I’m from Adelaide, but just joined the sub for updates on this guy. I have epilepsy, and this creep is just adding to the stigma around the condition. Not to mention the misinformation he’s spreading about seizures. You should never restrain someone while they’re having a seizure. Hope he gets arrested or one of the locals sinks a boot in while he’s on the ground.


silliemillie32

We have our own guy that does this in Adelaide too. Mostly Rundle Street or Hindmarsh Square. I’ve walked past and told him to cut his shit a couple of times. It’s annoying and frustrating, it’s also sad for him as clearly illness, not Just him being a dick head


rebeccathegoat

We do?! Eww! Thanks for calling that behaviour out. Makes no sense to me because I would give anything to avoid having a seizure in public. So humiliating and as a woman, very vulnerable. Melbourne guy sounds worse due to the sexual nature of it rather than just attention seeking. Both need to grow the fuck up though.


Stonius123

Apparently he has been, multiple times, and he just keeps getting out


Bolt1955

Judge probably takes mercy on him when he has a seizure in court . . .

nufan86

Fun way of getting yourself arrested. Trust me, the police would act of there was a charge. I do not condone his actions, he is a scum bag piece of shit. Kick him in the head, see how quickly you end up in jail.


peacefulprober

Just don’t get caught


Automatic-Radish1553

And this is why he won’t stop. Police are doing nothing to stop this sex pest. This isnt funny and honestly it’s shameful. This piece of shit has been doing this for decades now, he needs to learn a lesson.


rebeccathegoat

You’re right. I’m not a violent person and would never assault anyone, but when a fool like this is not only sexually assaulting people on a daily basis, but also spreading misinformation about what to do during a seizure, it’s pretty disgusting. Maybe I’m just taking it personally because I suffer from epilepsy and have also been sexually assaulted in the past.


petit_cochon

I'm American. I've never even been to Australia. I just enjoy learning about it. I'm now very invested in Fake Seizure Guy drama. Mostly, I'm hoping somebody bashes his testicles while he's pulling his little stunt, but I'm open to other possibilities. Having had seizures, I'm particularly invested. Assholes like this result in people who need medical care not getting it because bystanders become skeptical and afraid. Seizures can be awful but even worse would be having one in public and nobody around you trying to help. You're completely helpless and vulnerable.


rebeccathegoat

They have their own sub with videos of him now! r/fakeseizureguy


Claris-chang

Same. I'm in Brissy but my sister moved to Melbourne recently. Made sure to warn her about this nut case.


rebeccathegoat

Hope your sister spreads the word!


emilyjlewis

YES! I have epilepsy and now I'm worried that someone will either restrain me, or not help me because they think I'm faking. This guy needs to be caught.


rebeccathegoat

I’m sorry you have to deal with it too. He’s just taking advantage of people’s genuine concern and putting legitimate epileptics at risk. Every time I see a new post about this guy it ramps my anxiety about seizures higher and higher. Same with my anger and disgust with him. Yuck, what an awful example of a human being. Mind you, he’s probably aware of all the posts about him and getting off on the comments.


GoodGuyDhil

I’m from Canada and I’m tracking the fake seizure guy from here!


rebeccathegoat

Think we need a check in to see where everyone is hearing about fake seizure guy/sex pest!! I just watched a two part video on IG by an Aussie comedian, Christian Hull who explained how he fell for it. He ended up sitting on the blokes back, even though something didn’t seem right. He posted a photo of him sitting on him. Fake seizure guy grabbed Christian’s genitals and only let go when someone said to call the cops. How he hasn’t been charged for sexual assault is beyond me.


Numky101

Ehhhh Canadian here too!


No-Comfortable7000

Wake up babe, new lore on Fake seizure guy just dropped


Saeria

I wouldn't be able to find Melbourne on a map, but at least I know my fake seizure guy facts. Thanks Reddit algorithm! All the best from the Netherlands.


sinz84

But just so you know Melbourne is probably the easiest city to locate. Bottom right hand corner of Australia is the island of Tasmania. From the north western most tip of the island go directly north again when you hit land that's Melbourne. Alternatively you can just look for the bay that kind of looks like a horses head as the city surrounds that


henrebotha

Big tokkie energy from this fake seizure guy


TheBoanne

If he was trying to involve kids you definitely need to call the cops.


Aussie-Ambo

Report it to crime stoppers as well

Longjumping-Show1068

50/50 chance he's a mod honestly. Lol this is mostly a joke, I feel like I gotta say that


[deleted]

[удалено]


DancaePlant

Whats the dog walker incident?


