Rugby player Shannon Frizell. An All Black who committed three assaults has side-stepped convictions after completing diversion. “F*** you b**** tell your friend to hide I’m gonna f*** everyone’s up f*** with the wrong guy,” (sic) it read. Prosecutor Sergeant Chris George confirmed the Highlanders star had completed the terms of his diversion and the two charges of assaulting a woman and one of common assault were formally dismissed by Judge Peter Rollo. She told the Otago Daily Times Frizell had “walked away with nothing more than a slap on the hand”.
