Stand down rule??????

Stand down rule??????

I doubt it, but surely it derails the clubs hope this year. He is engaged to the coaches daughter I believe

 

[voicefromthehill]

Depends on the maximum prison sentence for the alleged offence I believe - stand down is based on that to my knowledge

But stuff me, 5 counts!

Stand down rule??????

The maximum penalty for sexual touching is 5 years in prison if the case is dealt with in the District Court, or 2 years if it remains in the Local Court.

Wow, if true the Arthur family will be having a difficult weekend.

Interesting that there are 5 charges, if each charge carries a max term of say 3 years. Does 5 x 3 years make it fall under stand down rule?

One of our esteemed legal eagles will swoop in to answer that I am certain

But it is charged with 5 counts from my reading not 5 seperate charges

I don't think so, I wonder if it's the same person or 5 different ones. I guess we could give them Cooper John's to help them out

Stand down rule??????

That only applies to us Boss

 

[Frogz]

Parra Should of gone to bali, Newcastle had no troubles there...

 

[voicefromthehill]

I don't think so, I wonder if it's the same person or 5 different ones. I guess we could give them Cooper John's to help them out

Same person I would say as the Police responded to a complaint and not several

 

[master blaster]

It will probably be covered up and money will change hands and that will be the end of it

 

[Frogz]

Based on the definition of sexual touching, Section 61KC of the Crimes Act 1900 states that any individual who sexually touches another person without their consent faces a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment.

Mans biggest challenge on and off the field feathered friends is one self
Man must over come distractions , temptations , and have the discipline to rise above all challenges that may bring him down

I think any charge involving women can be stood down at the discretion of the NRL.

 

[Woodsie]

Although it doesn't say if the victim was female ...

 

[MissKate]

Yes, that old ‘discretion’ number. Parra will say, but we just let Jacob arthur go to Manly so we have no one to cover the position. The nrl will say, ok, we will stand down a Manly player instead, just to keep everything fair

 

[manlyfan76]

One wonders if attack coach Barrett was there.

Is Brown's partner Arthur's daughter?
