so there is no difference between planting an unwanted kiss, or sexual penetration? getting a little excited arent you?
measure what he did wrong, not the wording of the charge...

So if it was your sister, mother or daughter you would want him to get a $1000 fine or some other weak punishment. Lock him up if hes guilty for as long as possible

Dont forget many sickos out there start with groping and other "low range stuff" and a few years later are beating and raping women. Throw them in jail and lose the key!
i wouldnt destroy a mans life over an unwanted kiss, no. id probably arrange to have him flogged....lol

lol i would rather jail than a flogging, although it would stop them having a "pretty boy" image with a few scars

95% of proven sexual assaults in NSW receive prison terms. The average sentence in a guilty plea is 4.5 years, for a non guilty plea, 6.5 years. Aggravated sexual assault attracts a higher sentence. Indecent assault (groping) attracts an everage sentence of around 9 months.
What dont you get here, the wording of the charge defines the seriousness of the offence!
You are talking about indecent assault (which still attracts a jail term by the way); he has been charged with sexual assault.Prospector

Ha, get this, he wasnt banned because of the allegations, but because of this:
He said Stewart was banned not because of the charge but because he ignored his duty to the game when he was refused service and later thrown out of the Manly Wharf Hotel two days after launching the new season.

Yeah, you are right metric, he has a great personal history on his side; and because of it they should throw away the key!

You are kidding, right? You really think being an Australian representative player (in a sport that only Australia plays) carries any weight at all in a Court of Law? I didnt say he had a criminal history by the way! Well, not yet. Good character, well, let's see about that!

Him playing in such a rubbish sport is even more reason to send him to jail

Prospector, Stewart plays Rugby League, not Aussie Rules.

Ah yeah, I know that.
Rugby League is only played in 2 Australian states. Rugby Union is the International Rugby game, league is just a, well, I wont use the word I want to, modified version. Rugby League barely raises a blimp on the International sport forum! Rugby Union is the only Rugby that counts.
Sounds like a kangaroo court to me....
Don't underestimate what a good legal team will be capable of either.
1. He's a Type I diabetic.... medical ramifications + alcohol etc
2. His reputation/history will work in his favour (rather than against him)
3. Seems DNA testing has come back negative....
4. Appear to be credibility issues with victim + family???
If he is found guilty... I very much doubt he will get a jail sentence.
I, for one, will reserve judgement until the full story comes out.
Cheers, JM

It's played in 4 states, and some games in NZ.
Maybe you should watch it, you might like it
I have 3 sons and I'm extremely happy they keep well away from AFL and Rugby. This latest news story is just another in a very very long line. The players are not heroes or role models - they simply play football very well. Not interested in them otherwise.
My personal experience comes from growing up as a young girl in a country Victorian town where football and players were, and still are, idolised. It's not only senior league players that act like this, plenty of country footballers are louts but don’t get the media attention. They all seem to enjoy letting their hair down on footy trips overseas (esp Bali).
I don’t miss the stubby drinking, foul mouthed, sexually aggressive louts that congregated in the local pubs on Saturday evenings during footy season.

Oh yes, Melbourne Storm? Well, that makes all the difference!
If NZ is the best you can do to make it an International sport, well then I do watch it, I like to see the State of Origin match; watching these men with funny ears and noses try to ground the ball. Sticking fingers into places that dont need them. Star tackles and the like. Silly stuff. :No doubt the courts will sort out the evidence and determine the outcome. If he is diabetic and consumes alcohol to excess, well, he is his own enemy, and is in self destruct mode anyway, isn't he!

Do you have any idea how offensive that post is to women and I suspect most of the men in this forum? Does the word Consent even enter into your vocab?
