Victim of Tim Paine's 'sexting' scandal demanded $40,000 as legal costs in 2018
Tim Paine's 36-year-old career is in ruins after the 'sexting
controversy' with a coworker in 2017 was just exposed. Paine, who has been captain of the
Australian Test squad since March 2018, resigned down due to the incident. Another element in
the case is that the female staffer has demanded an apology and $40,000 in legal fees.
According to reports, she approached Cricket Australia in 2018 to make her apology and legal expenses demands. The same was confirmed by an intermediary between CA and the woman. However, at a time when Australian cricket was reeling from the ball-tampering controversy in Cape Town, the woman "let the matter go."
Sean Mulcahy stated that she wanted to keep the matter quiet and that she wanted Cricket Tasmania to apologize and reimburse her legal bills.
Given the upcoming Ashes series, the severe consequences from the South Africa event, and the subsequent firing of then-captain Steve Smith, he warned her that she might potentially collect a significant fee for her narrative. Her conclusion was to put the situation behind her and move on.
Mulcahy stated that the woman never wanted the incident to be made public and didn't tell anyone about it.
After 'graphic sexual comments' and an 'unsolicited' picture of his genitals appeared during her conversation with the woman, Paine became embroiled in a controversy. He apologized for his conduct on Friday and expressed gratitude to his wife and family for their support. Despite stepping down as captain, he has made himself available for selection for the upcoming Ashes series, which begins in December.
