why arent msm all over bs in court, surely the local papers would want to cover it, cant find anything?
Mr O'Brien argued those two factors meant publication of the Victorian case could "grossly prejudice" an upcoming Campbelltown trial, due to start in February.
The court heard some of the Victorian charges mirror those Spedding faces in NSW and involve one of the same complainants.
Mr O'Brien argued in the age of social media publication of the details of the Victorian charges against Spedding would lead to "perverse, unusual and bizarre results".
However, he also stated to the court that Spedding would apply to have that NSW trial permanently stayed in September.
Magistrate Mark Stratmann
refused the suppression order application, ruling properly directed jurors could be trusted to judge evidence on its own merit, regardless of media reports.

According to court documents, there is evidence that Mr Spedding shared the girls with other men, and he was allegedly present with other men when the girls performed sex acts on each other. This investigation involves a number of child victims and
“there is evidence of other adult offenders”, police allege.
Many of the alleged offences took place in Victoria and involve “not only further offences committed against the victims in this matter, but also further victims”.
“There is evidence of other adult offenders who are complicit in similar child-sex offences both independently of and in conjunction with the accused in this matter,” according to the court documents.......
Mr Spedding, who will face court again in June, has recently approached one of his alleged victims, asking her to state she was not abused, court documents allege: “After he has become aware of police making enquiries concerning he and the Tyrrell matter, the accused has commenced contacting those known to him requesting they provide him with statutory declarations endorsing his good character.”
One alleged victim told police “the accused has directly lobbied her for a declaration that states he did not sexually abuse her or similar when she was a child”.

Maybe the local parers can't cover it bear.
Does it seem that the police know who these other adult offenders are? I wonder if they are denying it until their final breath as well?
