Three prosecutions. All failed. A fabricated emergency deployed against a citizen within 7 hours of complaining to Federal Parliament. Now escalated to the Queensland Premier. Five years of alleged state-facilitated misconduct — documented here, in full, with official records.
Between 2020 and 2025, Anthony Smith was the target of a sustained campaign of harassment, identity theft, drug trafficking under his stolen identity, impersonation, and false complaints by an individual operating online under the aliases @kandykingX, @beat_slaya, @The_real_Tony_smith, @Au_BigFella, and others.
Smith's attempts to report this conduct to NSW Police as a victim were systematically not investigated. During the same period, NSW Police prosecuted Smith three times on complaints from @kandykingX. All three prosecutions failed. The same Police Prosecutor — Nicholas Nicolas — appeared in all three matters.
When Smith escalated his complaints to Federal Parliament in June 2025, NSW Police initiated a fabricated emergency welfare intervention against him in Queensland within 6 hours and 52 minutes — justified by a Triple Zero call that official GIPA records confirm never occurred.
Alleged NSW Police conduct includes: writing false entries into operational records (COPS); threatening involuntary mental health intervention when Smith attempted to report in person; ignoring a Cybertrace forensic report identifying @kandykingX as the operator of impersonation and drug-selling accounts; fabricating a Triple Zero call to trigger a cross-border health emergency; falsely claiming Smith had recent psychiatric history at St Vincent's Hospital (disproven); providing briefings to the NSW Minister for Police containing statements contradicted by the agency's own GIPA releases; and destroying records after prosecution collapsed.
@kandykingX is unpunished. The officers involved are unpunished. Both are capable of doing this again to someone else.
The events documented on this site take place in New South Wales between 2020 and 2026. They are not the first contact of @kandykingX with the criminal justice system. @kandykingX has a Queensland Magistrates Court record between 2011 and 2019 — five charges across four hearings in Brisbane, including possession of drug utensils (2011), possession of dangerous drugs and utensils (2015), contravention of a Domestic Violence Order (2015 — charge dismissed), and drug-driving with a relevant drug in blood or saliva (2019 — conviction recorded). The full certified record, with magistrate names, case file references, statute citations and outcomes, is set out in the Court Record section at the end of this page.
When NSW Police, beginning in 2021, were assessing complaints involving @kandykingX, the Queensland record above was not visible in their COPS database. The agency was assessing matters without the multi-jurisdictional history. The Queensland record is included on this page not as character evidence but as material context: there was a documented prior history. The current criminal proceedings against @kandykingX in NSW continue that record.

For years, Anthony Smith provided Kings Cross Police with detailed evidence of a sophisticated online criminal operation run by the individual operating as @kandykingX, who used Smith's identity and photographs to sell illicit drugs and commit fraud at scale.
@kandykingX operated multiple Telegram accounts including @The_real_Tony_smith and @frost_rich using Smith's name and photo to advertise and sell methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin.
The operation ran a structured funnel: Squirt.org ("RandyManDan") → Telegram @Au_BigFella → primary drug account @kandykingX. All sales final. Uber Parcel delivery available.
A $4,600 professional forensic report by Cybertrace explicitly linked @kandykingX's email address to a Microsoft account created under the name "Anthony Smith," proving identity theft. ISP: Swoop. IP: 103.53.118.254.
S/Cst Duncan Handley dismissed the Cybertrace evidence as "incoherent." Kings Cross PAC made a formal decision "to not investigate further." No arrest was made. @kandykingX continued operating.
Crime reported: Identity theft, drug trafficking, forgery, stalking
Subject: @kandykingX
Evidence provided: $4,600 Cybertrace forensic report, IP addresses, Telegram drug sale logs, bank records, video evidence
Police response: S/Cst Duncan Handley dismisses as "incoherent." Formal decision: "not investigate further."
Crime reported: Harassment via a single alleged missed phone call
Subject: Anthony Smith (the original whistleblower)
Evidence provided: An unverified sworn statement from @kandykingX
Police response: Pursuit across state lines. The OIC received the Telstra blue-portal carrier records (iASK_12647763) showing nil results — no calls made or received on the alleged number across the 7-day search period — on 3 February 2024. The charging decision was made 99 days later, on 12 May 2024. The nil-result was not disclosed in the brief of evidence served on the defendant.
The Cybertrace forensic report (Ref: 2025-4663) and the site owner's collected evidence document the @kandykingX operation in detail. Key elements visible in the public record include:
The @kandykingX Telegram account operates under the public-facing alias "Kandy" with the bio: "Imported sweets, come join the fray, For girls and boys who party and play! · Kings cross · Open Most Evenings"
Located by referenced address: 84 Darlinghurst Rd, Potts Point NSW 2011.
