If I remember rightly alcohol is a forbidden drug for 16yr olds and in an interview he admitted to being "off his face". Maybe admitted is the wrong word, boasted about it.

I think too, the charges were laid to stop this running out of control. I have seen some pretty interesting photos on peoples' face book.
Actually, some of the photos of Corby taken by the media wrapped in his pinky quilt were pretty revealing - then we have the underpants showing above the jeans line (when did that become a fashion statement - dont get that look at all
).
Whether or not these photos were pr0n is probably the question. The age of the offender is important too - there is no age difference here so that reduces some of the seriousness. I guess what has to be established is some kind of consent to have the photos taken, and how revealing they actually were.
One could very well argue that with mobile phones being mobile cameras, doing a strip tease twister type of game, with full on alcohol, no adults present, and with 500 other kids does leave some issues re culpability and consent rather vague.
Girls know they are being photographed by mobiles, they know they will end up as jpegs on other's mobiles, and they know they could end up on the internet. In many ways, girls these days are way smarter and party smart than the guys!
Also, when I was with the constabulary, people who were arrested were never put into the front seat either!

Nope, alcohol can be served legally to a minor in a home. And my 'kids' would use 'off their face' in many contexts - eg at a rock concert. And yeah, good kids that they are, they do sometimes boast about it. Just as we did when we were young!

You're right nioka - when it comes to including booze amongst "drugs", I am a hypocrite.
Just that I'd be worried if I saw the kids (mine or anyone's) going somewhere (in their heads) that I hadn't been before.
Must do some more research on all this - were there drugs at the party?
(is the Pope a catholic lol?)
(... then again, maybe the Pope has drugs at his parties too? )

If he was our neighbour (Meaning most of us here) I'm sure he'd be sorted out.
Not until well after the party I might add.

so what exactly are you saying tech ?

what difference would it make?

This has gone a bit far.
I don't think he asked for any of this, street damage included.
He just wanted to have a party... bigger the better.
Remember a party is supposed to be fun. And fun it was!!!
Funniest ACA interview ever.
And I hope he makes a few $$$ from this.... Couldn't hurt.

he's in a pickle now that's for sure
as per a few posts, "past the point of no return" and probably gotta be made an exampe of, a la Cousins et al.
a) party and damage and police etc
b) he's asked on ACA to apologise and take off his glasses - so far so good
c) he apologises , but refuses to take off his glasses
d) (at least partly) because of the subsequent publicity, he'll hav the book thrown at him..
In hindsight, he might wish he'd taken off the glasses lol.
Then again, time will tell - be interesting to follow thas for sure

On reflection.
I hate immensely everything he did and stands for. He is a child who knows not what he is doing. Suffice to state I retract my statements but for those who promote or support in any way how this youngster is or what he did I openly state my immense dislike and disapointment for this seemingly accepted aspect of todays society.
I hope he finds life before life takes him over.

Ahuh so what this implies predominantly is that every blooming young vacant brain head teenager can also go out and start concocting idealistic ridiculous over the top parties and be rewarded. What a lot of kaka!!!
His flipping parents should bill this wannabee son for explicit damages without hesitation!!!
Gee the media must be desperate for a male version of the famous pathetic
