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...

Well the wife shouldn't have been a whiny bitch and never instigated any kind of kerfuffle, and you know, they both should have addressed the issue in a mature manner?

Exactly, and my advice for the guy would be: soundproof your gaming room and install a deadbolt. Happy wife, happy life.

How about we just wait until the trial starts and see if the wife and any other family members or friends might testify about what happened here and reveal any past cases of abuse before we go around calling her a bitch?

The Wife may have a point if all he does is play video games. But I don’t know their life so...

Yes, to the handle in a mature manner. I don’t believe in violence because it just escalates things to uneasesary levels and makes people more mad then before.

Even a small push or someone in your face yelling is still not good time use violence. You can still defuse those situations without any hitting involved and it won’t leave people bitter afterwards.

I think the only time for violence is in self defense when you really need it.

Maybe he does that, because he wants to stream a lot, to make tons of money, to support her and his kids? I don't know a whole lot about them either. But he was streaming, making money, and trying to support her and his kids.

She should have just left him alone to do his job. And once again, no, I don't justify slapping the shit out of her, esp since she's knocked up with his kid.

What I mostly think isn't just the assault but the entire situation. To what degree is streaming still a game to people who get payed for it? No...really: you can argue all you want whether or not it is a job, but either way you've got to come to terms with your partner on how and when you can't be disturbed. From the fragment I'd say that they did not have it. And really: with children that age in the house I'd say that not only should this have been agreed upon, but also clearly communicated. Unless, of course, you understand your position in this world, and ALWAYS PUT YOUR CHILDREN FIRST!!!!!

FFS. :angry:



I love how streamers are so fucking retarded that behaviour like this won't go unpunished as they are idiotic enough to broadcast it to the world.
You know what's even more funny...just two posts below yours

Honestly, if I were there I would of beaten the crap out of him for how he behaved.
Im against anything but self defence or to step in to someone who can't defend themselves and I think squaring up to a female in front of his two daughters is reprehensible and he doesn't deserve to be around them.
Yes, that'll help. Beat the crap of someone in a situation you only partially know...right in front of the same thousands of viewers that watch this stream. Certainly THAT will go unnoticed. :rolleyes:

While I agree with your logic and you're right, it wouldn't solve anything, I feel angry not that he hit his partner but that his daughters are growing up thinking that this is normal behaviour and so if it happened to them it would be considered normal.
While I don't agree with what he done with his partner, she is an adult and she has the choice to walk away or fight back.

And regardless of only knowing part of the situation there is no justifiable reason for one person to put there hands on another in an aggressive manner, let alone because someone's interrupting your video game, that's one of the most pathetic reasons I've heard, more so than waging war over which invisible man in the sky I believe in.

I hadn't read the remaining three pages of posts. Apparently did incident didn't just happen but was lead to this. Like you even say : there is no justifiably way for violence. It only invites more violence. That goes both ways : he is an adult as well, so when he gets thrown stuff at, he too has the choice to walk away or to fight back.

The better choice would have been to walk away.

I call bullshit on this. That's the "Happy thoughts!" solution. That doesn't work. As someone who moved all the time and thus was the "New kid" and bullied all the time if you don't do anything.. you just make them bolder and bolder, and when you go to actually get help people go "Oh.. Well -you- don't do anything about it, so it must not be a big issue!" until such people don't care who's around when they hit you, weather it be other students or even teachers or more. So when you do snap and hit back... suddenly you're the bad guy.

Not saying that this is a similar case, but the "Should walk away!" action doesn't always work.

"When the larger man walks away, the smaller man gets away with everything."

Okay then we agree : it's a different case to what you described*. Therefore the action might be the best. And I remain of the opinion that in this case, it beats the alternative.

I didn't mean to imply that walking away would be what you always should do.




* I take it I don't have to explain how "responding to school bullies" where nothing is at stake but a child's reputation and perhaps some bruises is a very different situation to "responding to your shouting pregnant wife in front of your children" where both your personal life and your career are at stake.

What a show of misogyny and generalizations this thread has become. 1 woman starts to throw things at a man = "men should not be treated as slaves by worthless women". Wow. It's pretty sad that the internet is filled to the brim with people who think like this. If it isn't "male superiority", then I really don't know what is.
Show these SJW's that you are going to hit back a woman! That'll put them in their place \s

Maybe. I mentioned what you said a few pages before. But I don’t know their situation and who is in the wrong. Just bringing out other alternatives to explain the situation.

All I know is people are mostly going to target the guy regardless of who started it. People were saying that she was hitting him but I couldn’t tell watching the video.

If it’s a once in a while slap I don’t think people need to escalate it to a huge deal. Things happen. That’s where you get the 1 in 6 statistic, but they usually lump minor offenses which is the majority that usually subside and not repeat again. People should be more concerned if it’s a repeating abuse.
