Fortnite Twitch streamer who allegedly slapped wife on stream has appeared in court

fICScza.png

26-year-old Twitch streamer MrDeathMoth (real name Luke James Munday), having recently been caught while streaming Fortnite allegedly assaulting his 21-year-old pregnant partner, has appeared in Australian court on charges of Common Assault.

Pictured above at the time of the incident, after this various noises can be heard along with his partner exclaiming "Don’t hit me in the face".

He was previously convicted of a different violent offence 7 years ago (not domestic related), and prosecution believes they have a strong case thanks to the "numerous independent witnesses to the offence as a portion of the incident was livestreamed”.



The case has been adjourned to January 10th to give time for the defendant to get legal advice.

While initially widely reported online that both him and his partner had been arrested, there is no confirmation of this and it looks unlikely at this time. Two girls aged three and 20 months were home at the time of the livestream.

What do you think? Not much is actually known about this case other than the accused having a previous violent history, and only audio was captured of the alleged assault. As streaming becomes more mainstream, cases like these will inevitably continue - hopefully without silly accusations like 'he was playing a violent videogame' as I saw one headline read...

The problem isn't just the stream, but his partner as well. Just listen to their freaking children screaming their lungs out. Must be very common place in that household. I would recommend they split up and the mother(?) takes the kids with her. She was 18 when she got her first child then, if it's hers.

Yeah. If that happens just file a divorce or a restraining order if things get bad. I mean, it´s totally cool (NOT COOL) nowadays to point out men who hit women, but people rarely see both sides. While I would beat that guy, I don´t totally think his fiancee was an angel and never did something wrong either (ie, things that aren´t "seen", such as her being a real bitch and having sex with others while smiling and acting as a child). You know, these kind of stuff.

There´s always two sides. And when these things happen, we just see the last straw.

disgusting guy. he gets to play games for a living (i don't know but i'm assuming he is/was a popular streamer, so lots of $$$ to enjoy?), has a partner with 2 kids and 1 on the way and he acts like this...
wow
 
Why are so many streamers on YT such assholes? Someone needs to slap him back or at least kick him in the balls.

I agree, it was actually TWO children, a 3 year old and a 20 months old... unbelievable that these two might have conceived three times...

Eww, they got it on? Should've used a condom.
 
I grew up around drugs and domestic violence and people like this make me sick to my stomach. With that said, he'll be ripped to shreds in prison.
 
She basicaly was throwing various items at him, which could or could not be dangerous... he asked MULTIPLE TIMES (apparently 68, kudos for him for this kind of patience) but without any results and used force only as last choice?

I'm sorry, who's the abusive part of this partnership - One that was throwing shit at their partner or one that after a 4 minutes of non-stop asking her to stop just decided to... you know... protect himself?
I don't realy care if she's pregnant and she's a woman - She provoked him clearly and was probably aware that he's pissed off. But oh well, we live in a world where legal system is rigged, media is lying and blind people are screeching WEEE, CASTRATE HIM! without even checking the full story...

...I hope that God has another great flood or some shit in preparation, we need hard reset as civilization.

Just swap the roles - imagine is she was streaming and he was constantly harassing her, then started throwing things at her and hitting her, how would ppl react?
This guy is wrong but his wife is very abusive too. Also 3 kids and according to guy's comment on video at 3:07 he pays for all the bills.
 
I'm pretty sure this is real. Why would you set this up? There's nothing to gain from it. And it's not like I'm now suddenly going to follow him or something.

Well this has pretty much spread all across the internet so if they wanted attention they sure got it. All publicity is good publicity.

Also for all the people feeling bad for the wife if you actually look into it you'll find that they're both equally terrible.

The wife was complaining that he plays too much games which was the center of the argument. But if that’s his source of income why was she complaining if he’s trying to pay the bills. I’m working here, let me play my gamez.

I almost thougnt this was satire. Who’s this stupid to beat their pregnant wife in front of potentially thousands? They better not link the cause to the game though, getting tired of that sort of nonsense.
They would link it to game addiction. And video games are bad for families. People spend too much on games and not on their kidz.

That doesn't justify his slapping her, and maybe some people shouldn't conceive; 7.4 billion people is enough
 
We really don't know enough from the video. No, he shouldn't have slapped her in the face, I don't condone that at all. But she was throwing shit at him first, and he shouldn't have repeatedly had to say no like that. It really sounds like she was trying to egg him on to do it. And yeah, had the roles been reversed I'm sure many of the people here would still be on the woman's side. Gender inequality sucks. It sounds like this relationship was already headed down the drain, but what we don't know is whether or not the woman was deliberately trying to get him to slap her on stream so she'd have a case against him.

Sure make sense
We dont know how many cause of domestic violence were actually caused by women
But the man was arrested because he slapped her once after he warned her 100 time to stop harrsssing him
I mean, if it was me, i probably would have broken a while before if i was constantly harrassed
I dont defend whay he did or what i wouldve done
But sometime, ita just hard not to break after being harrassed for a long while

Prior to the stream, she was also hitting him. Sounds like they were fit for each other, the weirdos.
