A New Zealand man has been sentenced to community service after telling police he had been raped by a wombat and the experience had caused him to start speaking "Australian".


Arthur Cradock, a 48-year-old orchard worker from Motueka on South Island, rang police on February 11 to say he was being raped by the slow-moving Australian marsupial at his home, The Nelson Mail reported.


He rang back soon afterwards to say he was withdrawing his complaint against the wombat, a court was told.


"Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right you know," he told police in the second call.


Cradock pleaded guilty to using a phone for a fictitious purpose and was sentenced to 75 hours community work.


Prosecutors said alcohol played a large part in Cradock's life, although his defence lawyer said he was not drunk on the afternoon of the phone calls.

The REAL crime here is that the off-season has brought us to............this

Nah. I would have posted this story any time throughout the season and even during Super Bowl week.


It's a story you just can't ignore. :)

That wombat looks like the one getting violated.

Next week you will be posting about the woman who faces 15 years for knocking a mother of 3 into a coma after she cut in line at Disney.

* Not the actual Wombat alleged to have done the deed, unless by a crazy coincidence. :)

I can post this thread NO MORE.
I have no desire to be dealing with the Wombat's atty................by association

I'm sorely tempted to merge this thread with this one.
