She is next due to appear in court on Thursday, January 20 next year, sources confirmed. Gaggin also said it was inappropriate for him to comment further on the matter given “criminal charges” against the former employee were still pending.Īccording to reports, the theft case has been adjourned repeatedly since it first went to court in July 2018. “However, because of the consensual nature of the actions it was determined that no further action was required or appropriate.” “Cricket Tasmania clearly does not condone this type of behaviour and addressed the matter directly with Tim Paine. “As soon as Cricket Tasmania was made aware, it undertook an investigation that determined the interaction was consensual, private, occurred on the one occasion only, was between mature adults and was not repeated,” Gaggin said in a statement. Soon after Paine fronted the media in Hobart, Cricket Tasmania Chairman Andrew Gaggin said there was no complaint raised at the time of the “consensual” incident in November 2017. On Friday afternoon, Paine stood down as Australian Test captain after it was revealed he sent a former Cricket Tasmania staffer a “d*** pic” and a series of lewd messages on the eve of the 2017/18 Ashes series.Īccording to a News Corp report, the woman claimed she was offended by “Mr Paine’s sexually explicit, unwelcome and unsolicited photograph of his genitals in addition to the graphic sexual comments”. Cricket Tasmania has revealed the former employee at the centre of a sexting scandal involving Australian wicketkeeper Tim Paine had charges of theft laid against her in 2018.
