Craig’s video immediately after the Court hearing. It is a shame that Monita’s false and vexatious accusations actually made it to Court.
But justice prevailed and Craig was found innocent of Monita’s false and untrue accusations.
Where is the justice for the man the is falsely accused of violence in Australia? There seems to be none. Men can be abused too and nobody cares or is interested.
It seems that the NSW Police, in particular Bankstown Police support these crimes and do not even care, the NSW Police actually assist the perpetrators/offenders.
Something needs to change to ensure there is justice for all, for both men and women who have had crimes, domestic viloence and false accusations comitted against them.
Further Detail of the Court Proceedings
1) On Saturday 4 June 2016 Monita Nehme went to the Bankstown Police Station and made a false and vexatious statement against Craig (her former fiancée and partner of 3.5 years) to have the police issue a Provisional Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (PAVO). There has never been any issues of disrespect or violence from Craig to Monita, she just made completely false statement.
2) All the points in Monitas complaint we untrue and proven so in the subsequent court hearing.
3) The complaint was not adequately investigated by Constable Mark Ward, moreover he performed his duties very poorly.
4) Monita Nehme has an LLB and a Masters in Law and therefore a good understanding of the law, system and how it works. It seems she used this to her advantage to hurt her former fiancée.
5) Monita falsely stated to the Bankstown police that Craig had been harassing her, made over 100 phone calls, texted her over 60 times and emailed her 30 plus times. She further stated that she had to change phone number because of this. The police did not check or substantiate any of Monita’s claims and proceeded to issue an PAVO to Craig the following day. The information provided by Monita was false, untrue and vexatious and was proven so in court:
I) Judge Truscot stated; “The hundreds of messages to her telephone don't seem to be born out in the application, though would have had the means to obtain details of those hundreds of calls to her, has not be gained and that must go towards Mr Soper's case. I actually found Mr Soper disturbingly honest in the witness box. “The evidence that Craig did not call Monita during while he was in NZ is supported by the official call logs from his cellular provider 'Skinny' attached in his evidence. Additionally, Craig only called Monita a few times while he was in Australia for 4 days as he was given her number by a mutual friend when he arrived. Point 40 in Monita statement says Craig called her hundreds of times is untrue.
II) Craig did not text Monita from 11 May – 2 June 2016 to any of her cell phone numbers. He only texted her in Australia 6 times when a mutual friend gave him her number to resolve their issues. It is clear Monita lied to the police about when she stated he had texted her over 60 times to mislead them into believing Craig was harassing her.
III) There were 25 emails approx. from Craig and 20 from Monita sent; Monita’s messages were use foul language, were abusive and threatening. Craig’s were consolatory and apologetic about not adding her on FB as she had requested. He was unaware at this time Monita had been unfaithful again. Monita also initiated email contact on 23 May 2016 with Craig to threaten and abuse him over his Facebook page. Craig was perplexed to this abuse as this is what she had wanted him to do for some time. He thought she was sending him the messages to then resend to her new boyfriend, just as Monita had shared her husbands intimate messages with him.
IV) Monita stated she had to change her number 3 times as she was begin harassed by Craig and that “Craig has somehow got it”. This is another untrue statement. Craig never called her while he was in NZ and never called her on her first new number.
a) The first time she changed it (approx. 11 May 2016) was to force Craig to add her on FB (i.e. “I will only communicate with you on Facebook when I am your girlfriend and am changing my number”)
b) The second time she changed it was she wanted an easier to remember number i.e. a silver number (see “Appendix 1, Screen-shot 1”) Monita sent this as a text message to her friends. Craig did not call or text her 1 time since May 11 on either of her first two cellular phone numbers.
The police used this as a reason for defining that Craig had allegedly harassed Monita. Monita lied and twisted the truth into one of her lies. See Constable Mark Ward verbal evidence in court point 50 and also police notebook in evidence
V) When Craig arrived in Australia he rang Monita a limited number of times over 2-day period only. Refer to attached screen shots of calls while Craig was in Australia from his evidence.
VI) Putting everything into perspective. Monita had asked Craig to add her on FB and as his girlfriend. She also said she was deleting her phone number and would only communicate via Facebook. Monita never verbally told Craig their relationship was over, she just changed her phone number to force him to add her on FB as she has previously stated.
