Sheila, can you not read? WE are not asking for money. Our daughter has been through a disgusting ordeal and she needs an apology at the very least. But not money - she wouldn't touch Brooke's money, and would prefer to carry on working at her $12 an hour job to save for another holiday next year which will hopefully provide her with better memories than this one did. And be aware that this entire ordeal has been tough on all of her family - her brothers and sisters included. It may seem a petty and insignificant incident to you, but the effects are far reaching, believe me.
It never ceases to amaze me that in previous cases similar to this that the sexual/physical/emotional attack of the victim is so often forgotten. Lets not forget what both of these young people have had to endure. Its about time we stood up as a society and sent a clear message that its not okay to use any kind of violence against each other, and alcohol is no excuse. "Mum" good on you for standing up for the rights of your daughter to be able to socialise in a safe envionment.
Really these families of the victims are greedy for money..c now they sue him for 200000...omg frst you said you need an apology, now you need money..go on brooke fight for it with your lawyer and let this hunger for money people know what they doing
As the mother of the girl in question, I would ask you to read the article again, carefully. I stated that we want NO money. I told the journalist that if there ever was any money, it would be diverted immediately to charity, but that was not printed. I would like him to apologise to our daughter. Money has NEVER been of any interest to us in regard to this and we would refuse it if offered.
"throws the credibility of their claims out"? What the hell? There is never any legal justice for anyone who is the victim of any kind of attack by a sports star. So what do you do? Brooke's behavior is disgusting and I am appalled by the lack of action by the fijian police. It's time the men in our society thought about their daughters, sisters and girlfriends and took a stand against the sexually aggressive/predatory behavior exhibited by (and even encouraged in) so many of our sports stars.
Did anybody expect anything else would happen they want money and that is all.sick sick sick
Alien - you obviously live in a dream world. Ask yourself why this guy has not confronted the issue publicly to defend his good name. It has already been reported that he tried to offer money shortly after the event. Starting to sound like a continuation of the M. Jackson saga!
hmmm, so to start with they said that they weren't interested in anything but an apology. Seems like another family wanting money which to me at least throws the credibility of their claims out.
