Illinois Nazi - love your avatar and signature!

Anyway back on topic, it is clear that the jury had to be influenced in some way by the media but guilty on all but one charge is pretty damning. He might get a lighter sentence - anyone know what sort of sentence he would be looking at?

I'd be surprised if he copped less than 4-5 years, and at least two years non parole. That's roughly the average. I'd expect the sentencing judge may give him some kind of discount - he is high profile and has committed nasty crimes even by jailhouse standards. His time in prison wont be pretty.
 
Gary Rielly,creator of the show,certainly doesn't come out of this scandal looking good.
His cover-up is just as bad as what Hughes did.

Sarah Monahon's mother sounds like a charming piece of work too

Why did Nudge not speak? o_O

JUBJUB I'm assuming you saw the interview. You got any theories on that- was quite strange. (And yeah agree with what you've posted there)

Having Nudge did seem pointless.He was asked one question.
I'm assuming he wasn't asked much just as Julie McGregor wasn't because they knew nothing about it at the time.

Where was the 2nd Simon [Christopher Mayer] ?
 
Really felt for Sarah Monahan last night on ACA.
The one question I wanted asked by Tracey Grimshaw that wasn't was:

After the show had finished, why didn't Ben and Simone go to the police after Gary Reilly failed to do anything?
Seemed a pretty logical step if Ben was so angry at the time.

And I thought having Nudge there was quite weird. Was only asked one question and seemed really distant with the rest of the cast.

It wasn't asked directly but it was asked.

I believe Simone answer that. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and guess she was a bit naive (as she said) but she said as she was only 18, she trusted that they would do something and didn't feel the need to take it any further.

I guess Sarah Monahan further explained that when she latter said they would have just gone straight to the top and avoided following that level of hierarchy.

I guess he was there to show moral support and to avoid say questions as to why he wasn't there. If he wasn't there, someone could easily misconstrue that as his support for Robert Hughes.

If ACA wanted to gain a bit more journalistic credibility (they have dine well with this story) as opposed to the Centrelink trip puff pieces they usually do - they should investigate the claims made by Ben and Simone about getting black banned or rejected for future roles by agents and the industry based on them standing up for Sarah.

They should then 'out' anyone who has failed to give them work based in that reason.

Yes, agree with you. However, I wonder if she received any hush money back in the day to remain silent about the abuse.

Her not believing her daughter doesn't make sense to me.
