On Thursday, magistrate Timothy Gattuso found Whittaker, 38, guilty of two counts of sexual touching without consent for the 2019 assault on Williams and an assault on another man in 2016. On March 15, 2019, Cricket Australia’s end-of-season party kicked off at the Half Acre bar in South Melbourne, before a group of colleagues moved on to another pub and then, in the early hours of the next morning, to Whittaker’s Abbotsford apartment near the Yarra River.
“What happened to me is absolutely terrible, but it doesn’t define me. It’s not who I am. It’s not a reflection on me, at all, it’s just something shocking that happened to me. And so, being able to compartmentalise me from my incident has been really important.”
