Last night, panel members on The Tonight Show on TV3 were discussing the case of sports journalist Tom Humphries being sentenced to two and a half years in prison for grooming and sexually abusing a teenage girl.
Eamon Dunphy was on the show and as always his opinions caused serious backlash.
Dunphy says "I didnt know about the grooming just the underage sex - I didn't know how serious it was" ??? The underage sex is the bigger issue!!! They groom in order to get the sex & what underage girl would have Sex w humphries WITHOUT grooming - he's repellent #tonighttv3

Eamon Dunphy says Judge gave #TomHumphries "just about the right sentence", says it's not for him to judge, and he doesn't believe in "trial by media".#tonighttv3

Dunphy is more cutting in his analysis of Ronaldo having an average game than Tom Humphreys sexually assaulting a child.
