The replies here... obviously upsetting their Aussie male sense of colonialist masculinity .

He was Boney Maroney from the Canberra Musical!!!

He would only accept pay and wave!!!!

He was looking for a user pay system!!!

Naughty boy

For everyone in the comments excusing and minimising rape, because they’re men and/or sex workers: you’re part of the problem and your attitudes are disgusting

I see thief by deception, but rape?

To the victims, live long and prosper ❤

Is The Law really that broken or is this also a part-time judge? Consent was given, it just wasn't paid for as agreed = breach of contract at worst.

Actors used to be outcastes. For a good reason.

FFS this is not rape, this is breach of contract. What a stupid adjudication process....must be a brain dead judge!

so Selby_Cameron contributing to calling things rape that aren't rape, calling it so devalues actual victims. I guess we've got another ABC journalist on the list.

Bummer 🤔

raping a girl would get some1 12years but raping men is only 4yrs?

Obtaining financial gain by deception, isn't rape.

Money up front, always!

A Fyshwick business? 🤔

Does non payment for freely given services now = rape when you fail to pay? Seems so.

This is more of a Pay Dispute rather than a raping If ABC had paid him more maybe He would of paid?

Wow, deceptively normal looking fellow.... scary

Pathetic sentence. Who cares about his mental health. What about his victim's mental health. I hope he gets his comeuppance in jail.

I trust the ABC will show better judgement in future and not employ him again.
