Breaking: 'I feel like he’s gotten away with something': The victim of ex-pies cheer squad identity Jeffrey “Joffa” Corfe is urging prosecutors to appeal the sentence.
The victim of historical sexual abuse by former Collingwood cheer squad identity Jeffrey “Joffa” Corfe is urging prosecutors to appeal the sentence imposed on his abuser, saying the fact that Corfe will not go to prison over the incident means he’s “gotten away with something”.
The sentence means Corfe receives a term of imprisonment, which is suspended for a period of time. If Corfe is found guilty of an offence punishable by prison within the period of the suspended sentence, he must serve the original term.he decided to report the allegations one evening in June 2020. The next morning, he was at Coburg police station with printouts of the emails, speaking to a police officer. Case says the sentence disappointed him.
However, the notion that the offending was a one-off was thrown into doubt by a second allegation of sexual assaultThomas*, who is now 39 and lives in Melbourne’s west, alleges he was 15 when he began speaking to Corfe on a hotline for LGTBQ teenagers in early 1999. The first judge to consider the indication, Judge Frank Gucciardo, said he could not produce one. Judge Mullaly, a more senior judge at the Victorian County Court, stepped in and told Corfe his abuse would not attract a stint in prison.
