I haven’t seen the text and don’t really want to.

There is a post on reddit that suggests it was made up in a footy club group chat.
Yep, I just saw that too. People are encouraging this type of filth by asking for this text & sharing.

Bunch of sicko's.

Bizarre, I've seen the same people lecturing others for speculating about this case whilst asking for this text to be sent to them.

shorsky I couldn’t see anyone replying to this yet. The pic was one of several attached to a post on the clubs FB page celebrating Round 1 of the 2021 season. There were a few nasty comments aimed at the parents that appeared under it shortly after PS’s arrest, so it got removed fairly quickly. The rest of it is still up - the post is dated 21 Apr 2021.
Thanks Irma. … so it’s a couple of years old.

But I still can’t find a resemblance with the pictures of him on his recent ‘party night’…. guess it must be him though.

The picture certainly looks like him. Just a different haircut and a bit chubbier.
The eyes are the same.

This text message that many want a copy of is definitely going to be a hoax when not even the Daily Mail is prepared to go anywhere near it.

Let's move on from it thanks.
What do you mean? If we look at a certain other board on the main forum if there isn’t a text message from a brothers mates boss about the situation/rumour/the happening then it can’t be true at all.

Text message screen shot is the only form of truth I’ll ever believe on this forum :sunglasses:

Spent 6 happy years in Ballarat before recently returning home to Adelaide. Was told by a local that the head of surveillance at the Ballarat police station received an early morning call to urgently ‘bug’ Stephenson’s place of residence. Police were watching him closely so knew when the coast was clear. The arrest happened a couple of days later.
 
The police have a couple of new investigative tools we're not allowed to know about yet. Some information we got through the Cleo Smith investigation but I'm not sure if that information was a bit of a red herring because they really don't want to tell us what it is. That information was software that can go back in time and plot movements by overlaying the data.

There's something like Israel's Pegasus spyware, software that can be installed remotely and which gives complete access to the target's phone or device, all of it, including text messages.

It wouldn't surprise me if they can listen in actually.
What you’ve described is quantum computing (being able to plot movements) and I’ve also heard calls can be dictated/searched for keywords automatically through AI.
 
Watch if the Maggie court next Fri is flooded with media, if so I can only see it getting worse.
What are the laws on reporting an accused person's past criminal record/history whilst they are awaiting court on a current matter?

Don't we normally only find out an accused person's criminal history after they've been convicted?

Unless they are already a well known crim, of course.

I'm not sure actually. You could be right!

I must admit I know alot more about US true crime and legal system than here.

There’s also a couple of not very good, but more recent photo’s in this rather ghoulish Daily Mail ragpiece that was posted a few pages back.