Peer ID: 7515693902.
The Telegram account @The_real_Tony_smith uses the site owner's name and photographs to advertise drug sales — the same identity that NSW Police charged the site owner with using to "harass" @kandykingX.
The drug service operates a structured customer funnel: Squirt.org profile "RandyManDan" → Telegram @Au_BigFella (referral account with bio noting "This acc is no longer monitored, please contact @kandykingX") → primary @kandykingX drug account.
Sample message captured in the chat logs: "Most of operation haha how do we do it safely. this looks like well can set up so you must have a way of transaction that ensures the seller and buyer are safe from police setups."
Documented Telegram offerings include arrangements described as a paid drug-injection service operating from the Kings Cross / Potts Point area, with delivery via Uber Parcel. The site owner provided this evidence to police on multiple occasions.
An ING bank statement was tendered as evidence in earlier proceedings (involving an associated victim) that contained four independent indicators of forgery: duplicate pages with identical transactions, formatting failures on page 3, a missing ten-day period creating mathematical discrepancy, and duplicate government payment reference numbers. NSW Police declined to verify the statement with ING despite the verbal admission of one officer that it "could have but chose not to" do so.
The Cybertrace report identified @kandykingX's email address as linked to a Microsoft account created under the name "Anthony Smith" — proving the identity theft. ISP: Swoop. IP: 103.53.118.254. The report cost the site owner $4,600 and was provided to NSW Police. S/Cst Duncan Handley dismissed it as "incoherent". Kings Cross PAC formally decided "to not investigate further".

Plain Clothes Senior Constable Joseph De Angeli of Kings Cross Criminal Investigations corresponded with the site owner during November 2024 regarding the Telegram accounts trading on the site owner's name and likeness. The site owner had provided detailed evidence including screenshots of @kandykingX's drug-selling Telegram account renamed to "Tony Smith" (@The_real_Tony_smith), pricing for ounce/half-ounce/gram quantities, an MS Teams account opened under the site owner's name linked to @kandykingX's gmail address, the @Au_BigFella / @frost_rich master account, and the Squirt.app and Scruff.app cross-referenced profiles.
De Angeli's reply on 29 November 2024 contains three distinct statements, all in the same email.
"Based on the information and evidence you've provided; I can confirm that [@kandykingX] appears to be using your first and last name as an alias."
In the same email, De Angeli set out his reasoning for declining to investigate the identity-theft component under sections 192I, 192J and 192K of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW):
"In this case, while [@kandykingX] appears to have used your name as an alias online, this does not meet the threshold for an offence under these sections. Using an alias, even if it matches your name, does not establish that he had possession of your personal identification documents or information, nor does it demonstrate intent to use your identity to commit an indictable offence. Without clear evidence of these elements, the conduct does not constitute an offence under sections 192K or 192J … In this case, a person using a name matching yours, would not suffice in these circumstances."
The same email closed with a written undertaking to refer the drug-supply component to other officers:
"I acknowledge the seriousness of your allegations regarding drug supply and have noted the information you provided. I will pass this on to the relevant officers for further consideration."
A subsequent GIPA application sought records of any such internal referral being made. The agency response was that no such record was held. The position taken by Superintendent Walters in the subsequent s.132 closure letter of 19 December 2025 — over twelve months later — adopted the same s.192I/J/K analysis as the basis for declining further investigation of the matter at Command level.
The investigating officer with the case in front of him acknowledged in writing that the identity theft was occurring. He simultaneously, in the same email, set out the legal analysis under which it would not be investigated as an offence. He gave a written undertaking that the drug-supply component would be passed to the appropriate unit. NSW Police's own records, accessed under the GIPA Act, do not establish that any such referral was made.

Three prosecutions. One complainant (@kandykingX). One prosecutor (Nicholas Nicolas). Three OICs (Hammer, Mewburn, Dellenty). In each case, the brief contained evidence directly incompatible with the sworn allegations — and in each case the prosecution proceeded regardless.
NSW Police alleged Smith breached bail by contacting @kandykingX via Signal. The prosecution relied on Optus subscriber records to prove it.

Seven counts: four of recording an intimate image (s.91P Crimes Act 1900), two of distribution (s.91Q), one AVO breach. Four recording counts and the AVO breach dismissed — not guilty. Two distribution counts: $500 fines each on recklessness as to consent.