VII) The evidence and messages Craig sent Monita we not abusive or threatening and displayed his love and feelings towards her. In fact, Monita had been threatening and abusive toward Craig as is evidenced in his affidavit. Judge Truscott said, “but what's remarkable about the texts and the email and the printout of documents tendered as exhibit 4, indicates the emotions to which Mr Soper has towards Ms Nehme Kayem.” “And I can say, having read that, that it was completely non-abusive.”
7) The police rely on people make truthful statement to be able to perform their work correctly. When people make false statements for personal gain and to hurt other it wastes valuable police resources.
8) It is disappointing that the Constable Mark Ward was so easily fooled and used by Monita Nehme. Moreover, Mark Ward refused to discuss the matter with Craig and said “it is up to the magistrate to decide”, Constable Mark Ward refused to let Craig talk with Leading Constable Lawson when he rang a number of times. It seems in this case the police have a culture of 'covering their butts' rather than investigating the truth in these matters, thus contributing to wasting the courts time and resources.
Craig’s leaving video from Bankstown, Sydney. It is a shame that Constable Mark Ward was remiss and in fact incompetent in his duties as a police officer and did not even bother to check the false facts and allegations Monita Nehme had made. Lazy policing by a bad policeman it seems.
How many other people have had false allegations brought against them due to vengeful exs and also incompetent police officers not investigating them.
Craig’s lawyers said unfortunately said these sorts of cases are more common than they should be.
9) In Australia there has been a large number of AVOs issue on men when their partners end the relationship with them to seek advantage. Most of the men can’t afford to defend them and even when the person making the false and vexatious statement is discovered they are not charged with perjury or making a false statement. This needs to change.
10) Monita Nehme went to obtain the PAVO as Craig had started seeking answers about her affairs. And when he texted her that he wanted to cancel their meeting scheduled on Sunday before he flew out of Sydney the following day as he did not want to talk to or have anything to do with her. Craig was leaving Australia the morning after her night time complaint, there was obviously no reason for the AVO other than to hurt him.
11) It seems Monita did not seek the AVO because Craig has harassing or intimating her (as she stated to police and to the court) but to hurt him, stop him seeking answers to her affairs and to stop him posting information on his Facebook page. Judge Truscott said; “What she seems to be seeking in the witness box is that he not make any posts about her on Facebook. There was intimate personal information that he knew about and that he chose to share”. The Judge further stated about Craig’s communication with Monita; “And I can say, having read that, that it was completely non-abusive.”
12) The result of Monita Neh’mes false police complaint, perjury and unlawful actions had significant negative consequences:
I) Wasted the Courts time and resources,
II) Wasted the Polices time and resources,
III) Caused Craig much emotional stress,
IV) Directly cost Craig $5,140 to defend the false complaint. ($4,000 In legal fees, $650 in travel, $340 in Accommodation costs, $150 in living costs),
V) Indirectly cost Craig $2,400 in lost earnings to attend the trial.
13) These consequences have had a significant effect on Mr Soper and it has been extremely distressing to both him and his family.
Monita Nehmes False and Vexations Police Complaint continued
In point 7 Monita States over the period of three weeks 14 May-4 June that Craig has made hundreds of telephone calls and states Craig has sent 50-60 text messages and she has received 30 emails. This is completely untrue and Monita has knowingly made a false statement designed to make Craig look like he has been harassing Monita to gain a PAVO.
Craig never contacted Montia by phone and did not call her over a hundred times as she states. The phone records show Craig never called Monita when he was in NZ once she had changed her phone number. Craig only called Monita a limited number of times when he arrived in Australia as a mutual friend gave him her number to resolve things. Monita has clearly lied to the police then the Court to paint Craig in a bad light falsely stated her has harassed her. All of which is untrue. Call logs from 11 May – 2 June 20116 (while in NZ) and 2 June -4 June 2016 while Craig was in Australia) prove this. And Judge Truscott agrees.
Monita and the Bankstown police had every opportunity to produce the call logs from Monita’s phone or cellular provider but did not as Craig has not called or messaged her as stated previously.
Monita states Craig has harassed her. But the evidence in court shows he has not and actually been loving, apologetic, respectful and honest. All the evidence Monita provided displays Craig being loving and respectful. What Monita was seeking was to use the PAVO of stopping Craig seeking answers about her affair and to stop him publishing their photos on Facebook. This is confirmed by Judge Truscott’s findings when she said Craig’s communications with Monita were completely non-abusive.
In point 5 Monita falsely states Craig has:
I) harassed Monita through Facebook, text and email and
II) made a number of fake, Facebook profiles
III) Stated they were never engaged.
IV) Monita complained to Facebook.
