NZ man claims 'rape by Aussie wombat'
By Yahoo!7 News



A New Zealand man has been sentenced to 75 hours' community service for telling police he was being raped by a wombat.
Arthur Ross Cradock of Motueka rang police to ask for help on February 11, The Nelson Mail reported.

In a later call to police, Cradock retracted the wombat rape complaint, but said the incident had left him with an Australian accent.

"Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right you know," Mr Cradock told an emergency operator.

In court, Cradock pleaded guilty to 'using a phone for fictitious purpose', the newspaper said.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Chris Stringer told the court alcohol played a part in Cradock's life, but the defendant's lawyer denied it was a problem on the day of the phone calls.

In sentencing, Judge Richard Russell said he was not sure what motivated Cradock to make such statements and warned him not to do it again.

Whereas if it had been a sheep, the act would have been consensual.

This one just gets better:

"I'll retract the rape complaint from the wombat, because he's pulled out,'' Cradock told the operator at the communications centre, who had no idea what he was talking about, Mr Stringer said.

"Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right you know, I didn't hurt my bum at all,'' Cradock then told the operator.

My Kiwi colleagues at work didn't see the funny side of this story, so I pulled out a sheep gag similar to Psuedo's above and it's fair to say, I'm a lot less popular with that lot now than I was on Thursday.

If the article suggests he has a drinking problem, that should be the least of his worries.

Not surprising...
As for Craddock, I'd've loved to see him explain that to his dry cleaners!
