Australian businessman Bill Pulver said he might have paid the ransom rather than call the police to avoid risking his daughter's safety. Neither knew at the time the bomb was fake.
Mr Pulver spoke outside New South Wales state District Court, where investment banker Paul Peters, 52, appeared for a sentencing hearing after pleading guilty to break- ing into the Pulver mansion in Sydney and attaching the bomb. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
