​

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...

Abuse is abuse. You don't get to decide what is or isn't simply because you wish it or one side of it was at the hands of the weaker sex. Even in the eyes of the law, if you throw something at someone else or you hit them, even if you are weak or you didn't do any damage even at the end, you are intending to and causing another person bodily harm. Her causing him no harm in her actions doesn't mean her actions were not abuse and for anyone who thinks this way, you are part of the problem of abuse getting away, especially so when it is done to men and little boys (they become afraid, ashamed and unwilling to voice it). NO abuse is acceptable.

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

First off, the video never showed him actually even touch her, but it did show her throwing things at him and antagonizing him even after he repeatedly told her to go away and stop. Although I am willing to bet that he probably did slap her, there is absolutely no proof of it.

My ex used to scream all the time "STOP HITTING ME" when I didn't lay a finger on her and in fact she was the one abusing me. Why did she do it? Because she just wanted to get me in trouble and have other people beat me up with her. It is not uncommon for women to do this type of shit for attention. I have seen many other situations where woman were crying and saying that were being hurt and abused but no one did a single thing to them.

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.

Except that he didn't hit her over a video game. She kept throwing things at him despite his repeated asking her to stop. This isn't some guy who just started beating his wife because the TV was too loud. This is a person snapping because his wife kept throwing things at him.

Not that I justify violence, but they both could have been more than immature crybabies about making an earning from video games. Money is money and a job is a job, they should be more like adults and deal with it.

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

He still deserves what he's getting tho, he should've been the bigger man here instead of slapping her in the face in front of kids then returning back to Fortnite like nothing happened.
She probably was fed up with him already thus treating him that way but like you said, both made mistakes.
Now how severe the mistakes were I'll leave that to each and everyone of us to think.

well im glaD I dont have kids or a nagging wife and live alone with my cat

 

[RedBlueGreen]

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

Is constantly throwing things at your partner in front of the kids okay?
Even if she was already fed up with him that's no excuse to start throwing shit at him deliberately. What she did is just as bad, and she started it, so let's not pretend that he just randomly started beating her in front of the kids.

What an absolute sack of shit

Seems to be a theme here...

The biggest takeaway here. They're not being ideal parents. Every relationship sees its share of disagreements. How they both handled things is indicative of how their relationship has been overall. Very poor judgment and actions on their part. BOTH are to blame AND BOTH are just as toxic. What would have happened if the kids were collateral damage in their tantrum.. How would this thread have panned out. We'll never know.

Exactly, it's not one-sided, both are to blame and should be a better example. I hate to be that guy, but some people shouldn't deserve to have children if they're going to be a bad example in front of them. They're impressionable and psychological damage is almost always more damaging and long-lasting as physical abuse.

This is true. They both need some psych evaluations and psychological help..

Time for someone to get a vasectomy IMO, or a pysch eval, not sure.

well im glaD I dont have kids or a nagging wife and live alone with my cat

same though he can be a pain in the butt i still love my cat though no body else wanted him (since he was born 5 years ago)

 

[Bimmel]

The next wife he'll have will be a "W1fe: BDSM Edition". Then this problem is solved forever. Awesome!

 

[Bevr]

Dude's a fuckin' idiot for leaving his stream on during that. Neither of these 2 should have kids and hopefully they can be adopted into a real family while they're still young.

 

[Hyborix3]

Even if the Wife is at fault too, you don’t justify it with your own violence/abuse. Should’ve turn the game and stream off, find some help instead of losing your cool and making you infamous

I think they were using betterhelp app and had the same bot as the counselor =)

 

[Aletron9000]

Wow, Fortnite really drives people to do crazy things. That guy is a jerk.

 

[erikas]

Now really, am i the only one who saw that she was throwinf stuff at him? He didn't start the physical confrontation and now his life is fucking over. Just switch the genders and imagine the headline "strong brave twitch streamer gives her abusive husband a taste of his own medicine"

YouTube recommended me a track from Angerfist at the end of this video. Perfect fucking timing.
