PRESS RELEASE
Councillor Andrew Thaler Welcomes Assault Charges Laid Against Sandra Drayton Nearly One Year After Alleged Incident
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 13, 2025
Councillor Andrew Thaler has welcomed the recent development that two assault charges have been laid against Sandra Draeyton on March 27, almost one year after the alleged incident occurred.
Despite delays in Drayton being charged, and previous false allegations against him, Cr Thaler believes everybody deserves the presumption of innocence.
When asked for comment, Councillor Thaler stated, “When men are confronted with violent women, they should not be expected to stand there and take the blows.”
He further added, “When the police arrive, they should not assume the man is at fault. They should look at the evidence.”
Councillor Thaler indicated that he now looks forward to allowing the courts to handle the matter appropriately through the proper legal channels.
