chrissie offered Lachlan a Porsche and a stake in the family business. When he returned to his cell after the visit, Lachlan thanked Gerry for helping out, explaining his mum would give him anything as she felt guilty for him being locked up.
