Oh no. Fort Street, Sandown again!
Correct me if I am wrong (and I’m not taking this lightly)…… BUT…..
The article does not state if it was a male or a female that was the alleged victim or the alleged perpetrator.
Could be male on male or vice versa.
Hope the alleged victim is ok.
Well bug**r me, who would of thought that.
What is the point of your comment? Having read a number of your comments I have to ask why you bother. Are you just out to make comment for the sake of the same?
“ Could be male on male or vice versa.”
Vice versa IS male on male ?!
He’s a nasty person it’s not the first time he’s done this
