Former rugby league player Todd Payten has pleaded guilty to urinating on the Hyde Park War Memorial.

The recently-retired representative prop appeared in Downing Centre Local Court today charged with committing an indecent and offensive act on a war memorial.

The incident took place on September 18, but was not revealed to the public by the National Rugby League.

I would fine him & make him volunteer in a RSL home, or something similar
 
I like that he seems genuinely embarrassed and disgraced for doing it. Genuine remorse.
A fine and volunteer at the RSL would be a fair punishment IMO.
 
And now he's responsible for unleashing a stream of golden dad jokes upon this forum. Shame, Payten.
 
These jokes take the urinal cake
 
Who knew BHQ was flushed with dad joke talent?

Lock him up and throw the key away. I don't care if he is acting sorry for what he did.
 
Court decision relief for Todd Payten

Mr Trodden said Payten's decision to plead guilty to the charge of a public act of indecency was "evidence of his contrition in this matter".
Magistrate Graeme Curran chose not to record a conviction against the premiership-winning prop provided he abides by a six-month good behaviour bond.

The maximum penalty for the offence is a $4400 fine but Mr Curren said he accepted that Payten had not intended to "deliberately desecrate" the memorial, which he described as a "place of some sensitivity to people and rightly so".

"It is clear this isn't a matter where any disrespect was intended," he said.

The court heard that Payten also intends to write a letter of apology to the NSW RSL branch.

:lol:at the heading.
 
Willie Mason and Nick Kenny made news for pissing outside a pub.
I think pissing on a war memorial is more newsworthy if anything.