Charged under s.474.17 Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). Three allegations: (1) Smith called @kandykingX on 4 September 2023 from mobile [number redacted]; (2) Smith sent messages from an "unknown profile" on 17–18 July 2023; (3) Smith operated the "legalabuse" Instagram account, which @kandykingX claimed not to have discovered until 23 November 2023.
The third prosecution (H81615839) was dismissed on 10 June 2025 when @kandykingX refused to give evidence. The conduct of the Officer in Charge (OIC Constable Dellenty, Kings Cross PAC) and the prosecutor (Nicholas Nicolas, who appeared in all three prosecutions) is the subject of a standalone exhibit lodged with the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC CASE20237645/RT). The eleven grounds are summarised below. Each is documented from official records already produced under GIPA or contained in the Brief of Evidence.

The eleven grounds as originally lodged are supplemented in subsequent submissions to the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission with a twelfth ground arising from the 15 March 2026 telephone exchange with Inspector Plumber, in which a Kings Cross PAC Inspector advised the site owner to stop submitting evidence relating to the matters under complaint.
Source: "Standalone LECC Exhibit: OIC and Prosecutor Misconduct in H81615839" lodged April 2026 under LECC CASE20237645/RT.
The third prosecution (H81615839) rested on Instagram messages allegedly sent by the site owner to @kandykingX on 17 and 18 July 2023. The Facts Sheet prepared by OIC Constable Dellenty described the messages as containing "a narrative of Ancient Greece" sent from "an unknown profile" which the victim was "initially unaware" belonged to the defendant.
The documentary evidence establishes:
The "documents provided by victim" item (Item 7) of the Brief of Evidence is absent from the brief as served. This is the item that would contain the screenshots @kandykingX showed police to support his claim — the foundational document of the alleged offending.
"Please stop emailing me."

On 25 June 2025, Anthony Smith lodged a formal complaint with the office of the Hon. Tanya Plibersek MP — a Federal Cabinet Minister — detailing the Kings Cross PAC's multi-year failure to investigate identity theft, drug trafficking, and hacking by @kandykingX. The documentary record establishes that Kings Cross Police initiated the cross-border welfare referral to Queensland Health on the morning of 25 June 2025 — the same day the complaint was lodged, and before the Plibersek correspondence had even been formally forwarded to the NSW Minister for Police.

The corrected story: Kings Cross initiated the welfare referral on the morning of 25 June, before the Plibersek correspondence had been formally forwarded to the Minister. The welfare referral was set in motion on the same day the complaint was first sent to Plibersek's office (at 3:33 AM that morning), and was already executing by the time the High Importance email landed at the Command the following morning.
"...the reason why I ask... is the gentleman... has made further complaints to a Federal Ministers Office and I need to respond to them."
This is not ambiguous. The officer did not write "I am concerned for this person's welfare." He wrote "I need to respond to them" — referring to a Federal Minister's office. The welfare referral was an administrative response to a political complaint, not a health intervention. The same-day mobilisation of a cross-border welfare referral, combined with the absence of any Triple Zero record (GIPA REV-2025-0858528) and the officer's own written admission of motive, establishes the operational character of the response.
The email sent by Kings Cross Officer 'Brendan' to Queensland Health on 25 June 2025 contains four demonstrable falsehoods — each contradicted by official records obtained under GIPA or the QLD Right to Information Act.
Falsehood: Officer claimed Smith made "self harm threats via triple zero about jumping in front of a train."
Fact: NSW Police GIPA Decision (Ref: 0834658) confirms NO RECORD of any such call exists. An internal COPS search of all Sydney City welfare CAD messages for 25–26 June 2025 returned nothing relating to Smith. The threat was fabricated to force interstate police attendance.
Falsehood: The welfare check was a medical necessity.
Fact: Officer admitted in writing on 27 June: "The reason why I ask [for the outcome] is the gentleman has made further complaints to a Federal Ministers Office and I need to respond to them." The check was a tool to manage a political complaint, not a health crisis.
Falsehood: Officer described Smith's complaints as "targeted at the victim" — framing @kandykingX as victim.
Fact: Smith was reporting identity theft and drug trafficking by @kandykingX. Police reframed whistleblowing as harassment to justify silencing the reporter.
Falsehood: Officer told QLD Health that Smith "last presented to St Vincent's Hospital in Darlinghurst in 2021."
Fact: QLD Health's subsequent clinical assessment found no evidence supporting this claim. It was medically disproven — another fabrication used to establish a false psychiatric history.
"Anthony was calm and polite during the telephone conversation, rapport was developed, and he engaged willingly and with ease during assessment. Socially appropriate. Able to share information."
