A Hells Angels outlaw motorcycle gang president accused of bashing a disabled pub patron is pleading with friends and family to foot the bill for his legal costs.

Gregory Pearce, 45, claims he has been mercilessly targeted by police and the media because of his affiliations with the Gold Coast chapter of the gang, costing him upwards of $100,000 in legal fees and impacting his ability to earn a wage.

He took to Facebook to plead with friends, family and sympathisers to help with his mounting legal fees as he prepares to stand trial over the bashing of a disability pensioner outside a Palm Beach hotel on January 9th, 2019.

‘I joined my club for the friendship and the comradery, not to the criminal the media and police have made me out to be.

‘The constant scrutiny and harassment has come at a significant cost not only financially but to my family life.

‘Those of you who know me know this is a hard thing for me to do but I have spent over $100,000 over the last 3 years to fight for the same rights many of you believe in. 

‘So I am asking all my FB friends and supporters to help support me to assist with my ongoing legal battle.’    

He finished the Facebook appeal by claiming he just wants the right to support his family legitimately. 

‘If you’re an 81 Supporter (Hells Angels supporter), a dear friend or someone who believes in everyday working Australians having the right to support their family by working legitimately I ask for your help.’

‘It’s tough out there for many working in today’s climate so I ask you please do not contribute if you can’t. But for the ones who can I sincerely appreciate your support.’
