Legal issues
In April 2018, Lavelle was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and common assault after an incident at the SinCity nightclub in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Australia.[6] Lavelle appeared in Southport Magistrates Court on 31 October 2018, where he was found guilty of assault and causing bodily harm.[7][8]
The court heard Lavelle had urinated on a dance floor next to two girls, after which a cousin of one of the girls confronted Lavelle about his behaviour.[7][8] A fight between Lavelle and the man broke out when Lavelle commenced throwing punches, one of which struck one of the girls.[7][8] The magistrate dismissed the suggestion that Lavelle had acted in self-defence, and handed him a nine month suspended sentence.