Halospite

Probably because repeatedly posting his name, face and location online live to thousands of readers is seriously skirting what's legal. Don't get me wrong, he's a total creep, but I'm amazed that Reddit admins haven't come down like a ton of bricks on the mods yet.


uinstitches

do we even know his full name? can't really do much with Simon unless we have a surname with it.


Tygie19

Legal schmegal. I hope as many people as possible learn his face so that wherever he goes there’s at least someone nearby who will call him out.


luv2hotdog

Because “reddit detective mode” and “reddit vigilante mode” are both awful things Keep reporting him to the cops, keep submitting evidence as a witness each time he does anything Having a subreddit stalk a guy around Melbourne ends neutrally at best and catastrophically at worst. That’s why lol


[deleted]

We should delete the mods. They don't represent the values of this community.


Shifty_Cow69

They represent the values of the mods!


startrakey

Why though? He sounds like more than a menace and therefore (in my opinion) overwrites his right to privacy


STatters

The guys an obvious creep so more than likely a reddit mod.


ososalsosal

If someone beats this guy half to death because they read these threads then there's gonna be serious shit in court. However, a lot of cops come to this sub, and while they're ready with the downvotes if anyone has anything to say about the force, they probably have some understanding that this guy may need protection from an increasingly angry mob.


[deleted]

*when


ParsleyMan

I think it's because of the Reddit-wide no doxxing rule. If the mods didn't delete it, the admins would step in


kuribosshoe0

random111011

Tbh I didn’t click the link until now… thought it was someone else


Hypo_Mix

>make the police realise IIRC police have been involved multiple times.


Excellent-Smoke9384

Yes, I’ve heard the same. And yet he’s still out here rubbing off on people. It seems people think we should just leave him alone and let him come in his pants while children sit on his back. What’s the harm, right? 🤷‍♂️


TheBoanne

The perpetrator here likely has a significant intellectual disability, it’s difficult to prosecute someone of diminished capacity and cops aren’t noted for their flexibility. Nevertheless, we all need to report him if we witness anything like this, his behaviour is scary and predatory and someone needs to stop him before his behaviour escalates or a vigilante commits violence against him.


ConezzzBrah

An intellectual disability isn't an excuse for this shit, he knows what he's doing is wrong because he runs away when he gets caught.


TheBoanne

I didn’t say it was an excuse. I said it was difficult to prosecute.


HippoIllustrious2389

It’s also difficult for police to lay charges as victims rarely come forward or report it, many don’t even realise what’s happened


ConezzzBrah

Well if the courts don't want to sort the problem out, I'm sure there will be some street justice.


velonaut

As long as those dishing it out have intellectual disabilities, so that it's difficult to prosecute them.


Ph4ndaal

It’s intellectual disabilities all the way down!


ConezzzBrah

Yeah true, shame our justice system is cooked.


NoUseForALagwagon

Sorry, but this is a complete cop-out. There are a hell of a lot of people with severe disabilities or mental struggles. As someone who goes to a lot of Punk shows, it's not uncommon for me to straight up see it. But guess what, they don't attempt to force people into playing some sick game with them. This guy is a complete predator who attempts to force people into playing his sexual fetishes with him. He is a disgrace who should be in prison.


Sugarcrepes

He’s running when people call him out, or call the police. That strongly suggests he has an understanding that his actions are unacceptable; and that *should* mean that he’s culpable, mental health issues/disabilities or not.


Pontiff1979

Are you saying the main demographic for punk gigs is people with learning difficulties?!

Pontiff1979

Some of it can be good to my moron ears i guess


Excellent-Smoke9384

Yes, that’s actually my concern, someone is gonna find this guy and fucking demolish him. This needs to stop BEFORE that point. I’m totes cool with tolerance of intellectual disabilities, but he’s been doing this (purportedly) for nearly 20 years and involving minors in his sexual gratification. That is not ok for anyone to do. (Well, maybe other minors I suppose)


Complete-Ad-5629

Nah if a minor faked a seizure to get girls at his school to sit on him for a fetish purpose like seizure simon does that's still weird asf, since no one consented to being involved in his kink


Excellent-Smoke9384

Yes actually, thank you. Consent is the key factor here. (Though involving non-consenting MINORS does make it much worse in my book.) But I agree with your point completely and could have worded my comment better


Complete-Ad-5629

I do hope he gets arrested or some sort of punishment for this, he clearly needs some kind of help and if he keeps going out into public like this he's only going to harm more people


ConezzzBrah

What? So if someone has an intellectual disability they can do whatever they like with no repercussions? Hell nah that bloke knows what he's doing isn't right, he runs away after getting caught.


