Two Queensland tradies have been charged with assault after wolf whistling at a 15-year-old girl walking past their building site, and then attacking her father when he came to her defence.
Brothers Bodie and Kai Lajunen were working at a site in Bundall, on the Gold Coast, when the 15-year-old neighbour walked past, reported Nine News.
CCTV footage shows the father walk up to one of the brothers in an attempt to defend his daughter, before the second brother joins and the two men attack him, breaking his hand and leaving it in a sling.
On Tuesday, the brothers were found guilty of assault but were pictured laughing at cameras as they left court, and giving the double thumbs up.
The pair have insisted to Nine News that they did nothing wrong.
Bodie Lajunen said: 'He didn't need to defend her, she wasn't in any danger.'
'I had a little whistle at the girl walking past,' he said and then shrugged his shoulders.
'I know I'm not a sleazebag and that I'm not going to be whistling and doing that to a minor so it didn't really phase me too much.'
When challenged about what he said he replied: 'No, I didn't wolf whistle at her'
'She (the girl) yelled out, do you guys want some hot chips and I said yes please and her boyfriend just told me to f**k off, he yelled it out at me, and I just laughed and did the same gesture to him.
In the footage, it shows the girl's father then stepped in to have words with Bodie.
'He kept saying that it was a sleazy thing to do and I basically laughed at him, I just said f**k off and leave me alone mate.'
Bodie's brother Kai Lajunen admitted to Nine News that he pushed the girl's father.
'I pushed him, I had a rum in one hand so it wasn't an aggressive push.'
But at one point in the CCTV footage, Kai is seen slapping the girl's father in the face.
Despite the footage and witnesses, Bodie and Kai maintained their innocence.
'I would be sorry if I had done it to a 15-year-old girl and she was offended by it, like, I don't even think she was offended by it,' Bodie Lajunen said.
