Sourthern Cross University Law Lecturer Flashes Bum at Queensland Judge

Posted by The Spy | Posted in Law and disorder | Posted on 10.20am

After reporting a few weeks ago the news that a Victoria University Law Lecturer allegedly swapped sex for marks,  it emerged yesterday that yet another bottom-of-the-barrel saga is set to further tarnish Australia’s educational reputation.
Southern Cross University Law Lecturer Megumi Ogawa exposed her ample derriere at a judge at the conclusion of her trial on
the ass end of the law
charges of using a carriage service to harass and using a carriage service to threaten to kill Federal Court of Australia officials.
Ogawa opted to represent herself at the trial, soon finding herself repeatedly ejected from a Brisbane District Court for screaming, making disparaging comments about the justice system and wrestling with corrective services officers. Her offensive, but hilarious antics landed her with four months’ jail for contempt of court for what District Court Judge Stuart Durward termed “disgusting behaviour” during trial.
As noted by Brisbane Times:

Judge Durward charged Ogawa with contempt just moments after a jury found her guilty… She… flashed her bottom on one occasion when she was being dragged into court.

In the Brisbane Court of Appeal today, Ogawa’s lawyer Angelo Vasta asked for the contempt convictions to be set aside on the grounds that Ogawa was denied the opportunity to have a proper trial by jury on the contempt charges. ‘The failure to allow a jury rather than the judge denied her to say she had an impairment to her mental capacity,” Mr Vasta said. “The question of her behaviour in court should have been tested by a jury under separate proceedings.”

He is also appealing Ogawa’s other convictions, arguing inadmissible and irrelevant evidence given in the trial led to prejudice and a trial miscarriage.
