This is why "High profile" doesn't necessarily mean celebrity. And yeah - this is a different case to the one from last year. He didn't think he'd get a fair trial if everyone knew he was accused again.

To think this guy dreamed of a career in politics a couple of years ago. I can't see him getting elected, now.

Unless an Aussie can run for US President?

Nope. You need to be a "Naturally born US citizen". They're quite explicit about it and very serious. That's why there was all that silly noise about President Obama's birth certificate. Ironically championed by the guy who would succeed him as President.

He could go as high as a State Govenor, though.
