| 337310 | 2005-03-23 20:22:00 | See another "well known" citazen has been given name supression by the courts for sexual molestation of a child. But at least he got something to help him remember his offence. But the poor bugger who hit him gets named and filmed on TV. Just our usual one law for the rich and another for the rest of us. |

| 337311 | 2005-03-23 21:09:00 | The "well known" citizen hasn't been convicted yet. The poor bugger that hit him is apparently a boxer. Thugs who go around punching people don't deserve any sympathy. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 337312 | 2005-03-23 21:10:00 | Note that it says: "He was granted continued interim name suppression, but Judge Edward Ryan stressed this was to protect the other people involved in the case." But here's a clue: "The suppression covers the man's name, as well as his former and current occupations." Career-changing celeb? |

| 337316 | 2005-03-24 10:03:00 | Jack - maybe you missed it but name suppression was discussed and explained at length in the thread about the All Black. Name suppression is rare. But it is normal in sexual cases - to protect the victim. And it is only interim in this case. Lets all wait and see what happens. |

| 337317 | 2005-03-24 11:13:00 | Thugs who go around punching people don't deserve any sympathy. As a father I would (and in this case will) give more sympathy to the so-called thug before I gave any to any sick <insert cussing here> who goes round molesting kids. There are times when the justice system in this country needs to be reassessed and I am beginning to think now is one of them. Granted the victims in this case need to be protected, but at what price? And why do the assailants seem to get more rights and protection than the victims? Interesting fact for you (overheard on the news, may not be 100% correct) it costs more to house one prisoner, than the average person earns in the year...... Go figure |

| 337319 | 2005-03-24 13:27:00 | I'm just wondering. If the lawyer charges say $200 an hour to write a letter (pulled that one outta the air no offence winston), I wounder what he charges for bodyguard duty? | Sam I Am (1679) | ||