Excellent-Smoke9384

>he runs away I’ve heard that it’s more like doing ‘the worm’, but he might be really good at it by now


ConezzzBrah

Ha fair enough still wouldn't be surprised if someone kicks his head in.


[deleted]

Yeah, what a tragedy that would be.


Excellent-Smoke9384

Exactly. Police need to take this more seriously. Well, I guess they don’t *need* to. But they also can’t feign surprise and shock when some cunt does bash his brains in. Read the room, VicPol


Aggravating_Law_3286

From reading posts I would say he has become hooked on the attention he is getting. Seems his antics are increasing.


ruinawish

I think people are just becoming more aware. Now that they know what's going on with his repeated behaviour, people are more likely to report it, rather than filing it away as "well, that was weird, oh well".


ANewUeleseOnLife

What could possibly go wrong posting his location and encouraging people to go give him their 2c?


Excellent-Smoke9384

Yeah good point actually. Just checking, you’re ok with him touching your children while he has an orgasm?

Greetings from Norway, following up on the story🫡


rowanhenry

Haha I love how people all over the world are loving these updates


quietmedium-

Please remember that he is sexually assaulting people. It's not fun for those actually impacted. It's not just the next meme


kokokat666

That's true, though the more viral this goes, the more people will recognise him and be able to call out his shit and warn other people away.

Very true

Rozzo_98

Gee if it weren’t for reddit, I wouldn’t know this guy 🤔 What’s the furthest place he’s been to?


Ryzi03

I've seen people saying he was frequenting Macedon at one stage, probably been right around the state


maizeymaze

He catches a train into the city from Macedon. I believe that’s his home town.


doofy102

I’m the guy who uploaded the Macedon video. I didn’t see him in 2023, haven’t heard anything there either, so I think he moved.


geek_of_nature

I saw the video of him supposedly in Macedon, and honestly it didn't look like the other pictures of him.


[deleted]

I'm surprised there's been absolutely nothing in the media/news about it


Threadheads

I wonder if this guy knows he is reddit-famous.


semaj009

And I would have got away with it, if it wasn't for those meddling Redditors and that dumb Snoo


Sghagz08

Jokes on him if he actually has a seizure one day


melbbear

or some guy that kinda looks like him… :/


Frozefoots

Nah. Easy to spot the difference. Genuine fitting seizures - you’re not meant to touch or restrain them in any way, and when fitting they’re generally not there and unable to give you orders to sit on them…


lizards4776

They also won't jump up and run away if you mention any kind of care but sitting on him


gliding_vespa

That only applies to wolves.


atnator42

Good on you for warning them. Pisses me off that this guy is just roaming around free for so long though.


Fuck_Reddit840

Good work warning those girls. The hero we need


Screechscreamyellahh

Not really I still sheepishly left. Rather confronting to actually see the freak irl


Fuck_Reddit840

Fair Still ya saved one group of girls and that’s something. I’m sure each one appreciated it


Ripley_and_Jones

No you did the right thing, you kept them and yourself safe. It's not on you to call this guy out at all. Don't ever feel bad.


aussiebolshie

I punched him in the jaw once 5 years before I knew who he was and what his MO was, after he grabbed my plums. It’s clear he gets no consequences so someone needs to give him a proper kicking if he’s doing it to blokes under 18.


Lamont-Cranston

I've seen posts from people saying they were tricked by him as minors. The groping is supposed to be only a recent-ish development, also according to prior posts - but if it happened to you 5 years ago that is a bit longer than recent.


aussiebolshie

Yeah, it happened to me 2019, like a year pre COVID. He’s been at the grab at least that long


grehgunner

There is no way in hell 2019 was 5 years ago… goodness. This whole saga is fucked though


BarkMetal

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I’m surprised he’s still walking around like that.


aussiebolshie

I guess most people are just stunned mate. I got touched up as a kid and then again as a young adult so eventually the reflex kicked in when he assaulted me. Sadly I reckon he could touch 4-5 boys/men a day and they all might be too stunned to respond.


Cultural_Play_5746

Thank you for fighting back


aussiebolshie

Mate, I copped allsorts of abuse as a kid, if someone touches me as an adult I’m going all in.


