Discharged with lifetime name suppression.

Judith Hobson is the victim of the Grannybasher at the @ThePosieParker event in Auckland's Albert Park on the 25th of March, 2023.

Here is her reaction outside the courthouse to today's sentencing of her assailant.

This is disappointing but unsurprising. Sentencing is weak here (rapists on home detention because prison will be too hard for them), and name suppression is given out easily. Far too much consideration seems to be given to the effect on the perpetrator rather than the victim.

I now live in NZ and the situation is shocking.
Wellington , where the incident happened, is like the woke Capital of the world but not on a good way.
A bit different around the rest of the country but NZ culture is quite misogynistic .

Auckland, not Wellington

His name is trending on twitter. Have to say he doesn't look much like a law student or a sportsman.

HirplesWithHaggis · 05/03/2024 02:33

His face was all over my Twitter feed yesterday. Glad he's been identified.

So ADHD is now a legal excuse for VAWG? Marvellous.
I know a couple of young men with diagnosed ADHD and neither of them would lay a finger on anyone.
This is absolutely shocking.

Reading between the lines, he is probably a law student, and a conviction of this nature would prevent him from becoming a lawyer.

Mind you, I think Lauren Hubbard’s convictions were also given name suppression (not indefinite though) for the same reason. So perhaps a sportsman?

Lauren Hubbard has convictions?

Lauren Hubbard has convictions?

Caused serious injury by dangerous driving. Given name suppression due to trying to qualify for the olympics. Ironic, given the serious spinal injuries suffered by the innocent victim.

Actions have consequences - or at least they should. Nobody forced this tall, strapping man to repeatedly bash a defenceless grandmother. He did that all by himself. On camera. And yet the law is bending over backwards to pander to him.

Here’s a thought. If you don’t want to ruin your future job prospects, maybe don’t go round punching elderly women in the face.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 05/03/2024 13:50

It’s not going to damage his job prospects because NZ Courts has bent over backwards to protect little Goat Gruff from suffering any consequences for his actions, which I have no doubt he knew they would. It’s the epitome of woke bro male entitlement.

SinnerBoy · 05/03/2024 15:05

Well, his name is now out on Twitter and any prospective employers will no doubt search for his name.

IcakethereforeIam · 05/03/2024 15:23

Is that a common name in NZ. Sounds like someone punched the vicar in the balls just as he was being christened. That might explain a few things.

There's a new Government in NZ. Is it meet the new lot, same as the old lot?

I've just seen how much of her victim impact statement she wasnt allowed to read out!

https://twitter.com/SimonRAnderson/status/1764795430393782588?s=19

"The prosecution and defence were perturbed at the content of Judith Hobson's Victim Impact Statement in the case of the Grannybasher at @ThePosieParker event.
Here is the statement. She was prohibited from saying the strikethrough redactions in court."

Is that him?

Boiledbeetle · 05/03/2024 16:02

Yep.

IcakethereforeIam · 05/03/2024 16:05

His features are too small for his face.

SinnerBoy · 05/03/2024 16:09

Ugly looking twerp, isn't he? Must be all that hate he's full of.

EsmaCannonball · 05/03/2024 16:13

If you punch elderly women then everyone should know your name and you should be barred from professions where respect for the law and safeguarding are paramount. Commit some unintentional infraction of the new 'progressive' orthodoxy and you will be denounced and shamed on a global scale but go around punching pensioners and you get sympathy and full protection. Humanity is so fucked right now.
