Sexting allegations-Rabbitohs

[Curns13]

Now I’m not going to name the player but the players account that was used which is been reported is bad news for Souths!

That’s not good.

Why not? It is splashed all over the paper for everyone to see. I am not sure how his poor wife will handle it.

 

[Curns13]

As if we didnt already know, but just to confirm, most footballers (no matter how much we love them) are absolute morons.

A quick google search came up with an article claiming that it is Sam's account. Doesn't mention if it was him who got his gear off though.

Yeah maybe it was hacked or he loaned out his password.

You're drawing a longbow with that one DC.

Unlikely.

I'm thinking most likely he was chatting with her and the players responsible hijacked the video chat.
There's a reason why it's only the use of his account that is being raised and not him being mentioned as a culprit i feel.

Either way, i think Sammy may have a few questions to ask at home.

Lewd images allegedly shown on Sam Burgess’ Facebook Messenger account: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...s/news-story/79f5f437f97e4fe1a4475cec9b19b69e

The more I think about this and the more I hear about this, the more I think it's being blown up to be a way bigger issue than it actually is. I mean, you can't tell me that it just started as a friendly chat and for no reason at all, the players just got their kit off. While it is still possible, it is unlikely.

Secondly, it sounds like it was just two players pulling a brown eye, that's not even that bad FFS! I understand it's a little silly and possibly a bit uncalled for but seriously, be an adult about it because it's not even that bad imo.

Again, this seems a little far fetched but it is possible and it has happened around the world many, many times before.

So yea, obviously we don't know for sure but this just seems to have been blown way out of proportion.

I disagree, Callmack. If it wasn’t for rugby league most of these guys would be digging ditches, laying bricks or stacking shelves. If you can’t behave up to a certain standard then don’t sign the contract. If you wanna be an idiot, play reserve grade, get a trade and you can pretend to f**k dogs, piss into your mouth and get naked on Facetime to your hearts content.

It depends what you rugby league to be, if you want to see the players in the street and be able to talk to them like real people then this is how it is.
If you want would rather it was like other pro sports where they are off limits to joe public I think you are losing more than you gain.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Sam has left a device unlocked and the lads have done stuff for a laugh that got out of hand.
The way it’s being reported is that it was sams account no mention of Sam being any more involved. Obviously just a guess at this point though.

When you except a video call aren’t you technically accepting therefore consenting the images from the other end? If your not happy with the images being displayed just hang up.

Paul Kent makes his money from controversy. That’s ok. Keeps him off the streets.

no. It’s indecent exposure.

Don’t think it’s that simple, firstly are we sure of definitions remembering that this occurred in NZ? Furthermore isn’t indecent exposure in a public place? Pretty sure a phone call is a private conversation.

If it is, then take it to the police, not the NRL

Why go to the police? Thousands of years of evolution of the English common law system has been wiped out by f**king Murdoch.

This story claims the girl involved is a Roosters supporter living in the Eastern Suburbs, and there are Roosters fans lobbing the NRL to stand down Sam immediately.

Good read. A nice change from the NewsCorp trash that is only put together to create controversy.

You’re correct. Indecent exposure is required to be in a ‘public place’. However, the Act does have a provision which deals with an “Act of indecency” which simply requires that the person commit an act of indecency toward another. Sending a naked photo to another would constitute an act of indecency. Alternatively, it could be framed as unlawful stalking but that would be more challenging for the prosecution.

I’d say under the Crimes Amendment (Intimate Images) ACT 2017 parts 91P and parts 91Q that a certain young lady and a certain media outlet could find themselves in trouble, if not for 91P definitely 91Q.
