Scandal Port Adelaide Player SPP Charged With Inappropriate Contact

[NOBBYS]

Not sure about the story with the female whether true or not ,but to be out at 2.30 blind drunk is a terrible look for a
professional club.You want this guy playing for 1o years not 5 minutes ,really surprised at lenient sentence by
leadership group.
Have seen how soft approaches to Bennell ,Dixon,Hunt etc really hurt the Suns on and off the field.

7 is trash their story today is on a sexual assault in adelaide yesterday.. ( women were raped in their homes) and they state they cant name the accuser yet..?

Yes I agree this kind of double standard is head scratch worthy -

If the accused has been charged with an offence by the police there's a chance the news can't legally state names. Powell- Pepper, as far as I know, hasn't been charged by the police so there's no legal issues there.

Ryder was charged..his name was sprayed all over the news regardless, whilst they camped outside his home for day. Turned out he did nothing illegal. Pretty sure they do what they like.

Just trying to get your perspective, do you believe that all incidents in which a person is charged, their name should remain under wraps until they're found guilty?

Because that would have pretty enormous ramifications in more serious offenses.

Hence why I said "there's a chance." Suppression orders don't happen all the time but they may have for that sexual assault case you were talking about before. There obviously aren't suppression orders for the Powell-Pepper or Ryder cases, if there were channel 7 would be in a lot of strife.

Unless the court has issued a suppression order, I think they just have to use the word alleged/allegedly when discussing his alleged offences.

Police investigation?

It is alleged that this and all similar threads are ****ed up.

Did I do it right?

Because a sexual assault charge results in an automatic suppression order. It's no conspiracy, it's the stupidity of the law. Powell-Pepper has not been charged with sexual assault, therefore the allegation can be aired.


http://www.lsc.sa.gov.au/dsh/ch08s16.php
Restriction on reporting on sexual offences

Unless an accused person consents, before they either enter a plea of guilty or are committed for trial or sentence, the identity of a person charged with a sexual offence and the publication of and reporting on these proceedings are automatically suppressed. The maximum penalty for breaching this suppression is $10 000 for individuals and $120 000 for corporations [ss 71A(1)-(2) Evidence Act 1929 (SA)].

However a Court may make a publication order to allow this is it is satisfied that it may assist in the investigation of an offence; or is otherwise in the public interest [s 71A(3) Evidence Act 1929 (SA)].

So what happens if he ended up being charged? Oh no biggy, bad luck guy.

 

[GreyCrow]

I really liked Ken Hinkleys message. Strong and leaves SPP and anybody at Port in no doubt the standards.

 

[twiggy4PM]

He's smashed here but this isn't the video of where this girl made her claims.. presume all you like, theres no evidence of what she said happening as of now. Time to move on. Kid deserves some education and a suspension for breaking curfew, the accuser also needs an education.. the rest is trash.

There is also no evidence that what she said is untrue.
It is also entirely possible that a very drunk SPP did something stupid that crossed the line. So because a different bit of film shows something else it hardly makes it time to move on or exonerate SPP. That sounds more like trying to sweep everything under the carpet.

if whats reported with the CCTV footage showing nothing of this womans claims despite her stating where and when it happened than there is nothing to see here other than a inappropriate drunk male. The different bit of film is completely irrelevant and has now appearing to be a witch hunt.

Aren't threads closed when an event is proven to be a non event?

Innocent till proven guilty. At the moment its just a beat up.

 

[Farm Boy]

Innocent till proven guilty. At the moment its just a beat up.

When its played out in the spotlight both parties are guilty until proven otherwise. Its obviously not how the law goes, but its how it plays out in the court of public opinion. Because the accusation is leveled at SPP, and taking into context the footage, it appears as though the public has made up its mind. If he doesn't like the outcome he could always sue the other party. Dustin Martin should have done that. Poor kid was hung out to dry by all and sundry. KB wanted him banished from the club, and now he is polishing Martin's shaft at every opportunity he gets. People are real POS when you are down and out.

Koche wanted Dusty sacked after chopstickgate (which proved to be false accusations) and then gives SPP 1 week.
What a douche

Koch hasn't given him anything. The Power leadership group gave him a week for breaking "curfew" and getting paralytic. The AFL are still investigating* the alleged indecent assault incident

 

[Chubberson]

AFL investigations are a joke. SPP got wasted and grabbed her hand, bad behaviour but not much else. Thats what I saw anyway.

Ever man and his dog - bar Gil - wanted Dusty sacked. And I am not a Gil fan, but that is one saga that he actually handled correctly.

As soon as they put a claim out in the media you no longer become innocent until proven guilty, you become guilty until proven innocent. Even worse you are guilty until proven innocent beyond reasonable doubt.

That’s why the media needs to be held accountable when they get it wrong or colour reports to suit their narrative or cross lines.

What we know is this Elspeth Hussey is a vocal crows supporter, having worked as an MC for the club has falsely and recklessly used the term ‘sexual assault’ even though the woman’s account was not sexual assault, and there was no evidence at the time there had been (there is a duty here to be sure before making such a claim) and since then evidence says that no such assault happened.

She has used horrendously coloured reporting to skew opinion.

She has used tagging in Facebook to track down people that might have been there and asked them come forward about “sams disgusting behaviour”

And now we are hearing that it was she (Hussey) that approached the girl and talked her into giving the interview (an interview that she now regrets). If this is true and it seems likely then that is disgusting.


The real kicker is that during this we have seen people (both here and in the media) list Trengove among recent history of port problems.


For those not familiar a big news story broke and was fervently reported that Trengove was drunk and attacked and punched a man.

Then it came out that he has at a family event, not intoxicated, and was walking a friend out to her car when a man approached and started to annoy the woman. Trengove asked him to leave her alone and then he was punched in the face and the guy ran off.

After the truth came out there was no apology, no attempt by the media to roll back the damage they had done and now Trengove and port still falsely has this stigma attached to them.

The media is largely a disgusting manipulative failure that gets away with far too much.

 

[Vikingblood]

So what happens if he ended up being charged? Oh no biggy, bad luck guy.

Correct. As I said that's the stupidity of the law. His only recourse is that if a charge or incident can't be substantiated, he could sue for defamation.

So who from Port leaked it to the media?

What we know is this Elspeth Hussey is a vocal crows supporter, having worked as an MC for the club has falsely and recklessly used the term ‘sexual assault’ even though the woman’s account was not sexual assault, and there was no evidence at the time there had been (there is a duty here to be sure before making such a claim) and since then evidence says that no such assault happened.

David Koch is a rabid Port supporter that uses FB and Sunrise to make grand claims. Your point?

She has used horrendously coloured reporting to skew opinion.

Lol media 2108

She has used tagging in Facebook to track down people that might have been there and asked them come forward about “sams disgusting behaviour”

Just as other reporters also asked for Don Burke stories, its neither right nor wrong but how communication in 2018 happens

And now we are hearing that it was she (Hussey) that approached the girl and talked her into giving the interview (an interview that she now regrets). If this is true and it seems likely then that is disgusting.

How did the reporter know there was a story?
