Lyons is one of those rare birds who doesn’t hide behind a defence of mental illness or abuse or a claim of innocence
The children’s surf coach and WSL surfer Connor Lyons, who was charged with multiple sex crimes against kids last December, and, a few months later, four more charges of indecent treatment of kids under twelve, has pleaded guilty in a Sunshine Coast court.
You’ll remember a few months back he told the court “all the charges on there are true.”
Connor Lyons, twenty-six and representing himself after benching his lawyer, is one of those rare birds who doesn’t hide behind a defence of mental illness or abuse or a claim of innocence or even a misunderstanding. It makes it a helluva lot easier for the cops, the prosecution and the families of the four kids he abused.
All up, Lyons carries thirty-three charges linked to the four alleged child victims, the crimes happening between 2022 and 2024, with the heaviest charge carrying a possible 20-year sentence.
They encompassed inappropriate conduct with minors under 16 and producing child exploitation content.
According to police, Lyons recorded his own illicit activities and saved the files on an external hard drive. Examination of his laptop allegedly revealed connections to child exploitation materials, including a video depicting a nude child changing.
Documents opposing his bail noted that Lyons allegedly told investigators he used the material and videos for sexual gratification and that he would “get off” to the kiddie porn.
Further analysis of his laptop allegedly pointed to child exploitation literature, and police claim Lyons also acknowledged committing offences against children during a trip to China. Lyons reportedly admitted to exposing himself to minors on several occasions.
He told detectives that his intent was to gauge their interest and to normalise the behaviour for them.
Whatever you think of Connor Lyons, it’ll be a quick trial and get, you’d think, five-to-ten behind bars.
He’ll remain in protection for the duration unless he’s feeling suicidal and faces the yard.
Below the liners, did you experience creeps bein’ creepy when you were a kid? I got nothing except, once, an old clubbie tugging at my little speedos as I refused his personal tour of the “clubhouse.”
the breville toasted sandwich maker in the pillow case. That’s what he’ll be getting on the regular
He is just a cunt full stop
The fuck’n president of the Surf Club which I was a member (Maroubra), was a Peodophile … later convicted and Gaoled!
Cunt was also a school teacher!!!
Predators don’t stray too far from potential prey.
Please define “12 or so”, and were you in the clear after the “so”!?
Looking for redemption perhaps. Clear the decks, confess, and take it full on. Perhaps in classic wild surfer tradition it’s how the cards are dealt. How the wave descends towards your head and sometimes it works out. And sometimes it don’t.
shit, I’m an antisemite now too? well, I’m sure I’ll get bored with the subject once someone else does something worthy of ridicule
Wow, you actually don’t care at all about the Girl in this.
Plus, he’s still a sophomore.
Wildcard him for the Streaky Bay Invitational.
BOHICA!
why do you even care what I post here or anywhere else?
smash that like button!
I’m shaking in my boots—those homeschooled trust fund kids of San Clemente truly are a rough bunch of lads. I pray they don’t hurt me.😂😂😂
He’s not wrong, though. You’ve made your point. A solid point.
It’s a bit ……gen Z social media style to just harp on over and over about something that’s perfectly legal, even if you don’t agree with it. Some chicks like older, wealthy, athletic guys. Some guys in their 20s like 18 year olds.
Seems a bit strange to bring it up so often out of the blue when it has nothing to do with you.
I bet he’d say absolutely nothing if he didn’t have the veil of anonymity on. The person getting hurt the most in his quest to shame Griff is the poor girl, getting her name dragged through the mud while Com plays internet Sheriff.
ah, the old “calling this out is hurting the victim” gambit. a tried and true logical fallicy.
I bet on your normal socials with your real name attached to it there is zero mentions of this.
I bet that even if there were, literally no one would care. Just like no one outside of the below the line commentators here cares.
Griff does not care one way or another what I post on social media. His girlfriend and her family do not care either. The San Clemente homeschooled trust fund mafia does not care either. If any of those people were even aware what I post one way or another and they had a problem, I would have been contacted and told to meet down at Tower 9 at high noon with Otto and Johnsknees.
So yeah, no as predicted. Because people do care as much as you care what people think.
In 6th grade gym class the creepy teacher made all the boys dress out and shower after class but you had to get your towel from him AFTER the shower and naked, ugh.
what the actual fuck!!!
Your mum worked at the court?
Think Griff is next?
20 years isn’t even close to enough.
Couldn’t agree more. Sounds like a pretty light sentence. I’d be curious to know what amount of time he’d be facing on those charges in the states.
Counselor Turren, any idea?
Depends on the State and depends on how many charges are stacked. California is lighter on sentencing for those kinds of offenses than other States for a single offense, but that still adds up to a very long sentence when you have multiple victims and multiple charges.

One life term for every child’s life he ruined.
Will he say daylight again?
