SA backpacker lured to pig farm after alleged rapist responds to Gumtree ad

A South Australian man allegedly abducted and raped a backpacker after responding to her Gumtree advertisement looking for farm work, a court has heard.

Gene Charles Bristow, 54, is on trial in the South Australian District Court charged with the aggravated kidnapping, rape and attempted rape of a 24-year-old woman in February 2017.

Opening the trial on Tuesday, prosecutor Michael Foundas said the European backpacker had made an online post in search of temporary farm work.

Mr Foundas said the ad was answered by Bristow, who offered her work and accommodation under a false company name.

The court heard Bristow picked the woman up from a bus stop at Murray Bridge and drove her back to his farm at Meningie, about 150km southeast of Adelaide.It is alleged he took the woman to a disused pig shed on the property, several hundred metres from the house he shared with his family.

Once inside, jurors heard he bound her wrists and ankles, held a fake gun to her back and forced her to undress.He told her he was working in collaboration with others, and that she had to be good and love him.

It is alleged he also repeatedly sexually assaulted her inside the shed.

The court heard he chained her up and left her alone, until she eventually managed to break free and use her laptop to raise the alarm.

The prosecution says she re-shackled herself because Bristow had threatened to shoot her if she tried to escape.Jurors heard she was released by Bristow the next day when he checked her into a motel and left.

Mr Foundas said Bristow's plan was premeditated and well thought out.

"The plan was to lure young female backpackers to his farm where the unlucky victim would be held against their will and sexually abused by him," he told the court.

The trial continues before Judge Geraldine Davison.

WWE News: Paige returns to WWE RAW (Video)

What's the story?

Former WWE Divas Champion and former General Manager of WWE SmackDown, Paige made a surprise return to WWE RAW last night although it was just a brief appearance.

In case you didn't know...

Paige initially returned to action after a long lay-off in 2017 alongside Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose. However, things didn't go as planned for Paige. She picked up a serious injury in early 2018 at a WWE Live Event. Sadly, this injury forced Paige to retire from in-ring action.

Paige later returned as the SmackDown Live General Manager and did a great job until the McMahon's replaced her to take personal control of RAW and SmackDown.

We also found out that The Rock would be producing a movie on Paige's life "Fighting With My Family". The release of the movie is right around the corner and The Rock himself recently spoke about how difficult it was to get funding for the film:

"Every studio passed.They were afraid of the content. They were afraid that it was pro-wrestling, and they were concerned that it was a small British comedy of a family who was very likable — but also not particularly famous, from a very small working-class town in England. I’m a lucky son of a bitch to be in the position that I am, and we’re very lucky as a company to have had the success we’ve had. But at the end of the day, that didn’t mean shit when it came down to whether the studios wanted to invest or not.”

Paige made her return to WWE RAW for a brief moment but it was only to promote the upcoming film "Fighting With My Family". You can check out the video below:

What's next?

Fighting With My Family will release in select cinemas on 14th February and in other cinemas on 22nd Feb.

Chelsea transfer news: Gonzalo Higuain claim made about Maurizio Sarri demand

Chelsea transfer news: Gonzalo Higuain claim made about Maurizio Sarri demand

This is view of football transfer expert Ian McGarry.

The 31-year-old is expected to be the answer to Chelsea’s recent woes in front of goal.

And because the Argentine has previously played under Blues manager Maurizio Sarri when the pair were at Napoli in the Italian league, it’s expected to be a compatible match.However, McGarry does’t think this is the case because he believes Higuain thrives off crosses and Chelsea’s winger have a tendency to cut inside rather than push down the touchline.

“He’s the puzzle wrapped in a conundrum wrapped in a box called pandora,” McGarry said about Higuain on the Transfer Window podcast.

“Theoretically he’s playing under his favourite manager, a manager who got him 30 plus goals in two seasons at Napoli.

“That’s why he’s at Chelsea now, because Sarri effectively demanded that he come because [Alvaro] Morata clearly has not been a happy person in London or at Chelsea.

“Higuain theoretically should be the answer to Sarriball.“Unfortunately, Chelsea are not a team who cross the ball in the way that Napoli did.

“Even though they have so called wingers I’d say they are more attacking midfielders than they are wingers because Willian, Pedro and Eden Hazard all like to come in off the wing and pass in behind or around the corner rather than actually take the ball to the by-line and pass it through.

“What Higuain does best is arrive at the right rime, gets ahead of defenders or can go one-on-one.

“I think there’s a clash of styles, unlike as I was describing with Batshuayi and Crystal Palace with regards to it will take a lot of work to make Higuain get anywhere near 10 goals between now and the rest of the season.

“I’m putting my neck on the line and say that’s a miss.”Chelsea brought in Higuain from Juventus on a loan deal until the end of the season and have an option to buy him for £31.3million (€36m) if they want too.

There is little doubt Higuain was brought in as a replacement for Morata, who subsequently left to join Atletico Madrid on loan deal after Higuain’s arrival.

Morata joined Chelsea from Real Madrid in 2017 for a then club-record fee of £60m on a five-year contract.

But since his arrival from La Liga his return in front of goal has been poor - only 16 goals from 47 Premier League appearances.Sarri believes he has now brought in a finisher to Stamford Bridge, with Higuain having shown in the past a fantastic games to goal ratio when at Real Madrid, Napoli and Juventus.

However, in 22 games for AC Milan this season he only found the net eight times, which is only marginally better than Morata’s performances for the Blues.

After failing to score in his opening two games, Higuain did grab two goals in Chelsea’s 5-0 demolition of Huddersfield.

Sarri might have got the man he wants, but the pressure will now be on to secure qualification to the Champions League and to achieve that he will need Higuain to hit the ground running.
