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 Wednesday.
“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 wombat was very happy with the outcome.

It's been my experience that simply relaxing and enjoying the wombat experience is far superior to getting all pissy and trying to fight him off. Averting your eyes is always a good measure as well.
ReplyDeleteYou could squint and imagine it's Ron Jeremy.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what that man was complaining about - that's a damn hansome wombat!
ReplyDeleteFull set of front teeth and everything.
ReplyDeleteYes, and look at the expression on it's face. I bet someone was tickling his arse when this photo was taken.
ReplyDeleteYep, that is the offical expression of a wombat having it's arse tickled.
