One of the Collingwood Football Club's most colourful and divisive identities has pleaded guilty to child sex abuse, but is unlikely to ever set foot in prison for the crime.Judge Paul Mullaly says Jeffrey Corfe can rely on his "good character" to avoid prisonThe judge says the victim suffered "significant psychological harm"
The 62-year-old appeared in court by videolink from Queensland, coughing and spluttering before he entered his plea.Last week, Corfe applied for a sentence indication hearing, which is where an accused person asks a court what the likely punishment would be if they were to plead guilty. "He can call on his good character and in his case his significant contributions to the community in asking for a merciful sentence for what was a one-off event," Judge Paul Mullaly said last week.
Child sex abuser does not equate to 'good character'. This is wrong. Shame on you Judge Gerard Mullaly. Shame, shame, shame!!
Eewwww
He’s a paedophile, it’s not a one-off ffs.
That lenient sentence(?), was completely out of step with Community expectations. Unacceptable.
70% of CollingwoodFC supporters are alleged child-sex abusers.
Seriously…what sort of drugs are these judges taking…that would make sense…he sexually abuse a young boy but is a good bloke and helped the community ….🤬🤬🤬 who helped that poor defenceless kid…and all the mental issues he has …wtf
Wow. Collingwood fans thought this guy was god. How the tide turns.
Surprising NOBODY
So he raped a 14 year old boy and the judge decided against prosecutors recommendation of prison time. Disgraceful
If you admit guilt to sexual penetration of a minor, you should forfeit any opinion from ANYONE that you are a “person of good character!” Is and always be a cretin and he should be going to jail! 😡
Wtf have I just read…. prison
Wow .Surely child sex abuse is not “good character”
so the take here is...grooming underage kids online and then sexually assaulting them is ok if.... 1. It's a one off are a 'good bloke' Right, I think I got it....
Disgusting homosexual
It’s never a one off incident. It’s the time you were caught. I’d like to say this beggars belief but sadly it doesn’t
Well the fat Jimmy Savile I once heard someone describe him as seems spooky AF right now.
The judge says the victim suffered 'significant psychological harm' The judge says Corfe can rely on his 'good character' to avoid prison Make this make sense. How does a child sex abuser also have good character? Don’t the two cancel each other out?
DanielAndrewsMP surely this judge is out of contact with acceptable standards in Victoria? How can a custodial sentence not be visited especially using the same community behaviour & community output of eg scout masters priests teachers who do volunteer work! Good bloke who rape
Nothing but a dog we can only hope karma does what our piss weak justice system won't
Another protected white pedo Why are whites protecting pedos for
So if I spend every week for ten years doing wonderful community service, how many children can I rape?
Didn't he say he was leaving Australia to go live in Thailand a while back?
What the actual ****!!!! Call it what it is, rape. Rape of a minor. His so called 'good character' makes his crime worse. No wonder these bastards keep doing it when all they get is a slap on the wrist.
'I murdered someone guys, but it's okay because it was one off, I swear'
It is NEVER a one off event. These men who rape children do so on the regular.
We sacrifice our children in order to protect these men with claims of good character? Get off it. We need all the child safe guarding we can get and men need to KNOW we will not allow for this abuse. And yet over and over we let them off. Why? LeaveTheKidsAlone auspol
Child rapist of good character so wont be spending any time in jail. Did I read that right? LeaveTheKidsAlone

Nobody who has good character rapes kids.
How can you bail someone who’s pleaded guilty to sexual abusing a child?! Worlds messed up!
Bit off brand here …. Aren’t they just supposed to racist?
Hot take: 'Good character' shouldn't be used to mitigate in sentencing of child sex offenders. 'Good character' is frequently part of their modus operandi and usually a material factor in the silencing and trauma of victims.
Good character? WTAF.
Don't give the mongrel any space!!

Why a load of shit. Just asking for priests everywhere to rape boys because they’ll cash in their ‘contributions to the community’ when charged. The judge has seriously messed up the ruling.
Suspended sentence for rape. Terrible decision.
Well, what a surprise with a Jimmy Saville look-alike. Jimmy was of good character too ...
Charming. Not
Dura_Ace Why is this not a surprise?
razorback11111 The last we see of Joffa at a pies game
razorback11111 I wonder if the woke AFL will take a stand against pedophilia now? I doubt I’d, as they wouldn’t want to upset their pedo handlers.
Disgusting sentence. Should serve time and put on the sex register
Just another pies supporter
I’d love to know what the “good character” was that negated raping a child…horrendous message to rapists and pedophiles. Nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Our so called justice system is a joke.
Just your average Collingwood supporter
Good ol Collingwood forever... They know how to play the game...
This is garbage. This isn’t justice.
Rape a 14 year old boy, get a suspended sentence, you got what you voted for Victoria
Appalling! Just appalling behaviour Joffa. The elephant in the room though...why was the 14yo emailing '30yo man' to meet, and then go into Joffa's home? Joffa, there's no excuse for your behaviour toward this boy. None!
Why was a 14 year old going to a '30' year olds house in the first place....🧐🤔 However 'once' is just what he was caught on... One minute sentence is all it should be!
So good character trumps raping a minor? 👌 👏 😡
What a surprise
The Left are normalising grooming, bit by bit Sickos
Disgusting that he gets away with a suspended sentence!
Kudos to the young boy for seeking justice.
