Fairfax Media has advised that it may appeal against a court ruling that it defamed West Indian cricket player Chris Gayle in a series of articles which claimed that he had exposed himself to a female masseuse. The four-person jury also found that Fairfax published the contentious articles out of malice. Amongst other things, Gayle had sought aggravated and special damages from the media company.

Australian lawyer Mark O’Brien will represent West Indian cricket player Chris Gayle in a defamation lawsuit against Fairfax Media. The lawsuit is in response to media reports that Gayle indecently exposed himself to a female employee of the team in the dressing rooms during a 2015 World Cup match in Sydney. Gayle has denied the allegations and the International Cricket Council has indicated that it is not aware of the alleged incident.
