The pregnant partner of a gamer accused of livestreaming a domestic violence incident on the game Fortnite has pleaded with a judge for him to be able to return home.
Luke James Munday, 26, said nothing as he faced Camden Local Court today after being charged with common assault following the online broadcast via Twitch on Sunday night.
Magistrate Ian Cheetham refused to lift an AVO issued by police that stops Mr Munday from returning to his Oran Park home despite his pregnant partner making the request in writing.
He did however grant a request from Mr Munday’s lawyer for a four-week adjournment so the father can seek “adequate legal advice”.
The court heard Mr Munday had been charged with malicious damage and common assault in 2011, but neither related to a domestic violence issue.
“The accused has a number of convictions/findings of guilt for matters involving violence,” bail documents state.
Mr Munday told police he regretted the alleged attack on his pregnant partner.
“The accused showed remorse…saying that his actions were inappropriate and he should not have done what he did,” bail documents state.
People yelled at the suspended Telstra engineer as he made his way to court.
Mr Munday, who goes by the name MrDeadMoth online, won’t be required to appear at that next mention on January 10 after lawyer Steven Mercael told the court “there is a lot of attention on both the alleged victim and (Munday)”.
The mother of the young woman involved told 9News two days ago she was relieved the video of her daughter’s “mentally and physically abusive” partner led to his arrest.
The young woman, who did not want to be identified, also told 9News the man became violent three years into their relationship.
“It’s not the first time he has hit her. We reported it [to police] before but he’s gotten away with it,” the mother told 9News.
