Laffranchi charged over sexual assault

[Tap Twist Snap]

He was only charged today over the incident that happened on that date in September.....

Ahh ok read it quickly and wrong... still bad timing all the same for the code. Not much else to say about it until the courtcase is over.

 

[The Colonel]

I notice Serle, ake mr morality has been aweful quiet on this one

He is only probably just hearing about what is going on himself......

 

[Raider_69]

well i expect tomorrows DT back page to be Searle condeeming Laffranchi, accompanied by a photo of his torn up contract

no dickheads remember, its the principle of it, his words (or close enough anyways), not mine

 

[Geohood]

Its all speculation.

 

[Nathan B]

Didn't Tilse admit to doing the wrong thing? (Now, whether the punishment fitted the crime is another story.)

The Titans shouldn't rip up Laffranchi's contract until he either confesses or the courts find him guilty. Totally different situations until one of those two scenarios occur (if they do at all).

 

[[furrycat]]

Its all speculation.

Er...

As to what happened is speculation, but he has been officially charged- thats a fact.

Will see what happens when it goes to court.

 

[Brutus]

Dane Tilse deserved to go.

After all the crap regarding women his actions were stupid.

Anthony should have his contract torn up if he is guilty. Let the coppers and the courts do their work first.

Wait until everything is finalised.

 

[Spike]

IF guilty 3-4 with a non-parole period of about 2 1/2 years is generally a ball-park figure.

 

[[furrycat]]

Wait until everything is finalised.

What?

Hes been charged...

He is appearing at Burwood Local Court on March 27th

You know nothing sunshine. How is it speculation? He's charged... Its public record...
EDIT: and before some toss goes on about "innocent before proven guilty" at me, I haven't said he is guilty, i've merely said he was charged.

Look nothing can be done to him by his club or the NRL yet.

Anthony will plead not guilty to the charge.

Based on legal advice, Wests Tigers will make no further comment.

So the wt statement was simply that they will not be making any further comments on the matter?
hardly worth the trouble was it? :lol:

egerly await Searle's statement

 

[super_coach]

Let the guy get a fair go--than pass judgment---
Nobody even knows the extent of the charges except him and his legal team and the police. you can get a sexual assult rap for pinching someone on the bottom in 2007,although one would think the charges are bigger than that. After the bulldog affair you can bet your life the men blue think they have a unbeatable case
Lets hope the Tele Crap,dosnt drag the League through the gutters over the next few days with some rubish articles

 

[El Diablo]

egerly await Searle's statement

why?

 

[Willow]

Not to mention the Gower rubbish!!!



Shame some people do that, Willow, especially when it involved Gower.

Why especially Gower?

He deserves the same presumption of innocence as does any member of the community. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Wow that is the dumbest theory ever.

You do realise you don't just get a slap on the wrist for sexual assault? Why the f**k would he admit something he didn't do and risk going to jail for it?

Who said he admitted anything??

Like the girl who was allegedly assaulted, he has a story to tell as well. It may well be that he denies outright assault. And if he did admit guilt, then sentencing is more lenient than if he denied all charges and was found guilty. Its not a dumb theory at all.

Based on his version and hers, the police have decided to charge him and let the courts decide.

I agree that if he is guilty, then the full level of the law should be enforced, this kind of act is sickening. However too many people are jumping the gun here - he's not been found guilty of anything just yet.

No, read it all. I even put it in bold for the giggly types. The statement also said Laffranchi will plead not guilty.

 

[smeghead]

There are too many unknowns in this case for the general punter to make a judgment call on guilt or innocence.

For instance there was initially a claim a date rape drug was used. This was found to be false.

It is a matter of wait and see the specifics of the charge etc etc
