Correction - 9News Melbourne

On 17 March 2026, the 6pm bulletin of 9News Melbourne reported on criminal proceedings against Mr Paul Fridman. A graphic in that report referring to the alleged victims in that matter erroneously included the image of a man wearing glasses.

The inclusion of this man's image was inadvertent and 9News Melbourne wishes to clarify that he was not an alleged victim in that criminal case.

9News Melbourne apologises for any confusion which may have been caused.
