However, Michael did not respond to multiple approaches despite several requests for comment on the alleged matter. Paul McGirr is the lawyer of Nicholas who stated his client’s allegations were a “contested matter”. There is more evidence to follow.

The New South Wales Police Department says it is reviewing the employment status of Nicholas. He is a constable and assigned to a special command unit.
