Former NRL star Brett Finch would be at increased danger behind bars because prisoners won't understand the "subtleties" in his child abuse case, his lawyer has told a court.
The Maitland-born Finch, who was earlier this year named in the Valentine-Eleebana team of the half century, was arrested in December 2021 as one of eight men accused of being involved in a telephone chat line where police alleged sexual abuse of children was discussed and abuse material was swapped.
