Rugby not part of his
future, Guildford says
• From page 7
Now he said he holds a
lot of resentment towards
the sport and doesn’t believe
his future will involve
rugby.
“They didn’t, the
rugby community, didn’t
understand me, or I didn’t
understand myself so how
could they understand
me?”
As part of his sentence,
Guildford must also attend
counselling programmes
and not use alcohol or
drugs not prescribed to
him, as well as undertake
a gambling addiction programme.
In late 2020, Guildford
did an interview like this,
claiming he’d changed
and was helping others
turn their life around too.
Shortly after, he was named
as the sports star who assaulted
a woman.

communications adviser
Joel Benjamin Ineson says
he didn’t realise he was
holding a glass when he
threw a punch that caused
permanent disfigurement.
The Christmas Eve

Merivale bar injured the
ear of the 21-year-old man
he had argued with.

holiday was ruined while
he had stitches and ongoing
medical treatment
and he has been left with a
disfiguring scar on his ear.
District court Judge
Quentin Hix released
Ineson on supervision for a
year, ordered him to abide
by a nightly curfew under
community detention for
four months, and ordered
a $2000 emotional harm
payment.
The victim had suggested
$10,000 as a suitable payment,
for his losses and expenses,
and for emotional
harm.
However, Judge Hix said
he had to be careful not to
use the emotional harm

of understanding about
myself. Am I just a horrible
person like all these voices
in my head (are) telling
me? Am I depressed? Am I
anxious?”
Guilt and shame still
weigh heavily on the former
sports star.
“Letting my family and
friends down through this
gambling, that’s made the
addiction bigger myself, is
massive. I hate letting people
down and to have done
it to the extent I have.”

What is ADHD?
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition
that can cause hyperactive and impulsive
behaviour, as well as attention difficulties.
• Adults and children can be diagnosed with
ADHD.
• Not everyone with ADHD has the same
symptoms and there many are benefits to
having it, which include some people being
more creative, energetic and spontaneous.
• ADHD affects 2 to 5 per cent of all children.
In the altercation that
followed, Ineson struck the
victim in the ear with the
glass, which caused significant
injury and many
stitches.
Ineson said he did not
realise he still had the
glass in his hand when he
struck the blow, and had
not intended to cause the
injury.
Judge Hix said he had
received a positive report
from the restorative justice
meeting between Ineson
and the victim. Ineson had
apologised at the meeting.
“It shows the true value
of the restorative justice
process,” said the judge.
