Tarryn Thomas appeared in Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court today where an initial charge of threatening to distribute an intimate image was withdrawn.
An alternative charge of using a carrier service to menace/harass was dealt with by diversion following police recommendation and after consultation with the complainant.
No conviction was recorded.
Thomas was ordered to pay a $1000 fine to a court fund, which will be distributed to charities in the local area.
The magistrate recognised the courses that Thomas has completed in recent months and that his actions indicated he’d taken the matter seriously.
Thomas acknowledged that his behaviour was unacceptable and apologised for his actions.
The club will not be making any further comment at this time.
