​

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...

This. If people were to actually view the video, it's not like he flew into a burst of rage for no reason, and started slapping the shit out of his wife. I'm not defending the guy by any means, but the wife isn't completely innocent. She antagonized him by throwing shit at him, after he told her to stop like 10 times.

I think the most sad part of this entire thing, is that this all happened in front of a child.

Did you stop and consider that maybe she antagonised him deliberately knowing he would hit her because maybe he does it all the time and maybe she used his livestream as a cry for help.

Stupid

Ah, yes. The good ol bait and switch. I abuse you, so you abuse me and I win. Really?

Yeah... That's not how battered wife syndrome works.

If she was willing to go that far, she would have just gotten hit and go to the police with the bruises to prove it.

This actually sounds more like a ploy to get him arrested and to take the kids.

 

[Kioku]

Some of you in here need a reality check. It's an obviously toxic relationship. Not just on his side, either. You don't just throw shit and potentially break stuff just because. There's obviously issues in both of them, and to do it in front of children makes it worse. No, not just her being slapped, also her being a dramatic tweak... But of course, he's a guy, and he hit a woman, she did nothing wrong and blah blah blah..

1970: "hey there 2018, this is 1970 calling. Are you having flying cars and awesome stuff already? Do you all live in space or so?"
2018: "ahh its complicated. actually all people over the world can watch how someone is playing a game and beats his wife during this! oh but don't worry - he will get in prison... I think."
1970: "... *hangs up*"

Anything to excuse the women huh?

Anything to excuse the women huh?

I almost feel sorry to say it but youre right
If shes the one doing all these shit just to get hit...
Sorry but shes looking for trouble...

 

[Molhel]

Yes she was acting violent as well, but a real man NEVER hits a woman, let alone his WIFE. Not to mention, he did it while in the company of their child. There is no excuse for his actions, so don't try to justify it.

oh so women get a free ride on abuse? men should just suck it up? and oh, you don't think the woman abusing her husband in front of their child is bad? just when he does it? why do men have to live by these standards but not women?

stop with this terrible logic. her abusing him is just as bad, not a little bit okay, as him abusing her.

This episode remind me of Japan, about how they portrayed as ''Victims'' after WWII, despite all the war crimes they committed.
Sounds funny and weird huh? that a simple family affair makes me think about WWII, lol

If he had really beaten her, she wouldn't be crying for attention and continuing, she'd be unconscious with a switchblade up her c**t.

His only error was choosing fortnite over pubg. If he were on the latter, the rest no way he would be able to stomach it for more than an hour at a time.

@Soulsilve2010 @Yepi69 @zeveroth

So... you would just stand there and let me throw shit at you and take/destroy you're property? Great.

Depends, is slapping a woman in the face in front of your kids ok?

 

[Ev1l0rd]

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.

I'm sorry, but victim blaming really is the worst action you could take here.

 

[Kioku]

Is what she did in front of children okay? Don't act like what he did was worse.

Ha! Victim blaming! She's just as bad.

The children are the only victims Check the video ...

...Please tell me you're fucking joking.

A. From what I can hear and see on the video, she threw what sounded like a single pen at him (and considering the video doesn't even show it hitting him, she even missed). A pen isn't a lethal object. He responded by first throwing cardboard and then physically abusing her by hitting and slapping her several times. He is the one who escalated to physical abuse.
B. What she did was argue. We can debate all day on wether having a discussion in front of your children is a bad thing, but he is the one who escalated it.

She did not at any point engage in physical abuse and certainly not enough to validate the degree at which he responded. That makes him objectively speaking the bad guy in this situation.

What you are doing is equating/justifying having a regular argument or what at worst constitutes as throwing a pen at you (and if you think that equates getting beaten up, let me introduce you to high school where way worse gets thrown at people) with punching a pregnant woman in front of her children.

I can't believe I have to fucking explain to people why it's not normal to fucking hit someone several times over getting an object thrown at you.

@tinbs all the local news outlets seem to think this is due to violent video games

It's clear you're not paying attention to anything other her being hit. If you're not able to accept actual facts and evidence (video is enough honestly) then I've got nothing more to say. Your bias is too much and clouds reasonable judgment. Byeeee

Then detail it for me. Lay it out. You can't just point at the video and say "okay this is all the proof you need". I gave you my view of the video after you supplied it as "actual facts and evidence" and showed you the facts and evidence I drew from it, which you seem to disagree with, so please, lay out to me in detail (so in the same fashion I did) what you concluded from watching this video.

And again with the "bias". You really seem to have some kinda boner for that word. Always when I contradict you, you just ignore it with saying that my bias is clouding reasonable judgement.

Reasonable judgement is based on what we see and what we know from the sources, is it not? Then how could my judgement be unreasonable if I quite literally explain my reasoning in detail.

I didn't know real man meant doormat. Nobody should hit anybody. Period. It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. Woman who think that they can get away with hitting guys because they're women deserve what happens after. Sorry to say but women aren't some frail species that you need to walk on eggshells around.
