EDIT: And 7news, link here: North Melbourne young gun charged by police over ‘intimate image’ threat

Tarryn Thomas has been charged with a single count of threatening to distribute an intimate image.

In addition, Thomas was stopped by police while driving with a suspended licence during the Christmas break.

The club has informed the AFL’s Integrity Unit and the AFLPA on both matters and the club will continue to work with Thomas regarding behavioural expectations.

North Melbourne will not make any further comment at this time.

You’d think the fact he was charged with “threatening” to do it means it’s not a huge guess to say it could almost be blackmail? “I’ll send it if you don’t do X/Y/Z”.

Scummy act.

Yup, god help the journo that reported the news.

What penalty is he looking at? Probably a fine and good behaviour?

Mr Thomas, for such a serious offence, significant deterrence is required. I hereby sentence you to another 5 years at Arden Street.

North Melbourne "star"?

The maximum for this offence in Vic is 1 year imprisonment.

Without any details on the severity of this case, repeated nature, type of threats then it’s all guess work but you would assume some type of good behaviour bond and contact restrictions towards the victim at a minimum (assuming found guilty of course).

 

[Engimal v3]

His career will be over before he knows it if he keeps this shit up.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Ugly, ugly act he's accused of. Needs jail time if guilty.

You're not doing this right. As a North supporter it is " nothing to see here "....what about GAS or the StKilda school girl

North Melbourne "star"?

Oxymoron right there

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Culcha

This bloke has been off the rails for a while.

What have Clarkson and Fagan got to do with it?

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

What have Clarkson and Fagan got to do with it?

Fagan, nothing. Clarkson, a lot.
With everything else, any sanction given to an indigenous player will get scrutiny and the questions of "did they go soft so Clarkson didn't look harsh on an indigenous player" and/or "was the club penalty hard because Clarkson forced it on an indigenous player" will be asked.
Most likely both will be asked and by the same people, almost certainly in the same breath by Caro.

It'll be interesting. When it happened to dane Swan, the perpetrator got no punishment (and the photos were actually circulated)

 

[dazzledavey36]

Just nuke the joint for good and start this dam Tassie team in place.

Fool

If true he should be booted from the AFL.

I may be mistaken, but has the law not changed/tightened since then?

Anyway, the first charge is a massive scumbag thing to do, the second is meh and barely news worthy