Point I) is completely false. Craig has not harassed Monita and there is no evidence of this. The phone logs suggest Monita is being untruthful.
Point II) is completely false, Craig did not make a number of fake Facebook profiles There is no evidence of this.
Point III is completely false, Craig and Monita we engaged. which details photos of engagement rings, text messages, emails and a verbal message proving they were engaged. Monita’s verbal statement is very contradictory, she sates they weren't engaged, then weren’t officially etc.
Craig and Monita were enganged. Monita was untruthful in her police statement and said they were not engaged.
Point IV) Monita was falsely complaining to Facebook that the profile in Craig’s name was a fake one and an impersonation. Craig had to provide Facebook copies of his Passport and drivers licence to verify he was himself. This was also noted by the judged in her summing up. Monita admitted this fraud in her verbal court evidence.
In point 6 Monita states Craig suffers from depression and his moods are up and down. Monita knows this is untrue and Craig has never suffered from depression. In fact, Monita calls Craig the iceman as he always keeps his emotions under control.
In point 8 Monita States Craig has created a number of fictitious Facebook profiles. This is completely untrue and another ploy to paint Craig in a bad light. Craig only has two Facebook profiles and those are both in his name. Monita has provided no evidence to support this false allegation. Monita has in fact created many Facebook profiles herself, 6 that Craig has been aware of.
In point 8 Monita states Craig has made Facebook profiles for businesses. This is again untrue. Craig has tagged some photos with location-based information. Monita twisted this into something else and said he created fake Facebook profiles. There is no evidence he did anything she has stated. Monita defamed Craig to Sleepy Express Hotel and forced Craig to provide evidence to them Monita was lying again.
In point 12 Monita states she has been cyber bullied, harassed and intimidated by Craig. This is completely untrue and did not happen. Monita lied to the police about all this. Judge Truscott stated; “Well, the problem with that is, in terms of credibility, Mr Soper has entered the witness box. If anything, he's been, incredibly, quite candid and frank and honest... But he seems to genuinely think that he needed that information to be resolved for his own peace of mind. Where is the intent to intimidate?”
In Point 12 Monita states Craig constantly tries to contact her. This is untrue, Craig has not done this at all. Monita does not feel and fear and this is borne out during the trial as she agreed to meet up and Judge Truscott state it seems Monita did this as she as using the AVO to stop him posting on FB.
On point 3, Monita states in her statement they met in May 2016 this is incorrect. It is believed Monita meant May 2013 but in fact they Met online 3/4 January 2013. As the evidence shows and as Monita states under examination in her cross examination. Craig believes she did this as she lied to her ex-husband about the date they met.
Monita made these false statements to stop Craig making FB posts and to hurt him. Monita’s behaviour is both disgraceful and disgusting. It is appalling that she can lie and make false statements with impunity.
When their court case was going on Monita sat at one end of the foyer and Craig the other, neither speaking or acknowledging each other. Monita had her phone out texting the whole time. Craig laughed to himself, he recalled how she used to text him constantly like that. He realised she wasn’t in love with like she has said to him thousands of time, she was just need and needing constant attention and communication. He felt sorry for her and her new boyfriend, they will never have a happy life together.
Monita continues to stalk and harass Craig
Subsequent to the Court case Monita has gone to great lengths to hide the truth. Craig has mentioned what happened on his Facebook and also had a blog. Monita has had her lawyers threaten him to stop talking (and telling the truth) about Monita and what happened between them. And when he said he wouldn’t talk about Monita anymore it seems she then started harassing him on Facebook through an anonymous account complaining about all his posts and pictures, which he had to spend time defending. There were complaints laid weekly about his blog to blogger and google. Because Monita won’t agree to acknowledge or to stop harassing him Craig has rescinded his previous agreement. Craig is of the opinion she just cant stop harassing and stalking him because she has a controlling and obsessive personality. He still loves her and wants her to be happy, she was his hababy for so long but she needs to move on and stop trying to control, censor and harass Craig.
If Monita doesn’t like what Craig has said then she needs to change her values and behaviour and act in a manner that she wants people to perceive her. Starting telling the truth is a good start, and stop making false statements about people who cross her. If if she doesn’t like what she reads on Craig's Facebook then she should stop reading it.
In Conclusion don’t let your anger drive you to make bad decisions. All you do is hurt those you love and make yourself into a bad person. Monita got angry over Craig not adding on Facebook and this resulted in her going crazy, betraying her fiancee and making a false and vexations statement to Police.
