The Parramatta Eels can confirm that earlier today Maika Sivo was charged with indecent annoyance relating to an alleged incident at a Nadi Hotel in Fiji where he is visiting family.

He is due to appear in court on Monday in Fiji.

The Club takes these incidents seriously and will be monitoring the situation closely.

As with any legal matter, it is important that we follow due process, and the Club will review all information available regarding the alleged incident.

We are currently providing support to Maika and his family.

The Club has informed the NRL integrity unit and will be making no further comment at this time.

Overseas crimes don’t count?
Or another elaborate shakedown?

 

[Spot On]

All good.

See Fifita precedent.

 

[Bazal]

Well indecent annoyance sounds quite a few tiers below snotting a security guard, so no punishment from the NRL

Well it should be interesting how Greenflog responds

Without seeing one shred of evidence, I’m predicting a suspension because Sivo doesn’t represent Australia, and won’t in the future,

 

[Rhyno]

Being a parramatta player no doubt he will get a year long suspension for a nothing incident

Spewing it wasn't Moses then, your club might actually be a chance of winning something other than a spoon

 

[Diesel]

If Fiji is playing Australia, expect a 3 match ban.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Send him to the broncos as punishment

This wouldn't have happened if he stayed at the Riff. Sad to see him in with the wrong crowd

 

[Welsh RL & RU watcher]

Bit of money and fame, hey presto.

 

[King hit]

Never heard of indecent annoyance

 

[bileduct]

"Indecent annoyance" is categorised as sexual crime in Fiji.

It's worth noting that Fiji has a "No-drop policy" for complaints of this nature, meaning that Sivo would have been subject to mandatory arrest and prosecution.

(Inserted by 16 of 1960, s. 9.)

Indecently insulting or annoying females