Speech: Normal range in rate, tone, and volume.
Mood: "I am upset NSW Police this is not fair."
No homicidal thoughts identified or voiced during assessment.
Anthony denies current thoughts and plans of suicide.
Anthony denies current thoughts and plans of harming others.
Insight & Judgement: Intact. Anthony does have capacity currently to make informed decisions about his mental health care.
MDT review (Dr G Carrasco, SMO): "No rationale for MHA. Declined service." — Case closed to RCACT.
"It was determined under section 58(1)(b) of the GIPA Act, that it did not hold any information relating to a '000' call as described in the access application."
Internal review finding: "I have decided under section 58(1)(b) of the GIPA Act, that the agency does not hold the information requested by you."
"This office conducted a search in COPS for every 'concern for welfare' CAD message created in the Sydney City area (which includes Kings Cross) in the 48-hour period 25–26 June 2025. None of these messages related to you."
"I would also note that it would be very unusual for NSW police officers wishing to report concerns for a person resident in another state to contact an agency other than the Police Force in that area."
Two officers are documented as using the same direct-dial extension at Kings Cross Police Area Command, 1–15 Elizabeth Bay Road, Elizabeth Bay NSW 2011.
Professional Standards Duty Officer, Kings Cross PAC. Email signature on correspondence dated 20 September 2024 (released within GIPAA-2025-0943218, InfoLink pages 1–19): direct line (02) 8356 0027, extension 40027.
Kings Cross Proactive Crime Team. Email signature on correspondence to Queensland Health dated 25 June 2025 and 27 June 2025 (released under Queensland RTI Act, reference JIAU25/13749): extension 40027.
The two email signatures present the same Kings Cross PAC extension number. The site owner has lodged a GIPA application seeking the holder or holders of extension 40027 across the relevant period and the rostering records for that line.
The significance of the documentary match is for readers, oversight bodies, and any journalist or lawyer reviewing the case to consider in light of the chronology already established: the cross-border welfare referral to Queensland Health on 25 June 2025 was made within hours of the site owner's complaint to the office of a Federal Cabinet Minister, by an officer using the same internal extension as the Professional Standards Duty Officer who, in October 2024, had foreshadowed restrictions on the site owner's contact with the command.
Source: Inspector Martha Winch email signature, GIPAA-2025-0943218 InfoLink release. Officer "Brendan" email signature, Queensland Health RTI release JIAU25/13749. Both documents in evidence.
Three prosecutions. Same prosecutor. Same complainant. Three OICs. Exculpatory material in each brief before charges were laid. A fabricated emergency deployed within hours of a ministerial complaint. Administrative shutdowns of evidence submission. Records deleted after prosecution collapsed. This is an operational pattern.
Prosecution 1: Optus records relied upon to prove Signal contact after OIC admitted in writing they would not show it.
Prosecution 2: Screenshots from @kandykingX's own public gaming broadcast charged as covert home recordings. Detective confirmed no offending images existed — 11 weeks before hearing.
Prosecution 3: Telstra records showing no call was made sat in the same brief as the Facts Sheet alleging it. OIC held them 99 days before charging.
The dates, content, and structure of Smith's uninvestigated victim reports appear to have been repurposed as the alleged offending dates in charges against him.
Kings Cross Police initiated the cross-border welfare referral to QLD Health on the morning of 25 June 2025 — the same day the complaint was first sent to Plibersek's office, and before the correspondence had been formally forwarded to the NSW Minister. Justified by a Triple Zero call that GIPA REV-2025-0858528 confirms does not exist in any NSW Police record. Outcome at the 10 June 2025 hearing independently recorded in the defence solicitor's closing letter of 16 June 2025.
Briefings to the NSW Minister for Police contained statements directly contradicted by records later released under GIPA.
Inspector Martha Winch (Professional Standards) formally ended communication on 9 December 2024: "my communication with you will be ending" and "You will not be provided any information regarding [subject] at any time."
NSW Police Internal Review (File: 3 858525): "Constable Dellenty advised that upon finalisation of the local court matter some information she had received that was not saved on ViewIMS had been deleted." Potential breach of the State Records Act 1998.
"Evidence is not what is seen, but what is ignored."
On 23 January 2026, the site owner wrote directly to the Hon Yasmin Catley MP, NSW Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism. The correspondence was titled:
The letter set out specific, referenced evidence — drawn from NSW Police's own GIPA releases — documenting three materially false statements made to the Minister's office in earlier briefings. It cited:
The Minister's office referred the correspondence to NSW Police Force for response.
