24/2/16 SMH REPORTING ON SKD COURT CASE

[Guest]

I was just reading the Daily Telegraph and she has more or less admitted she only contacted police after both SKD and the Club rejected her demands for cash, accommodation, etc.

As mentioned by others how did this delusional talentless woman think she was about to become an Olympic athlete by complaining, doing cocaine, partying and being drunk.

sounds like SKD's representatives are doing a good job of destroying the character of Peris, his one major problem still seems to be his admission of punching the wall when Peris was in the vicinity.

how that incident is ruled on will have a major say on whether any conviction is recorded.

Mr Kenny-Dowall's barrister, Ian Temby, QC, tendered an explosive letter on Thursday sent from Ms Peris to Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan on June 30, 2015, days after the couple had an allegedly violent fight and broke up.
In the letter, Ms Peris told Mr Canavan about the "sensitive situation", adding that it was her second abusive relationship after a partner in Darwin was convicted of assaulting her.
She rejected an earlier offer from the Roosters to provide her with shelter and a car for one month after the break up.
Instead, she asked Mr Canavan to provide her with six months of accommodation, six months use of a car and one month's income.
"I'm undecided as to whether or not to report this to police," she said in the letter, Mr Temby told the court. "I'd prefer this not to become public."
She told Mr Canavan she was bankrupt. The court heard she was not working at the time and had large debts she was struggling to meet, including repayments on her car that had been re-possessed.
Her proposal was rejected by the club.
"It wasn't until you found out that there would be no material support forthcoming that you went to police," Mr Temby asked.
"In a sense sir, yes," she said.
However, Ms Peris denied that the rejection was the reason she went to police, saying she was still considering reporting Mr Kenny-Dowall when she sent the letter.
She had earlier told the court that she spoke to club liaison officer Cathy King in the days after the break-up, to ask for help in recovering some of her belongings from the couple's Maroubra apartment.
Ms King arranged for her to go to the apartment when Mr Kenny-Dowall wasn't there.
About three weeks later, Ms Peris went to police.

I probably feel too passionate about this topic.

It seems in 2016 that women are allowed to bully and intimidate men emotionally, yet after 2000 years of evolution men are required to act with dignity and grace when feminism only evolved 30 years ago.

Most good men I know, can establish the difference between right and wrong.
The problen we currently we have as a society is the demonising of male aggression without acknowledging FEMALE aggression.
I am sure Shaun regrets punching a wall.
It doesn't make him a violent wife bashing criminal, does it???

Christ knows that is what he has been labelled as.


As a society we are in transition period. The rise of women with the fall of men.

It is a consistent and subtle theme.

Whilst I agree that women have been unfairly disadvantaged in the workplace, I cannot passively support the unfair marginalisation of men in the family courts that have been evident over the last 15 years.

Again, this will slowly shift back I hope.

This case on face value is a joke, a grab for money driven by a political mother with agendas that outweigh a young footballer trying to emotionally navigate a broken heart.

Case dismissed.

Although not a purely football post.

To me, a survivor of a tumultuous relationship with a ruthless, calculating and manipulative former partner, this is probably the best post I have ever read on this site. Utterly brilliant and thought provoking.

Yeah I agree. Its no big deal really and I am sure many of us have done something similar at some point in our lives. However, in the current political climate it seems a young man displaying anger is in itself viewed as an act of violence. Obviously such an action could be used to intimidate but really this just sounds like an ugly relationship that turned bad. Peris is a mess and thought she was entitled to something. When that was not forthcoming she has attempted to destroy her ex. SKD's defence team certainly seem to be doing a good job establishing reasonable doubt.

Only my opinion but when 2 people have a different opinion on domestic violence events that happen between them they both make things up & they both tell lies. If she has photos of the bruising on her arm I believe he will be found guilty of assault causing actual bodily harm & if he admits to smashing her phone he will be found guilty of malicious damage. The stalking spraying her with a drink & kicking her out of bed will be thrown out because it cant be proved.

Thank god you are not a judge...

Melbourne Cups aren't won at the first turn, and Temby has run many a long race.

Should have just given her what she wanted. What's another 5 months car and shelter worth versus the risk of conviction, damaging publicity and potential to end his career.

If money was the motivation she'd have settled by now. She has as much to lose as he does here. Makes me worry more about the outcome. I don't think she'd pursue it if she didn't believe strongly that he's acted really inappropriately and is confident he'll be convicted. Why else would you allow your personal life to be displayed by the media to the public.

It depends on whether he's guilty or not, innit?

If he is guilty, then there's no need to sweep it under the rug. If he isn't, then I presume he'll be ok.

That's pretty poor advice really. Effectively you are admitting guilt and would look even worse if she decided to press for charges later on. I don't understand why you think she would have settled if money was her motivation, no one was prepared to pay her any money.

It's not admitting guilt. It's looking after the welfare of team mates partner. I didn't say they had to hide it. And since skd has already admitted to some of the allegations, I'm quite sure that going to court would have been the least desirable outcome. I don't believe he will come out of this unscathed.

That's the thing. If he isn't guilty why would perris take him to court? The fact that she uses cocaine should be enough for her to lose her own sponsorships and run into problems competing for Australia at the Olympics. She may be a moron but I doubt she is silly enough to risk her career and reputation on a lie which would inevitably be proven so.

I just don't think you are really thinking this through. She walks in and says Shaun bashed me and was abusive in our relationship. The club asks Shaun and he denies the claims completely, why should the club be overly concerned with the welfare of a devious lying, manipulative human being who is happy to slander one of the clubs representatives? How would Shaun feel knowing the club is propping her up based on her lies? You think he might feel let down? What has been written so far is the tip of the iceberg. The club did the right thing by Shaun to say no.
