A Herald on Sunday sting gone wrong?

So the Herald on Sunday is revealing all about Bailey Junior Kurariki, and his graduation to a new class of criminal; the sexual pest.

Frankly, there would be a lot more merit in this story were the complainants not Herald journalists looking for an angle. This story has "honey-trap" written all over it. If the Herald on Sunday had concerns over Kurariki, why was a burly male reporter or photographer not dispatched? Reflect on this:

The incident took place after a reporter rang West's home to speak to Kurariki about the episode involving the TV cameraman.

Kurariki answered the phone and began a conversation, during which he admitted the previously unreported return to prison in February for kicking a camera.

The reporter asked Kurariki if she and a photographer could visit to talk about his time in prison. He replied: "Yeah, yeah, as soon as possible. Come now so I don't get bored and I want to see my mates."



In our always exceeding humble opinion, the Herald on Sunday should not be giving Kurariki any oxygen - or column centimeters. And the editorial staff of the Herald on Sunday should reflect on the newspaper's role - which is, of course, to REPORT the news, and not to concoct it.

Bailey Kurariki is a time-bomb.

There are plenty more where he comes from.

Where is our time-bomb defusing unit?

It defies belief that any of the media can imagine the public has an interest in this ridiculous little maggot!

The only interest is in seeing him in the obituaries.