NSW Police responded on 19 February 2026 (reference F/2026/10870) under the signature of "Manager, Ministerial and Executive Services". The response addressed not a single piece of the documentary evidence the site owner had supplied. It repeated, in materially the same form, the same claims that had been disproven in the original 23 January correspondence.
"The matters raised in your correspondence have been fully investigated by the NSWPF on a number of occasions. The NSWPF's Kings Cross Police Area Command has informed you that there is insufficient evidence to substantiate your claims of identity theft."
The response made no reference to the specific GIPA-disclosed records the site owner had cited, no reference to the QLD Health RTI release, no reference to the Cybertrace forensic report, and no reference to the COPS record destruction acknowledged by the OIC herself.
The site owner replied to that letter addressing the deflection. That reply was not actioned.
The Minister did not see the evidence. The Minister referred the correspondence to the very police force whose conduct was the subject of the correspondence. The police drafted a response on behalf of the Minister that ignored every piece of evidence supplied. The response was sent under the Minister's authority. The political accountability mechanism reflected the police misconduct allegations back at the complainant as "insufficient evidence".

On 15 March 2026, the site owner spoke by phone with Inspector Plumber of Kings Cross Police Area Command. The call lasted approximately one hour and eight minutes and was a follow-up to a portal complaint lodged five days earlier.
Contemporaneous notes of that call record the Inspector advising the site owner to stop submitting evidence to NSW Police about the conduct documented elsewhere on this site. The Inspector's position, per the notes, was that the police service already held the material and that further submissions were unnecessary.
"We don't need to keep being sent this information."
"So we don't need any more of that. So we don't need the complaints — these ongoing complaints."
In the same call, the site owner described — in his own words — the documented destruction of evidence by the Officer in Charge of H81615839 following the dismissal of that prosecution on 10 June 2025: that data the OIC had received "was not saved on ViewIMS and has been deleted." That destruction is independently established by NSW Police's own GIPA Internal Review Notice of Decision (REV-2025-0858525), in which the OIC's admission is recorded by the agency.
This is a Kings Cross PAC Inspector, on the record in a substantial telephone exchange in March 2026, advising a documented complainant to stop submitting evidence relating to ongoing alleged offending — including evidence relating to an officer's destruction of records following a failed prosecution. It is the most recent documented officer position on the matter.

The Apprehended Violence Order framework in New South Wales is designed to protect people at risk of family or domestic violence. The documentary record in this matter discloses a pattern of asymmetric application.
Within five days of being housed by the site owner, @kandykingX indicated to him that he would seek to add the site owner to an existing AVO application in which @kandykingX was the respondent. NSW Police initiated an Apprehended Violence Order against the site owner, with @kandykingX as the protected person. COPS Event records of this period are held in agency systems.
The site owner applied to NSW Police, Kings Cross PAC, for an Apprehended Violence Order against @kandykingX. The application was refused. The site owner has sought records of that refusal via the GIPA Act.
Multiple subsequent attempts by the site owner to report ongoing conduct — including impersonation, identity theft, drug trafficking under his impersonated identity, and online harassment — were not accepted as the foundation for protective orders against @kandykingX.
At the dismissal of the third prosecution (H81615839), the prosecution was prepared to seek an extension of the existing protective order against the site owner. @kandykingX's failure to attend court to give evidence prevented that application from being advanced.
The framework was used in 2021 to bring the site owner under a protective order in favour of @kandykingX. The same framework was not available to the site owner against @kandykingX, despite multi-year documented reporting of escalating conduct.

A documented chat exchange dated 20 February 2025 between the site owner and a person known as "Louis," a building concierge introduced into the matter by Detective Alex Chatfield, contains two distinct problematic elements.
In the chat, Louis confirms that Detective Chatfield had requested he "make something up" about the site owner. The chat post-dates Chatfield's January 2022 case file establishment (COPS Event E83652754) by three years. Louis's confirmation is documentary corroboration of a fabrication request that until that point had rested on the site owner's recollection.
In the same chat exchange, Louis offered to "make [him] disappear" — referring to @kandykingX. On the site owner's account, that offer was a clear setup: had the site owner engaged with it, the conversation could have been used as evidence of the site owner planning serious harm against the complainant.
The Louis interaction reads in two directions. In one direction it corroborates a detective's request to a civilian witness to fabricate material against a documented victim. In the other direction it positions the same civilian to draw the documented victim into a conversation that, if engaged with, would have generated material justifying a criminal charge against him. The same person operated both sides of that interaction.
The site owner did not engage with the disappearance offer. He preserved the chat and reported it.

