David Bourke with:
There is overwhelming evidence that you are a devious pervert, "Judge Manus Boyer told police sergeant James Arthur Marriner as he passed sentence on him in Brisbane District Court. "You realised that The Christian Brethren are innocent and wild-eyed people who lead sheltered and unworldly lives, and you cynically took advantage of their naivety. So although they thought they were helping the police with an undercover investigation into drug dealing, they were really being used to satisfy your vile and peculiar sexual tastes."
Earlier, defence barrister Stephen Kissick had argued that "my client's behaviour might have been rude and disgusting, but wasn't technically criminal. About a year ago, he became involved with members of The Christian Brethren, and they agreed to help him with an undercover drug investigation. Admittedly, his recruiting procedures were unusual, requiring each new recruit to pose naked for identification photos, to fill out detailed questionnaires about their sex lives, and to give him various bodily samples including urine and pubic hair. But these were all consenting adults, and they didn't object, even when he rubbed a special 'antidote' cream into some of the womens' bodies, and asked one woman to masturbate, so that a vaginal swab could be taken when she climaxed. She even agreed to let him video her, because he said he had to prove to his bosses at police headquarters that the swab had been taken correctly. The Christian Brethren lead very quiet lives, and many of them enjoyed the excitement of being asked to drop off special packages for secret agents, and to write messages in invisible ink, because it made them feel important and they thought they were doing some good. So where is the crime here?"
Despite his protestations, Marriner was found guilty of fraud, misappropriation, indecent assault, and false pretences, and was jailed for five years.

"I believe there is no doubt here that you are indeed a deplorable, devious evil snake", Judge Richard James Grantham told retired sheep farmer David Laurence Brash passing sentence in Brisbane District Court.
"You realised that the subscribers to The Anagrammy Forum are quite simple, naive, impressionable, socially-inadequate, even geeky people, most of whom, although in their thirties and forties, have yet to form a meaningful relationship, and, I see, are sad, baldheaded, and still live with their mother. So, although they believed they were just playing innocent little word-games, ie: by posting various supposedly 'amusing' anagrams over the internet ...oh no, they were really being sucked inside into your deviant, dark, vile, sick, depraved world, where they lost their dignity, self-respect, identities...even a concern for public decency!"
Earlier, Brash's barrister Mey Kraus Q.C. argued that "I admit how my client's, ahem, activities and behaviour may indeed have been in bad taste, but were not, I believe, actually illegal. See, about six or seven years ago, he became involved with the A.A. (Alt.Anagrams) newsgroup which later branched-out into his own website. He set out to puncture the egos of the rich and famous, and expose hypocrisy wherever he chanced across it. His initiation procedures were indeed unusual, requiring each and every new recruit to submit their name, which he just changed into assorted disgusting, crude and embarrassing variations, which he then proceeded to post on the internet alongside an unflattering 'joke' photograph, supposedly of each colleague, but actually taken from the website fugly.net".
Despite his protestation, he was found guilty of libel, slander, and indeed, defamation of character, detained, and sentenced to attend the next Alt.Anagrams get-together in London, to see at first hand the extreme depths to which some of the victims can, even now, sink.
