I need your help to get this child predator sacked!
Please contact Tyrendarra Football Netball Club and let them know how you feel about them employing James (Jimmy) Williams.
Williams sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl when he and his football mates went out in Adelaide in September of 2002.
He was charged with rape but pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a person under 17.
Once he was bailed he returned to the club. He has since been sentenced to one year and two months jail, with a non-parole period of six months.
Despite the conviction and the jail term and the predation on a child, he’s still playing football for Tyrendarra Football Netball Club.
As a result of his re-listing with the club, multiple women made the decision to leave.
Megan Latham told the ABC this week she walked away because of the club’s decision to sign a predator instead of considering the safety of girls and women at the club.
“I think they’re saying there’s no consequences, or, ‘Sorry, we’re not responsible for giving out consequences based on what you did on our football trip,'” she says.
“Things like sexual assault are very stigmatised and I want to say around here, it can be really defended.
“And I didn’t feel like I could have that conversation or argument … particularly with people that I’d grown so close to.”
Meanwhile the club refuses to sack the player or event talk about it.
“After consideration, the committee has determined that no further comment will be made at this time,” president Scott Easson told the ABC.
