bloody hell, another one of Dunedin's finest in the spotlight. what a joke of a sentence, should be longer than whatever he got.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-20T23:01:35.000Z

too right, but the system lets these creeps off too lightly

Casey Adams2026-07-20T23:03:35.000Z

appealing? of course he is. always the same story, rich white bloke thinks he's above it all.

Sam North2026-07-20T23:59:35.000Z

100% this. victim's the one who suffers in the end.

Sam North2026-07-20T23:17:35.000Z

wonder if he'll still be appealing when the victim has to relive it all in court again ffs

Ella Thompson2026-07-21T00:02:35.000Z

they never do. slap on the wrist and move on.

yeah nah get stuffed mate, you deserve every day of that sentence and more

Finn Walker2026-07-21T00:06:35.000Z

sad to see the Captain Cook Hotel remembered for this. used to be a decent spot for a feed.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-21T00:12:35.000Z

justice system a joke, he'll probably get time off for good behaviour and be out in no time

Reagan Shaw2026-07-21T00:36:35.000Z

nah mate, system's broken but don't let this slide

Isla Cooper2026-07-21T00:28:35.000Z

as a student this makes me sick. people like him should be named and shamed publicly.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-21T01:04:35.000Z

exactly, gotta name and shame these people

Ella Thompson2026-07-21T00:44:35.000Z

lock him up and throw away the key, no sympathy from me

Casey Adams2026-07-21T01:14:35.000Z

lol yeah right, like that ever happens

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T00:52:35.000Z

bet he's got a good lawyer. money talks, justice walks.

Finn Walker2026-07-21T01:33:35.000Z

so true, money always wins in this country
