​

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...

Considering SHE hit HIM first why isn't she being charged too?

Fuck this guy. There's no excuse for violent abuse. Especially to a pregnant woman. Hope she does the right thing and leaves him. Can't stand guys who think it's efficient to beat them instead of just being vocal.

So guys should just get abused instead?

I don't believe I said that. "Can't stand guys who think it's efficient to beat them instead of just being vocal." I'm not saying EVERY guy. Just those who lack common sense in this regard.

You do know in the states that "Getting vocal" is still assault and an arrest-able charge?

(no.. I'm really not trying to be an ass here, simply asking because most people don't)

I'm from the UK so I'm not too familiar with US law.

Yep.. Learned that the hard way. Was arrested for simple assault cause I was yelling at a lady who illegally had a non service dog in Wal-Mart.

I remember that woman who was supposed to help me at school
I once went to see her because some guy was intimidating me
She told me something like
People.dont intimidate others for nothing
You surely have done something to attract their insults

I remember not that long after that, i got intimidated by another guy and i broke after being intimidated my whole life
Sadly, i stabbed the guy in the leg with a compass

If it’s a once in a while slap I don’t think people need to escalate it to a huge deal. Things happen.

OMFG! are you serious?! What the hell is wrong with you that you think it is ok to hit your wife "once in a while".

Un-Fucking-Believable!

 

[Tigran]

Hey, if a woman hits me... she gets hit back.

I'm all for equality.

exactly, I always said that
We shouldn't hit ANYONE, not even men
but if I get hit, I don'T care if youre a woman or a man
I'll defend myself

This is so sad and there's more reasons why Fortnite is cancerous.

I didn’t say that. I don’t think hitting is ok anytime. But things happen and I just don’t think it’s court worthy of it’s a once in a while thing. If not then a lot of people would be in court.

At least the wife can get a protection order against him.

Fortnight itself has nothing to do with this.. and if anything he needs a protection order against her.

He should be sent to jail just for playing fornite....honestly what kind of piece of sh*t hits his wife for a videogame, damn some dudes need to grow some balls and be a real man, a real man doesn't hit his wife period.

I guess real wife don't throw shit at their husband
They don't yell at him and break their working tools
right?

If he was playing in VR, he might have been able to properly ignore his wife and place better than 8th while avoiding physical conflict.
