Nude Premiership Medal Photo

[WilliamPowell]

hypothetical - what would happen if our future ladies team won a premiership and one of the women players got her boyfriend to pose at Punt Rd Oval with the medal around his wang?

would the guy be charged for indecent exposure? would the girl be in trouble?

The legal issue here Dooks is not the photo as such but the fact it has been allegedly posted on social media without the person in the photo's consent. That's what the cops are investigating

Sounds like Chopsticks Part 2
If you don't want nude pics of yourself floating about social media, don't pose for them! And I reckon it was probably leaked more so by so called "mates" of player concerned

Was thinking the same thing Julz

100% guarantee the lady in the 2nd photo outside the Punt Rd Oval is not the same as the lady in the medal
" Bella" does a hump day pic each Wednesday and was showing her support for the Tiges leading up to the GF
Never more nothing less
Hardly newsworthy

Unfortunately, Jack it became "news" (use that term very loosely) when a week after the event of the 1st photo appearing in social media the person in the first photo made a complaint to the cops (well that's how the HUN s reporting it).

[WilliamPowell]

And follks you know the rules - they've been in place long enough

Don't post rumours or start playing guessing games as to who the player is. Even what can be called "long bow" rumours

I've just removed a post like that.... it implied who the player could be by posting a "rumour"

The player hasn't been named publicly and until he is then there is to be no guessing or posting any unsubstantiated rumours

is it not illegal to expose oneself in public outside punt rd oval? if there was a photo of a guys wang in the same place thats proof enough of indececent exposure? what about women? or do laws apply separately?

Just lie and say she said nothing and was happy for the photo to be taken and didnt request it deleted, stuff the bitch.
Stupid thing to do in hindsight but fair dinkum.

This is the biggest load of poo orchestrated by the ABC, when they cornered Peggy for this story to gain traction

Scum bags the lot of them and 100% this is chopstix all over again

Which part of the above didn't people understand 

Do not speculate, guess, post cryptic clues as to who it may or may not be

Can I make it any clearer???? 

It isn't bloody hard 

And yes I am fuming - as I said people know the rules, they haven't, don't and won't change in situations like this so I am at loss to understand why every time when something like this happens people ignore our requests.

Dooks. read my reply. I made it clear I am talking about this case. And in this case the issue is the first photo and the fact it was posted on social media without the persons consent.

Yes it is illegal to expose ones self in public. But one would think if it would bloody hard to charge someone with indecent exposure when it's not clear who the person in the photo is. If the photo was of a bloke and it didn't show their face in the photo who could they be charged unless they were caught in the act? And facts are using your scenario if a photo of a bloke ended up on social media without the person's consent then they have every right to lodge a complaint and have it investigated by the cops

Going by what Jack said person in the 2nd photo is not the same person in the 1st photo and it is the 1st photo that is supposedly being investigated by the cops because of a complaint

Think you are drawing a very long bow to suggest there is a separate laws here.

It is also being reported on the HUN website that the police are investigating but I can't post that article as it's behind their pesky paywall

Here's the Herald-Sun article:

Nude photo of Richmond fan wearing player’s Tigers premiership medal to be investigated by police

Aleks Devic,
Herald Sun
11 October 2017

POLICE are probing a Richmond star over a topless photo scandal showing a young woman wearing his AFL Premiership medal.

The woman has claimed she is a victim of revenge porn after the images of her topless were widely circulated online and through text messages without her permission or knowledge.

The Herald Sun can confirm the AFL Integrity Unit is investigating the leaked photo and has been dealing with the woman for several days.

It can be revealed while the female consented to the photo being taken, the Richmond player told her it had been deleted from his phone.

But instead, he kept the picture and sent it out to his friendship circle.

The story was broken exclusively on heraldsun.com.au at 7.15pm.

Victoria Police said in a statement: “Yarra Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating an image distributed on social media. The image was posted without consent. As the investigation is ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

The person who sent the images could be charged under “sexting” laws where adults who send intimate images without the consent of the other person face charges.

The offence carries a maximum penalty of up to two years in prison.

The photo emerged last week and was taken after Richmond’s triumphant Grand Final win over Adelaide sparking wild celebrations across the city.

The bare-breasted woman has also engaged lawyers to represent her during the process.

AFL spokesman Patrick Keane refused to comment on the incident.

“We don’t have any statement to provide you,” Mr Keane said.

Richmond president Peggy O’Neal, the league’s first female club president, said an investigation into the leaked photos would likely occur and described it as “terrible judgment”.

“If it turns out that it is disrespectful to women, we certainly don’t stand for that. That’s not what our club’s about and if someone has made a disrespectful and humiliating gesture, then of course it will be taken into account,” she told ABC.

“That isn’t what we’re about, it isn’t what the AFL’s about. I think that our club has shown it’s for equality, it’s for inclusiveness, and it wants to promote women.”

The identity of the Richmond player who took the photo while the woman wore his medal has not been revealed.

A second photo has also emerged online showing another woman posing nude outside Tigers HQ baring the Richmond logo on it.

The Richmond Football Club on Tuesday night declined to comment on the police probe.

I find it strange that nowadays when we take photos with a phone the person allowing the photo to be taken does not expect it to be shared. Especially a photo like that!

Incredible.

Question:  If your Mrs lets you take a nude of her in the bedroom for your eyes only, how would she feel if she saw it all over social media the next week?

Is it disrespectful to share it without consent?

Your daughter came to you bawling and in distress..........
"Dad, I've done something stupid and now it's all over social media"

What happened sweety?

"I was out celebrating, I met a cute guy, we had a great time and we hooked up.
We were mucking around and I stupidly let him take a photo of me topless. I thought he was a nice guy and he said we'd meet up again. Next day my picture is all over social media. I'm so stupid!"


Question: What do you do Dad?

[YellowandBlackBlood]

It may be disrespectful but getting police involved is over the top.

If the person is someone's partner I think it is a different situation. As a partner you have trust and a mutual love for one another. It is very different to a person you may have just met especially if you have had too much to drink. Exposing yourself to a drunk footballer and letting him take photos of you and then expecting them to stay private is naive. Of course it would depend if they explicitly said that they are not to be posted or shared makes it a different situation.

I have daughters so that is easy. I would tell her that she was stupid and that she's jeopardised her future employment. I can't blame the guy if she was so stupid.
It would be different if he took those photos without her consent.