On 9 March 2026 — nine months after NSW Police deployed Queensland Health as a cross-border instrument of retaliation — a formal letter was sent directly to Queensland Premier David Crisafulli MP demanding a state-level response. The letter was titled: "Queensland Sovereignty and Resident Safety — NSW Police Weaponised Queensland Emergency Services Against a Political Complainant."
The core allegation to the Premier: A sworn officer of another state fabricated a mental health emergency to deploy Queensland's emergency resources against a Queensland resident — not to protect him, but to surveil him and retaliate for a lawful democratic act. It occurred on Queensland soil. It consumed Queensland resources. It was used to suppress accountability for documented misconduct — including an 18-month malicious prosecution that collapsed in court on 10 June 2025.
The full evidence chain — including the RTI release, the NSW GIPA denial, the clinical outcomes, and a complete timeline — was provided as a public record available on request.
RTI release JIA/U25/13749 from Queensland Health is now a public government record. It contains the NSW Police referral email and the officer's 27 June 2025 follow-up, which reads:
"The reason why I ask is the gentleman, as of yesterday, has made further complaints to a Federal Ministers Office and I need to respond to them."
This email — sent the day after the welfare check — establishes that the intervention was a response to ministerial complaints, not a health crisis.
NSW Police GIPA Decision (Ref: 0834658) confirms the Triple Zero call cited as the basis for the QLD emergency referral does not exist in any COPS record. NSW Police confirmed: "it did not hold any information relating to a '000' call as described in the access application."
A COPS search of every welfare CAD message in the Sydney City area for 25–26 June 2025 returned no record relating to the subject. The emergency was fabricated.
That the Premier's office direct the Crime and Corruption Commission to investigate whether Queensland emergency services were improperly weaponised by interstate police through fabricated grounds.
That Queensland formally raise a state-level complaint with the NSW Government and the NSW Law Enforcement Conduct Commission regarding the misuse of Queensland's emergency referral framework by NSW Police.
That Queensland consider legislative or inter-governmental agreement reforms to prevent Queensland residents from being targeted via interstate misuse of welfare referral protocols without jurisdictional authority or oversight.
That Queensland ensure the subject is not subject to further cross-border retaliation while these matters are under investigation — given the pattern of conduct already documented.
"A Queensland resident was raided by proxy for complaining about police. You have the standing and the responsibility to respond."

In April 2026, @kandykingX faced separate proceedings in regional New South Wales — a committal in matter 2026/00070993, with appearances scheduled at Newcastle Local Court on 22 April 2026 and Maitland Local Court on 23 April 2026.
The current proceedings are a separate domestic violence matter involving a separate complainant. They are not the site owner's case. The complainant's identity is not published here.
The relevance to the matters documented on this site is contextual:
In the lead-up to the current committal, contemporaneous evidence captured by the site owner records @kandykingX making explicit drug-supply admissions, self-disclosure of recent custody, and surveillance commentary on the site owner's identifiers. This material was provided to NSW Police via portal complaint on 19 April 2026 — two days before the committal date.
"I'm selling drugs here so I'm not going to send a face pic sorry"
Price list: "Hg 200 / G. 300 / Hb 400 / Ball 700"
"Str8 fresh out of lock up — in need of cash"
"So easy to trace people online :P"
A response from a NSW Police officer dated 14 April 2026 acknowledged in writing the evidentiary value of the material provided:
"…it does assist in providing evidence to his pattern of behaviour and long term offending both against domestic partners and in relation to drug and fraudulent activities."
The same officer stated that the activity falls within Kings Cross PAC's geographical area and was therefore outside the responding officer's investigative capability.
The point. Kings Cross Police Area Command has, on the documentary record, declined to investigate @kandykingX's conduct against the site owner since 2021. In the same period, other NSW commands have brought charges in matters arising from the same pattern of conduct against different complainants. The asymmetry is not an inference. It is a documented operational distinction.
Source: NSW Police Force charging records, matter 2026/00070993 (committal). SC Zach Manley email to site owner, 14 April 2026. Portal complaint records lodged 19 April 2026. Contemporaneous message captures held in evidence.
The following documents are referenced across the prosecutions and the June 2025 retaliation. Each was either present in a brief of evidence, obtained under GIPA or RTI, or produced by a third-party forensic or clinical provider. Where a document is marked exculpatory, it was held by police prior to or at the time of charging.
Total Result Count: 0. No calls on [number redacted] during the alleged week. Service cancelled August 2023 — before the alleged call was made. Held in the same brief as the Facts Sheet alleging the call.
