Tiny Pinder

Former Harlem Globetrotter, Perth Wildcat and Wollongong Hawk basketball player.

So from what I understand, he committed an offense in Perth, served jail time, was released on parole, went across to Wollongong to try and resurrect his career. Now whilst on parole he committed a further offence in '96 that earned him 6 years in prison over in NSW, whereupon he was released. A decade and change passes without incident, then WA issues a return to prison warrant for the parole breach that the '96 conviction constituted and was immediately taken into custody and will be sent to Hakea Prison shortly.

I know sex crimes get peoples hackles up but there's something unsettling to me about how this happened.

Seems like BS. They couldn't serve him in 2001 upon release from prison in NSW?

The former Harlem Globetrotter, now an Australian citizen, faced his first sex charge in Miami, Florida, in 1976 when he was convicted of unlawful carnal intercourse and put on five years probation.

So many questions. When did he become an Australian citizen....after the conviction in the 90's? Would he have been given citizenship if he wasn't a famous sportsman? Would he have already been sent back to the Bahamas before if he wasn't a famous sportsman?

Showed up with Sydney in '85, so plenty of time to get citizenship before his conviction in WA.

I wonder why they call him Tiny.

Circa 1990. Cottesloe Hotel Sunday session. Made a move on a mate's sister after the hotel had just closed and everyone was milling around the front. She and her friend had to go shut themselves in a phone box not give him the hint she wasn't interested. He was mad and slamming the outside of the phone box. He's a dirty noncey sex case.

Truly terrifying and disgusting, depraved history:

Disgraced former basketball player 'Tiny' Pinder admits raping woman, in alleged 'life-threatening' incident

Raping girls since the 1970s, an 18-month jail term, and several subsequent atatcks. How was this PoS not jailed for life? Judges and Parole Board have blood on their hands. Where's the accountability?

He chased a friend of mine from age 15-17 in Perth & she was not the only very young girl he had his eye on. Gross.

What a POS, just deport him back to the US, they actually keep people in Jail better than we do.

Pretty sure his son Keanu Mother at the time was around 16 when she had him

Just trying to find information on this, the best I could do was LinkedIn where it says she finished secondary school after year 12 in 1983, that would make her around 57. Keane is 28 I think, so that would've made her late 20s.

The big POS does have 12 kids in total so he obviously love spreading it around.
