Tyrone May

[DinkyDi]

You missed the bit where she said exactly what you did.

I was talking about her past issues.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

I was talking about her past issues.

So I now have 'past issues'

Oh dear.

No I don't have 'past issues'

I just disagree with your narrative Dinky Di.

 

[DinkyDi]

So I now have 'her past issues'

Oh dear.

Between us, clearly. Now drop it.

If a stick has two ends, you have the uncanny knack of constantly grabbing the wrong end.

I am so pleased that you know me, a stranger, so well.

He was very lucky to not be in gaol and then the fool gets back online....with accounts in his real name....dumbmerkin

He was never in a million years going to be given a custodial prison sentence for his offences.

Career criminals with lengthy histories, avoid prison sentences day in day out so he was never going to prison.

It depends on the presiding judge.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I dare say by now we all know each other’s positions on this issue and we are unlikely to change that (I know I am not).

Why don’t we call a truce till after the Board meeting/decision where it is sure to kick off again?

 

[Kilkenny]

It depends on the presiding judge.

It really doesn’t. They are bound by legal precedents.

In the first instance he was dealt with by a local court so he was sentenced by a Magistrate, not a judge. Judges preside over higher courts ie District or Supreme Courts depending in the severity of the charges.

Persons with no prior convictions don’t get sentenced to prison terms and nor should they, assuming they are being dealt with in a Local Court.

Whatever your position is on what Tyrone May did, given all the facts, his previous good character, no prior criminal convictions he was not someone who would ever be considered for a full time custodial sentence.

I don’t think he’ll get the sack. Not sure there’s enough in the post to justify a termination and given his relationship to many in the team, it’s a big call.

But the guys a knuckle dragger. That post proves he has a massive chip on his shoulder, not sure how anyone could see it any other way.

If the club don’t sack him, they’re going to have to go into massive spin mode. They’ve issued the show cause, which is basically saying we believe you should be sacked, tell us why you shouldn’t.

 

[herbert henry1908]

A few pages back someone mentioned close to going to jail. Almost zero chance of that.

For reference the woman released the tape with Katoni Staggs $600 fine

Teen learns fate over sex tape scandal involving Brisbane NRL young gun

McKenzie Lorraine Robinson, 18, has revealed how the footage was made public without Staggs' consent.

for perspective here is the judges findings

Magistrate Tina Previtera said there was no evidence of “intentional or spiteful behaviour” and the incident was a warning to all social media users.

“The evidence is that you sent this recording to one person, only one person ... this person to whom you sent the recording was the person who distributed it more widely,” Ms Previtera said.

“I do hope this is a lesson to you and all other people in this kind of behaviour on social media, that it is highly destructive.

“This recording is derogatory of more than just the victim.”

No conviction was recorded.

That happened in Queensland, under a different piece of legislation. You can’t draw much from it at all unless you’ve closely compared the legislation from each state.

The offence is quite new, there’s not a heap of precedent involved.

But given he was a first time offender you’d think it was unlikely, but 300 hours of community service is still quite a punishment. Takes a long time to work that off.

I know of someone, who was facing drug charges, he, too, was a clean skin. For a small possession of ICE, he was facing a long stint in gaol. Again, it depends on the judge on the day.

 

[DinkyDi]

That meme isn't meant as in insult. It's just a "I'm strapping in for the cat fight" kind of thing. In the same vein as when I suggested you and Jane jelly wrestle a year or so ago.

Me, jelly wrestle with @Aliceinwonderland? No thanks.

The 1st judge had a link to the Panthers and stood aside. So the judge knew he was an NRL player and would of gone harder then if a normal person was on trial

Ice and Sex tapes very different offences Like comparing Apples and Oranges.

It was a magistrate the oversaw the May case not a judge. A magistrate has a lower standing than a judge. Like NSW cup player to NRL player.

It was not a judge it was a magistrate:

I don’t see how you can make that inference at all. You know nothing about this particular magistrate. You just speculating wildly. The magistrate wouldn’t have needed the first magistrate standing aside to know he was an NRL player anyway, it was discussed at trial.

Also as for your comparison to the Queensland case, they’re quite different. The woman who was fined $600 filmed Staggs with his consent, Tyrone May didn’t have consent. Making it more serious.

Murder carries the threat of a life sentence, being involved in the commercial supply of a prohibited drug carries a life sentence, the legislated sentence is rarely ever imposed.

The offence of being in possession of a prohibited drug carries a maximum term of imprisonment up to two years.

The person you refer too May have potentially been facing such a term but in reality I would suggest they received a monetary fine with no conviction recorded. That’s just our system, that’s the way it is.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Tyrone May was convicted of filming a woman without her consent. That’s the key to why it was a serious issue.

He didn’t just distribute a video that was filmed consensually.