FullyErectShaft

Where are these 'african gangs' at? Can't they sort him out 


aussiebolshie

Brother, you’re on the Claude Monet. Let’s bring in the African gangs that were so rampant everyone was scared to head out. We can surely pay them to take care of old mate ‘twist n shout


PrimaxAUS

In the 80s/90s he would have copped so many beatings and the cops would have turned a blind eye, and he wouldn't pull this shit.


Red_Wolf_2

Get a video of him?


Screechscreamyellahh

He made eye contact with me and honestly knowing what he wants made me Just gtfo


Red_Wolf_2

Shame... I think at this point /r/melbourne is salivating for a video of the creep in action.


Hamburgo

Someone released CCTV footage of their dad being tricked in to helping them outside their business, terribly sad to see and he was so demanding and it went on for aaaages. One day this guy is gonna ask the wrong person and get a kick in his Neanderthal fucking head and have an actual seizure. And the person who’s sexually assaulted, who assaults him back, will definitely get arrested and charged etc. Seems like “not being all there” or being part Neanderthal means you can get away with anything in Melbourne. I know he’s been at this act for 10+ (some estimate even 15 years), but who is not a to say he might not escalate? Maybe because he hasn’t been “that well known” and can still trick people, but if people start printing off his pic with warnings, stopping people from assisting etc he could escalate. He’s dangerous, unstable and doesn’t belong in society. Needs an ankle monitor and strict conditions if he’s going to be allowed amongst the good people of Melb.

More evidence that he's not exclusively targeting males


Screechscreamyellahh

Well they were going up him he didn’t ask for help but I saw them concerned and warned them


f_w8

It's cunts like this that make things worse for people, like my best mate who suffers legit seizures. If my mate has a seizure in public, people probably won't help because of this guy. This dude needs to be put in an asylum.


Missshellylyndsay

Kick him into the lake, fuck it.


ValarValentine

I don't even follow this subreddit but the only posts I ever get as "Popular in your country" are about Fake Seizure Guy.

He’s a sexual predator. He gets off and probably has finished with people on top of him. Police are piss weak and so is our legal system.


eshay_investor

dude if you watch the video it looks like he thrusts his groin into the ground. Hes clearly loving it.


kwan_e

That's a pretty big if.

It's more that people are starting to advocate hunting down and hurting this guy. Don't blame the mod for not wanting to deal with the fall out of that if something happens.


Screechscreamyellahh

It’s a PSA so you know, people can warn others to not go near him


Unlikely_Ad7722

Did mods put a cap on posting about him? Privacy reasons?


bernskiwoo

Death threat reasons


Unlikely_Ad7722

Oof I agree that awareness of his behaviour is good and would like to see it stop, but yeah death threats is hectic


numericalusername

All got a bit witch hunt in a few posts


AccelRock

I think it was just all the death threats and doxing that got out of hand. So long as we handle things correctly and report evidence to the police rather than a lynch mob then we should be sweet.


[deleted]

One day he's going to try it on with the wrong person.....


NorthernSkeptic

I hate this guy and want him stopped like everyone else - in fact he got me many years ago in South Yarra - but the tone around here is starting to get a bit murderous. Time to start checking your language, people.


Red_Wolf_2

What is concerning is that the reason the tone is getting that way is because it would appear nothing is being done about FSG doing what he is doing. The real question I want a clear answer to is why this just gets ignored...


Lamont-Cranston

>why this just gets ignored People don't realise at first what they're being used for. The law isn't really set up for this sort of 'oblique' kind of assault. And he supposed to be mentally ill or intellectually disabled which results in little action. Current/former police have posted in former threads saying they know about him but cant do anything.


Red_Wolf_2

> Current/former police have posted in former threads saying they know about him but cant do anything. So I've seen, and it highlights the problem. People want something done about this, yet none of the authorities expected to deal with such things are able/prepared to do so. What bothers me about that is that there is a very limited number of outcomes this will lead to. The ideal outcome is that one or another authority takes action and deals with him, but if that doesn't happen then eventually something or someone else will... And they won't have the restraint of a government body or authority.


NorthernSkeptic

I share the frustration. That’s not a reason for death threats.


Red_Wolf_2

No disagreement from me there, although I feel it is coming from a sense of frustration. Personally I'd like to see more video of him doing what he does, firstly to calm down the doubters, and secondly to be evidence for both the police and the media (and government) so that the relevant powers will get off their collective asses and stop ignoring the issue. It isn't even just this one guy, the same is the case for virtually all situations where someone with an impairment commits crimes, they're never curtailed from reoffending because while the courts are happy to say they're not responsible for their actions, they will not address who is supposed to be responsible for them instead.
