Emma Walters has revealed herself as the woman at the centre of John Setka’s charges after the union leader was ordered by a magistrate to complete a men’s behavioural program and give $1000 to an anti-family violence program.

Ms Walters, who is married to Mr Setka, waived her legal right to anonymity outside court on Wednesday.

“Today, I have spoken in support of John as ‘the woman’ at the centre of all of this,” Ms Walters said.

“Despite a lot of rumour and innuendo there is no-one else involved but John and I.

“The truth of this story is that it is simply about my husband and I trying to put our lives back together.”

Union leader Setka was convicted of using a carriage service to harass and of breaching a court order and also placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Mr Setka had already indicated he would plead guilty prior to Wednesday morning’s hearing after several other charges against him were dropped.