Shows @kandykingX's alias @beat_slaya was the first follower of Smith's 'legalabuse' account from 26 July 2023 — four months before @kandykingX swore he discovered it on 23 November 2023.
The OIC's own screen recording, held in the brief, showed @kandykingX commenting on Smith's posts before the date he swore he first became aware of the account's existence.
Recorded in COPS: "police could not find any images that would constitute an offence." The four recording charges proceeded to hearing regardless.
OIC admitted in writing the Optus records would not show Signal-app contact — the very contact the prosecution was attempting to prove. Prosecution proceeded to hearing regardless.
Identified @kandykingX's email as linked to a Microsoft account created under "Anthony Smith." ISP Swoop, IP 103.53.118.254. Police dismissed it as "incoherent."
Documents the ministerial complaint pathway: Plibersek → Catley → Commissioner's office → Kings Cross PAC. Establishes the direct causal chain from political complaint to welfare check mobilization.
Contains the NSW Police email referral (Officer 'Brendan'), the QLD Health clinical assessment (calm, polite, insight intact, no risk, declined service), and the 27 June 2025 "smoking gun" email admitting the true motive.
Confirms NSW Police holds no information relating to a Triple Zero call. COPS CAD search for all Sydney City welfare messages 25–26 June 2025: none relating to Smith. States it would be "very unusual" for NSW Police to contact a QLD agency rather than QLD Police.
"Constable Dellenty advised that upon finalisation of the local court matter some information she had received that was not saved on ViewIMS had been deleted." Court case dismissed 10 June 2025. Potential breach of State Records Act 1998.
@kandykingX's own public gaming livestream — the source of the four images that formed Prosecution 2's recording charges. The images were screenshots from this stream, not covert home recordings as sworn.
"My communication with you will be ending" and "You will not be provided any information regarding [subject] at any time." Imposed while a prosecution was active and complaints were pending.
Formal request for state-level intervention: CCC investigation, state complaint to NSW/LECC, legislative reform to prevent interstate welfare protocol misuse. Enclosures include RTI release JIAU25/13749 and GIPA decision 0834658.
Contains the complete QLD Health welfare check file including NSW Police referral, clinical assessment (no risk identified, case closed), and Officer 'Brendan's' 27 June 2025 email admitting the real motive for the interstate check.
Site owner's formal correspondence to NSW Minister for Police. Sets out documentary evidence drawn from NSW Police's own GIPA releases of three materially false statements made to executive government.
Sent under the signature of "Manager, Ministerial and Executive Services" on the Minister's behalf. Addresses none of the documentary evidence in the 23 January correspondence. Repeats the same claims that had been disproven.
Email confirming the friend whose name and identity were used by @kandykingX to operate the bjow_ett bait account: "I've never seen or heard of [@kandykingX]." Establishes the account as an impersonation.
NSW Police Privacy Internal Review refusing to correct a COPS entry recording the site owner "picked up and hung up" on a cancelled phone number. NSW Police characterised the false entry as a "historical snapshot" that must be preserved.
Standalone exhibit lodged with the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission documenting eleven grounds of OIC and prosecutor misconduct in the third prosecution. Each ground is sourced to official documents already in NSW Police's possession.
Standalone exhibit lodged with the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission documenting six false statements in the QLD Health welfare referral, the admitted retaliatory motive, and the GIPA "hall of mirrors" by which NSW Police denied the referral existed despite QLD Health producing it.
Letter from Superintendent Paul Dunstan APM, Commander Sydney City PAC, finalising an internal review of complaints relating to officer conduct in the matter that became charge H91613788. Concludes the investigation was "conducted in a thorough manner" and the "available evidence supports the allegations and subsequent charge". H91613788 was dismissed not guilty at hearing 15 August 2022. This letter is the source document cited by the LECC (CASE202512717) when closing the matter on 2 December 2025.
Letter from Superintendent Jill Walters, Commander Kings Cross Police Area Command — the post-El-Badawi Commander — formally invoking section 132 of the Police Act 1990 (NSW) to decline further investigation. Walters confirms the basis as PC Sen Cst De Angeli's analysis that the documented use of the site owner's name as an alias did not, in the agency's view, constitute an offence under sections 192I, 192J or 192K of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW). "As a result, I have declined to pursue further investigation into this matter, as permitted under Section 132 of the Police Act."
The matter was dismissed at Downing Centre Local Court before Magistrate Milledge after the complainant refused to give evidence. The complainant's costs application was refused. The certified court transcript has been requested and is pending.
The complainant was represented at the 10 June 2025 hearing by counsel from a Sydney-based criminal law firm. The matter was dismissed without the complainant being required to give evidence.
