MANLY NRL fullback Brett Stewart has arrived in court for the start of his trial on charges of sexual assault.

The trial, in the District Court, is expected to take three weeks.

It will be the first time Stewart has faced his accuser since the night of the alleged offence, which happened after the Manly season launch on March 6, 2009.

It is alleged Stewart sexually assaulted a then 17-year-old girl near her home.

Stewart has barely played since the alleged assault, having suffered a succession of serious knee injuries.

The Sea Eagles star was expected to be heavily supported by family, friends and teammates at court.

it's pretty normal

 

[LazyDreamer]

i wonder if these Manly babes will be there again?

So they're protesting Snake's innocence because in the past they've offered him sexual favours & he's knocked 'em back each time?

Those bits of paper are pretty convincing tbh.

That's how it works for serious crimes. After the initial processes the prosecution and the defence need time to build their cases and often stall it. It's got nothing to do with him being available or unavailable for the most part of the year.

do we know how many weeks Ryles is facing because of this?

The timing of the case wouldn't really depend on whether or not he was free to play footy.

Those hordes of vocal ad violent protesters will sway the jury.

Brett Stewart's Lawyer: I rest my case.
Judge: You rest your case?
Lawyer: Oh, no. I thought that was just an expression. Case closed!

Thought that up all by yourself, eh?

 

[simostorm]

Who's Brett Stewart?

 

[Perth Red]

[zombie jesus]

Who's Brett Stewart?

He's that bloke who threw the last pass for the final try in the 2008 grand final.

He's that bloke who threw the last pass for the final try in the 2008 grand final.

He's also the guy that didn't cost Australia the world cup by passing the ball to the Kiwis on his own goal-line.

 

[Timmah]

And he's also the guy who's currently on sexual assault, digital penetration and intercourse without consent charges.

Just sayin'

 

[simostorm]

Eels Dude.. you would do alot of digital penetration wouldnt you?
:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Noa]

He's also the guy that didn't cost Australia the world cup by passing the ball to the Kiwis on his own goal-line.

If Stewart is found guilty then he deserves whatever punishment he gets... but simostorm's arrogance deserves to be ridiculed.
