Alex Williamson might be Australia’s most famous comedian you’ve never heard of.

Going by the name Shooter Williamson on Instagram, the 32-year-old has half a million followers. On TikTok, his following is edging towards one million.

And yesterday he said in an Instagram story: “All you chicks here firing up, you think your boyfriends are looking at your boot of a head? No. They're looking at hot 19 year olds.”

And that is one of the few sentences we can actually publish.

It began on Wednesday morning, when 24-year-old Peach PRC, who has a TikTok following of 1.2 million and an Instagram following of 189K, posted a message to her followers.

The reason you won’t see media publications platform her allegations against Williamson is because Australia has some of the strictest defamation laws in the world. By reproducing a claim made by a person on social media, a media company like ours could find ourselves in a courtroom, no matter how many times we use the word ‘allegedly’. And Williamson is fiercely denying any wrongdoing.

What we can say is that Peach accused her former partner of “predatory” behaviour.

Her motive for coming forward, she said, was to “warn” others about his behaviour. Particularly at risk, she claimed, were “young, vulnerable women and girls”.

For context, Williamson is Australia’s self-proclaimed “loosest bloke”.

A series of tweets posted in 2012 have reemerged (Williamson would have been 23) where he wrote, “Hey girls. Don’t try and tell me you’re too tired for sex, coz ill [sic] quite happily do you while you’re napping”.

Another read: “Geez I really don’t want to be one of those fathers that f**ks their daughter constantly but I just know I will be lol.”

At the end of last year, a video posted to social media by Brown Cardigan depicted Williamson at a comedy event swearing at an audience member who is assumed to have recently lost their parents.

“I’m glad they’re dead, so they didn’t get to see their son evolve into a [sic] such a f**ken useless sack of shit,” he said before kicking over several drinks and demanding the man leave the show.

In March last year, Williamson antagonised audience members at a live show in Goulburn, eventually taking swings at a man.

In February last year, Williamson shared a clip from his stand up titled 'Foreplay with a country boy'. He outlined a sex "tip", which involved getting a decapitated sheep's head, hiding it under a pillow, and then while "f**king [a woman] doggy style" ripping the pillows away so she "backs up on it".

Such represents Williamson's particular brand of comedy.

“He is literally TELLING you what he’s doing and disguising it as ‘dark humour’...” Peach alleged.

But, of course, crass 'jokes' do not make someone a criminal.

Whether or not social media is the ideal forum to launch accusations of alleged assault is one conversation well worth having.

In a justice system that presumes innocence until proven guilty, publicising claims about an alleged perpetrator can - in some cases - do m
