Disgraced Nrl star Brett Finch cops 2 years community service

Disgraced former NRL player Brett #Finch, who shared sick fantasies about young boys on a sex hotline, has been spared from prison but will serve a 2 year sentence in the community, which involves supervision, mental health treatment and random drug testing. @9NewsSyd

Between November 2020 and January 2021, Finch used the FastMeet service to leave messages for other men about wanting to have sex with teens and young boys.

He left seven voice messages on the service on six occasions, during each one providing a description of himself before expressing his desire to engage in sexual acts with young boys aged between 12 and 16.

The voice messages left by Finch are too vulgar to print.

“Each contained what could only be described as highly depraved and sexualised content,” Judge Mahoney said on Wednesday.

He added that while Finch’s offending did not involve the actual abuse of children, it could “normalise” the behaviour for those receiving the messages.

On Wednesday, he was handed a two-year sentence to be served in the community that requires him to be of good behaviour and undergo psychiatric treatment

"yes, I'm not sure the argument that the release was unfairly puinitive could stick. On top of the offers he has received from rugby, Parramatta haven't said no to a full release entirely. As soon as any club, including Melbourne, offers compensation…"

"Lomax has backed the RLPA into an unenvious position. They have previously stated to be against trade windows and jumped up and down whenever it's been suggested that players don't sign deals more than 12 months in advance. Their argument has been…"

"I know, i cannot believe it. Then you have the born with a silver spoon Storm fans who more likely never been told no in their lives, saying this is a desperate move by us. Pretty much saying Lomax was going to do this anyway and we just beat him to…"

      I'll also add that everyone here has their own lens for looking at this crime and it's triggers

I would have preferred he received the Covid cure, North Korean style.

I'm confused. I heard a while back he was only using this platform to aid his drug habit. By the sounds of this it doesn't seem the case.

Nothing makes sense with this whole saga.

Disgusting ruling. He deserves jail. But what do we expect when the judges and law makers in Australia have a deep history of this behaviour.

What a load of BS, using addiction to justify shitty behaviour that deserved time in jail - like getting cocaine is some mission...

  Agreed again. It is hardly a deterrent
