Netflix star hit with more charges
Celebrity croc wrangler Matt Wright has reportedly been hit with two more criminal charges following the helicopter crash that killed his friend and co-star Chris Wilson.
The Outback Wrangler host was set to face trial in the Northern Territory Supreme Court next month charged with one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
However, the charges are now set to be split into three components, a Director of Public Prosecutions spokesperson confirmed to NewsWire.
The Crown filed an amended indictment and Crown case outline that contained three counts of perverting the course of justice, rather than just the one, the DPP said.

Kallan Ford: What we know about alleged Adelaide work trip rape
A Victorian businessman who allegedly raped an unconscious woman on Hindley St is a married father and former assistant coach of a junior girls football team. Kallan Ford, 38, is now in custody in South Australia after he was determined to be too much of a flight risk and bail was revoked over the alleged assault which police say was captured on CCTV footage. Mr Ford was previously granted bail in the Magistrates Court but the Crown applied to the Supreme Court to have the decision reviewed. His bail was then revoked by Justice Rachael Gray last month. Who is Kallan Ford? The general manager of a major pipeline company resides in Plenty, Victoria with his wife and children. During the bail review hearing, Mr Ford's counsel flagged that his remand in custody would cause 'considerable difficulties' to the company, which employs 120 people. The court heard Mr Ford and his wife reside in a home valued at $1.7m, with a $1.4m mortgage – with repayments at $9000 a month. The family's expenditure on school fees is around $55,000 per year, as well as having financial commitments to motor vehicles. Mr Ford is the main bread winner for his family, with his wife making $700 per week as a real estate assistant. The court heard the family had been living week to week due to interest rate rises, meaning the family home would be placed in jeopardy if Mr Ford remained in custody. The Advertiser also understands Mr Ford was formerly the assistant coach of a junior girls football team in Victoria. The Hindley St allegations During Mr Ford's bail review hearing last month, the court heard the Crown would allege the victim had consumed around 10 alcoholic drinks and recalled walking to a nearby convenience store – on the corner of Morphett and Hindley streets in the early hours of May 22. Amy Fisher, for the prosecution, said the alleged victim also recalled having nitrous oxide with Mr Ford, whom she had never met, before passing out. 'She awoke some time later to find the defendant having penetrative-vaginal sexual intercourse with her,' Ms Fisher said. 'She eventually managed to rouse herself, fought back and attacked the defendant, ripping his shirt and then dragging him down on to Hindley St where she ultimately flagged down some police who were patrolling the area at 7.37am that morning.' Ms Fisher said the alleged incident was captured on CCTV, which showed the alleged victim 'entirely unconscious and therefore incapable of consenting to any sexual acts'. 'The defendant can then be seen moving very slowly and carefully, the inference being that he was doing so as not to rouse her,' she said. 'He can also be seen looking up on several occasions. Again that inference being he is checking to make sure that no-one is around.' The court heard Mr Ford allegedly removed the woman's pants and underwear before raping her. 'The footage clearly shows that the complainant is unconscious throughout this entire incident,' Ms Fisher said. She submitted it was an 'inevitable' conviction that would carry a lengthy jail term. Mr Ford is charged with rape and indecent assault. He is yet to enter any pleas. Justice's reasons for revoking Mr Ford's bail In her ruling, Justice Gray said Mr Ford did not have any connection to South Australia and had planned to be in Adelaide for only five days while attending a work function. 'The prosecution made submissions that the victim is frightened, that if released, the defendant would seek to contact her,' she said. His counsel emphasised that the investigation was in the early stages, his client had no prior criminal history and the impact his remand in custody would have financially on his family. Mr Ford, as well as his parents, also each offered $15,000 cash surety to secure his release on bail. However, Justice Gray revoked Mr Ford's bail, due to the seriousness of the allegations and the 'significant risk' of him failing to answer bail and absconding. The case was adjourned until August.

