Man faces court over unsolicited pornography allegations

A MAN who filmed himself engaging in sex and uploaded the film to a pornographic website has been arrested.

Police charged the 26-year-old on Thursday (January 7) with distributing intimate images without consent.

The accused man filmed the sexual act without the victim’s knowledge or consent on July 24 last year.

The victim reported the matter to ACT police on September 5 after allegedly discovering the footage on a pornography website.

The video has since been removed by the website administrators.

The man is facing the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday.

Relatively new in the city on Bunda Street, Botswa

Relatively new in the city on Bunda Street, Botswana Butchery is a steakhouse extraordinaire with an uncertain future, writes dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

The Botswana Butchery went into voluntary liquidation – along with its Sydney and Melbourne locations – on March 31. But it is still trading.

Botswana Butchery sure loves its meat and game, but fish is also celebrated (prawns, scallops, lobster included). Classic, beautifully presented dishes showcase quality produce and gorgeous rich sauces. Established in NZ, the emphasis is on fun and flavour, as well as chef and culinary director Angel Fernandez’s Chilean heritage, which adds spice and intrigue.

At Botswana Butchery you can select something light and easy or go for a more fulsome three-course lunch or dinner.

“We might be old, we might be disabled, but we’re still part of the community,” says Chris Walburn, 76, in response to the YMCA’s decision to cease operations at The Y Chifley Health and Wellness Centre (The Y).

Due to paralysis on his left side, Chris needs assistance with walking and he says most gyms do not have the necessary support staff to help him get to different machines – preventing him from being able to regularly exercise.

For Albert Oberdorf, 80, The Y has played a critical role in his recovery from blood cancer and prostate cancer.

Albert says he was given two options for a rehabilitation gym, an expensive private facility or The Y Chifley Health and Wellness Centre (The Y).

“Fifteen years on, I’m still here,” says Albert.

He says The Y is “probably one of the best gyms I’ve been to in five different countries,” but on March 12, the announcement of closure was given.

“It was my 80th birthday… it wasn’t good news,” he says.

Tom, Chris, Pam and Albert all say the list of alternative gyms provided by the YMCA were inadequate for their needs, and will leave a large number of people, young and old, without an option for safe exercise.

Pam Harris’ parents died from Chronic Obstructiv

Pam Harris’ parents died from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease at relatively early ages.

“They didn’t have the medications we have and the know-how,” says Pam, a 20-year member of the Canberra Lung Life Support Group.

“I promised my mum at the first sign of it, I would give away the cigarettes, and that was the hardest thing I ever did, I think.

“I was diagnosed [with COPD] in 2001 and I went to a specialist and he sent me on to a course called Pulmonary Rehab

“That taught you a lot about what the disease was and how it could affect you and so forth.

From her visits to the gym, Pam was introduced to the Canberra Lung Life Support Group.

The group was formed in 1998 and is a volunteer-led social network supported by Lung Foundation Australia, says Marina Siemionow, co-ordinator since 2019.

One of the main things that the group tries to encourage is better understanding of diagnoses.

“People leave being diagnosed with very little information, and therefore no support,” says Marina.
