A former All Black appeared in the Dunedin District Court on
October 15th where he had had an application for permanent name
suppression and discharge without conviction turned down.
Ex AB X’s lawyer has appealed against the rulings, claiming
the harm to his reputation if his name is revealed would outweigh the severity
of the offence.
Perhaps ABX should have thought about his reputation prior
to the offence?
ABX was ordered to pay $6500 in reparation to the victim.
He admitted making an indecent advance upon her at her home
in November of 2011.
Since an application for permanent name suppression was turned-down
- when are N.Zers going to know who he is, the finer details of his crime?
With the complete lack of details on the individual other
than his likely home town, sporting affiliations it spreads dispersion upon all ex All Blacks in the
Otago region, so he owes it to them to front-up.
The Court should have at least listed his age in order to
protect his innocent team-mates even if ABX and his lawyer thinks more about his reputation over the team he
played for.
Despite temporary name suppression his name, crime
details are sure to be whispered over
bar leaners down South anyway.
This low life AB who pleaded guilty to this crime has now had the case quashed by the so called Judge in the High court ,tell me how that is justice !.I'm sure if it had been there wife it would be a different result
ReplyDeleteThis gutless worm has now some how got the case quashed even after pleading guilty.A new trail is going to happen he appears again in the Dunedin courts on 9th December no doubt trying to crawl his way out of it again ,lets hope this low life gets what he deserves and that the poor lady can get her life back together
ReplyDeleteWell the 68 year old low life was in the Dunedin court again up before Judge Saunders for a sentence indication,the Judge said that he had had such a hard time of it and that it would be very hard for him to make cooking programs if his name was out there or got a criminal record,nothing about the poor victim who has had to suffer first by him groping her under her clothing and then putting her through almost 3 years of him dodging and trying to hide.How can he get away with it after pleading guilty twice amazes many.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what the result was of the 9th December appearance? Has his name ever been released?
ReplyDeleteNote: I don't want to get caught revealing his name even though half the South Island already knows thanks largely to the leader of the oppositions election 'bottle of wine' meeting. So I have decided to heavily moderate the comments on this one.