The Member for Sydney also made formal representations on behalf of Smith regarding the ongoing issues with Kings Cross Police. GIPA requests for records relating to Greenwich's inquiries were refused — NSW Police cited "overriding public interest against disclosure" and classified the correspondence as a "Deliberative Process."
The same NSW Police Prosecutor appeared in all three prosecutions across three years, three different OICs, and two different court locations. One witnessing officer (Farmilo) appeared in two of the three matters. No explanation for this persistent assignment has been provided.
Complaints have been made to the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC), NSW Ombudsman, and to Federal and State Ministers. Responses have in several cases been contradicted by the agency's own records released under GIPA. The LECC informed Smith he would "soon be blocked from their server."
A formal letter was sent directly to the Queensland Premier requesting: (1) the CCC investigate whether Queensland emergency services were improperly weaponised by interstate police; (2) Queensland formally raise a state-level complaint with the NSW Government and NSW LECC; (3) legislative reform to prevent interstate misuse of welfare referral protocols; and (4) protection from further cross-border retaliation. The letter was accompanied by five enclosures including both the GIPA and RTI releases establishing that the Triple Zero call never occurred and that the officer admitted the true motive in writing.
The letter characterised the conduct as a breach of Queensland sovereignty: "A NSW Police officer fabricated a mental health emergency to deploy Queensland's emergency resources against a Queensland resident — not to protect him, but to surveil him and retaliate for a lawful democratic act. It occurred on Queensland soil."
Note to journalists, lawyers, and parliamentarians: Documentary evidence underlying the claims on this site — including the Telstra iASK records, Meta Business Record, COPS entries, OIC written admission, QLD Health RTI release JIAU25/13749, GIPA release GIPA-2025-0925657, GIPA decision REV-2025-0858528, and the formal letter to QLD Premier Crisafulli — is available for review. Contact details below.
This matter has been formally escalated to the Queensland Premier's office as of 9 March 2026. A cross-border pattern of alleged state-facilitated misconduct involving both NSW and Queensland government resources is now on the public record.
@kandykingX has a Queensland Magistrates Court record between 2011 and 2019 — five charges across four court appearances, all in Brisbane Magistrates Court. The certified copies of orders are below in the order in which they were made.
Possess utensils or pipes for use (Drugs Misuse Act 1986 s.10(2)(a)). Date of offence: 3 July 2011. Pleaded guilty. Released on a $150 recognisance for 4 months conditioned on attendance at a drug assessment and education session at Chermside Community Health Centre. Property forfeited to the State. Conviction not recorded.
Contravention of Domestic Violence Order (Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012 s.177(2)(b)). Date of offence: 21 March 2015. Charge dismissed — "no evidence to offer". Defendant released absolutely.
Possessing dangerous drugs (Drugs Misuse Act 1986 s.9) and possess utensils or pipes for use (s.10(2)(a)). Date of offence: 22 March 2015. Pleaded guilty to both. $750 fine. Property forfeited to the Crown. Conviction not recorded.
Driving with a relevant drug present in blood or saliva (Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 s.79(2AA)(a)). Date of offence: 8 December 2018. Pleaded guilty. Driver licence disqualified for 1 month. $350 fine. Conviction recorded.
By December 2021 he was operating from Potts Point Central Hotel in New South Wales. The @kandykingX Telegram drug operation has run continuously from the Kings Cross / Potts Point area since 2020.
As of 6 May 2026, six matters were listed against him in Newcastle Local Court (NSW) — four criminal proceedings and two Apprehended Violence Applications. The complainants in those matters are not named here. The criminal listings are publicly searchable on the NSW Local Court daily list under case references 2025/00422604, 2026/00070993, 2026/00072808 and 2026/00123172. The two Apprehended Violence Applications were brought by NSW Police officers — one by a Detective Senior Constable, one by a Senior Constable.
No charges have been laid against him by Kings Cross Police Area Command.
@kandykingX has operated continuously from Kings Cross since 2020. The certified Queensland Magistrates Court record above documents what was available to NSW Police on a single criminal-history check: drug possession, possession of drug utensils, contravention of a Domestic Violence Order, and drug-driving — across four hearings in another state. Kings Cross PAC declined to investigate @kandykingX in their own jurisdiction, while prosecuting the site owner — his victim — three times across the same period.
The current Newcastle Local Court matters were laid by NSW Police officers outside the Kings Cross PAC catchment. He had to leave Kings Cross to be charged in NSW. His Kings Cross Telegram operation continues to advertise drug sales as at the date of publication.