Gareth Ward 'fixed us drinks' on night of alleged assault, trial hears
The second man to give evidence in the trial of NSW MP Gareth Ward has described how the politician "fixed us drinks" on the night of the alleged assault. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was 17 when he first met Mr Ward at an event in late 2012. In their opening, the Crown alleged Mr Ward indecently assaulted the man, then 18, at his Meroo Meadow home in 2013, including touching his buttocks and scrotum and mounting his back. The independent MP for Kiama and former Liberal minister has pleaded not guilty to charges involving the younger complainant, as well as additional charges, including sexual intercourse without consent, involving an older complainant. Mr Ward denies all allegations. After hearing evidence from the first complainant, the trial continued into its 16th day with testimony from the second. Giving evidence in the NSW District Court from a remote location, the younger complainant described how he met the MP thinking they had become "mates" and their association a "friendship". In February 2013, after a party where he had been drinking and there had been tension with his girlfriend, the complainant said he left feeling low and sat drinking alone. He told the court Mr Ward phoned him, expressed concern and offered to pay for a taxi to his house. Arriving at the Meroo Meadow property, the complainant said the atmosphere was noticeably different to previous gatherings. "I remember being instantly taken aback by how different the vibe was compared to the last time I had been there with a lot of people," he said. The man said they sat at Mr Ward's kitchen bench drinking. "He was fixing us drinks," he said, including what might have been coffee vodka, which was a "fixture in his [Mr Ward's] freezer at the time". The court heard they later moved outside, where the complainant jokingly pretended to pass out on the grass. The trial continues tomorrow, when the younger complainant is expected to give further evidence.

Bruce Lehrmann lodges court application to have rape charges halted
Former Liberal Party staffer Bruce Lehrmann has filed a court application seeking that rape charges against him in Queensland be permanently halted. The application, filed this week in the Toowoomba District Court, seeks a declaration that intercepted phone calls between Mr Lehrmann's lawyers and Queensland police were "illegally obtained". The defence's application also requested that the defendant have a list of materials in the police investigation and a declaration that the Queensland Police Service "do not have the power nor the discretion to determine what is relevant to a defence case and must disclose all materials in the course of the police investigation". Mr Lehrmann's Sydney-based lawyer Zali Burrows filed the application for a permanent stay of the proceedings and for pre-trial directions and rulings under the Criminal Code. It follows weeks of legal wrangling between the Crown and Ms Burrows, who came on board as his legal representative after the case was committed for trial. Mr Lehrmann faces two counts of rape, alleged to have occurred in Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, in October 2021. Following a committal hearing in the Toowoomba Magistrates Court in July 2024, Mr Lehrmann was committed to stand trial in the Toowoomba District Court. In May this year, Ms Burrows told the District Court, during a mention of the case, that there was a "shroud of secrecy" over the police investigation into her client. On that occasion, Ms Burrows said the defence had only received about 200 pages of a 2,200-page download from the complainant's mobile phone records. The defence was also seeking access to all police notebooks, diary entries, emails and text messages related to the rape investigation. A hearing of the defence application for the police notebooks and other information has been set down for July 25 in the Toowoomba District Court. Mr Lehrmann's application for a permanent stay will be mentioned in the Ipswich District Court on Wednesday, as the Toowoomba District Court is not sitting this week. Court documents, filed in the Toowoomba District Court, also include an affidavit from the practice manager at the Toowoomba office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Peter Blake-Segovia. In that affidavit, Mr Blake-Segovia said that the arresting police officer, Detective Senior Constable Ashlee Ryder, had responded to him via email, setting out items in her possession that were not provided as part of the brief to the DPP, including: Mr Blake-Segovia said the police officer had also confirmed "that there were two notebooks in her possession that were not part of the brief provided to the Director of Public Prosecutions. I have sought these items be provided for disclosure." The officer confirmed that all signed statements had been provided but that a further addendum, from the complainant, had been drafted but not yet signed. Once signed, it would be provided, the DPP officer said. The DPP said that once all items were received from the police officer, they would be reviewed "to ascertain whether they ought to be disclosed" prior to the hearing listed for July 25.
