Argument broke out between siblings before woman fell from moving car, court told

A court has heard claims that an argument between siblings broke out in the seconds before a woman fell from a moving car on a busy freeway just outside of Melbourne.

David Fosita, 28, appeared in Sunshine Magistrates' Court today, after he was arrested at the scene of an incident that left his sibling in an induced coma.

Fosita had his bid for bail rejected as his sister continues to fight for life in hospital.

The court heard the woman allegedly fell from the passenger side of a Honda sedan as it travelled at 100km/h on the Princes Freeway in Little River on Sunday.

The police summary alleges Fosita admitted "he cracked it" and lost his temper at his sister before he started smashing the radio in the car three to four times.

Magistrate Charlie Rozencwajg stated in court today that his sister "wanted him to stop the car and get out of the car".

"If it turns out she jumped out of the car, that can only be an indication of how fearful and anxious she was about the accused," Rozencwajg said.

The Tarneit man has not been charged over the incident but was arrested at the scene for outstanding matters including alleged criminal damage after an argument at the woman's home.

Two new drug possession charges were laid this morning.

The woman remains in an induced coma at The Alfred hospital with severe swelling on the brain.

The magistrate refused her brother's application for bail and ordered a psychologist's report.

White supremacist faces court over alleged attack outside Nine building

A security guard has described how white supremacist Thomas Sewell allegedly hurled racial slurs at him before he was punched outside Nine's building in Melbourne.

Right-wing leader Thomas Sewell told a security guard to "dance monkey" before he allegedly struck the man.

Sewell, 29, leader of the European Australian Movement, faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday after pleading not guilty to assault, affray and recklessly causing serious injury over the March 2021 incident.

Some of Sewell's supporters, observing the case remotely, were asked to turn on their video cameras.

One said being asked to show his face was "abuse because you wouldn't ask a Muslim to remove their burqa" and another used a photo background of Hitler Youth.

Sewell is accused of punching a security guard in the head several times, outside Nine's headquarters in Melbourne on March 1.

Nine is the publisher of this website.

He visited the office with a cameraman to speak to senior executives just hours before A Current Affair was due to air a segment featuring Sewell, about neo-Nazi groups.

He claimed ACA were showing his group to be a terrorist organisation and said they had not contacted him for right of reply.

A video of Sewell inside the building speaking to the camera was shown to court, along with CCTV footage of the fight.

"They call this investigative journalism but when anyone dares investigate these people they hide like cowards in their offices," he said in the clip.

The security guard then walks over and puts his hand over the camera lens, instructing the two men to leave.

He told the court he showed Sewell and the cameraman a white line outside the office where they were permitted to film, but they instead filmed close to the door.

They eventually moved back and he believed the incident had de-escalated.

But then he alleged Sewell started playing the song Dance Monkey and said "the monkey is dancing" to the guard.

"Both men did refer to 'oh the monkey is dancing, the dance monkey'. I took that to be offensive," the security guard said on Tuesday.

"I said 'there's no need for any racial slurs' and then I hand gestured that I would appreciate if you would stop, I'm not a monkey, I don't appreciate the racial slurs, I never disrespected the both of you."

He alleged Sewell then punched him and he fell to the ground, hitting his heat on the concrete, and Sewell continued to punch him.

"I was held by my jacket collar, punched in the back of the neck, then continued to be punched repeatedly while I was trying to move away from Thomas Sewell," he said.

He came to after a few punches, was separated from Sewell and then walked back into the building.

The guard suffered several injuries, including bruising and swelling to his head, and was left traumatised by the incident.

Sewell's lawyer James McQuillan claimed his client had acted in self-defence and was defending his cameraman when he attacked the man.

He alleged the security guard lost his temper and grabbed the cameraman by the throat after being told "dance monkey", which the guard denied.

McQuillan also claimed no music was played and the guard was "imagining it or making it up", which the guard said was "totally wrong".

The hearing continues.

Former WA cop jailed for 30 years over rape offences

A depraved former West Australian police officer who drugged, degraded and sexually violated more than a dozen women has been jailed for 30 years.

Adrian Trevor Moore, 53, was found guilty in the WA District Court of 87 charges involving 13 victims, each of whom was stupefied with an unknown substance during sadistic offending that spanned 12 years.

Moore, who rose to the rank of senior constable, met most of the women on dating sites. Two were fellow police officers.

Judge Alan Troy on Tuesday outlined harrowing details of how Moore repeatedly breached his position of trust and humiliated victims who had either explicitly urged him to stop or were incapable of consenting.

On one occasion, Moore violently raped a victim at her apartment while wearing his police uniform after offering to help her move homes.

Other offending involved animals and objects.

Some victims were unaware of the crimes carried out against them until police seized a storage device containing images and videos recorded by Moore.

"The facts here are unprecedented," Troy said, describing the offending as premeditated and predatory.

"Your conduct involves … an abject disregard by you for each victim's dignity as a human being."

Troy sentenced Moore to 30 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole after 28 years.

It is believed to be the highest sentence handed down in WA for sexual offending.

The court was told Moore had lived a "double life", concealing his increasingly brazen crimes from his colleagues and superiors in the WA police force.

"Your offending against fellow police officers carried with a heightened risk for you but you did it anyway," the judge said.

Moore's offending was only uncovered when a victim who was also a police officer reported him to internal affairs, knowing that doing so would result in explicit images of her being seen by other officers.

Former WA cop Adrian Trevor Moore jailed for 30 years.

Troy noted the "enormous debt of gratitude" owed to the woman by other victims and the broader community.

"I fear that you have irretrievably wrecked her life," he said.

The court heard Moore had not expressed any genuine remorse, instead maintaining a delusional belief that the police force had a vendetta against him.

Troy paid tribute to the courage shown by victims, one of whom had expressed concern about the vicarious trauma suffered by jury members who had to watch recordings of Moore's "sickening" crimes.

"In the context of what happened to her, (her) concern for others is remarkable," he said.
