EXCLUSIVE 

Troubled teenage OnlyFans star Paris Ow-Yang’s ex-boyfriend has had another legal win, four months after he was cleared of a rape charge. 

Rocket Stickney had been due to face trial in February for having sexual intercourse without consent but the charge was suddenly dropped.

Stickney was accused of raping a woman at Glebe, in Sydney’s inner-city, in June, 2023 but further details of the alleged offence have never been made public.  

The allegation had been hanging over Stickney for 18 months until November last year when the charge was withdrawn completely by the Crown.

The 29-year-old remained the subject of an interim apprehended violence order to protect the woman he had been accused of raping. 

A police application to have that order confirmed was set to be heard on Tuesday at Downing Centre Local Court but was also withdrawn.

Ow-Yang had been photographed several times with Stickney, who is reportedly a serving, or former, US Navy SEAL.

They were first pictured together on December 7 alongside the 20-year-old model’s father, neurosurgeon Michael Ow-Yang, strolling through Bondi.

Daily Mail Australia revealed late in February that the couple had now parted ways, just months after their relationship started.

A solicitor acting for Ow-Yang had described Stickney as a ‘stable influence’ on his client when she faced court on a string of domestic violence charges.  

Ow-Yang was convicted on December 11 of assault, intimidation, and destroying property worth approximately $1,500 during a drunken rampage.

Waverley Local Court heard Ow-Yang had turned up at her mother Amanda’s home at Double Bay about 9pm on November 7 and run amok in a terrifying incident she could not recall.

An enraged Ow-Yang had repeatedly called her mother a ‘sl**’  then threatened to take her own life and embedded two kitchen knives in the floor.

Solicitor Michael Bowe said his client suffered from a litany of mental health problems stemming from the separation of her parents when she was a child.

Ow-Yang had been diagnosed with conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD and an eating disorder.

She had repeatedly engaged in self-harm, binge drinking and compulsive shopping as a result of grief, shock and trauma.

Mr Bowe said Ow-Yang had 1.3million followers on TikTok and 350,000 on Instagram but did not mention the OnlyFans account the private school girl opened as soon as she became an adult.

He said Ow-Yang suffered a ‘whole series’ of mental health conditions which stemmed from her parents separating when she was about 13.

She had never recovered from that split and her problems had not been helped by a brief relationship with 44-year-old nightclub king Julian Tobias. 

Tobias had dumped Ow-Yang upon their return from an overseas holiday late last year, just months after they began dating.

An insider said at the time the relationship, which began when Ow-Yang was 17, was destined to fail because the pair had nothing in common. 

Ow-Yang blamed a drunken car crash in October 2023 on the emotional turmoil of the romance suddenly ending.

After drowning her ‘pain and hurt’ in alcohol for nine hours, Ow-Yang had smashed her $50,000 black Mercedes into another Mercedes worth $150,000 in Point Piper.

She subsequently blew 0.213 – more than four times the legal limit for a P-plater.

Ow-Yang was convicted of high-range drinking driving and received a $1,000 fine along with a two-year community corrections order. 

Mr Bowe told Waverley Local Court that Ow-Yang had a new boyfriend, who he did not name but submitted was providing support as she worked to get her life back in order. 

‘She has a partner who is in the American army, he is a stable influence, albeit, the last partner she had was not,’ Mr Bowe told magistrate Paul Mulroney.

‘I’ve spoken to him on the phone and he seems like a pretty good bloke.’

Mr Bowe urged Mr Mulroney not to record a conviction after she pleaded guilty to one count of common assault, one of intimidation and one of destroying property.

‘She’s only 19,’ he said. ‘She’s got the world in front of her.’

Mr Mulroney agreed to Mr Bowe’s request and instead imposed a 15-month conditional release order.

Stickney has previously been described as a member of the US Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) Teams, a special operations force separate from the army.

He was not in court and it was not revealed what he is doing in Australia. 

Stickney had not been allowed to leave the country since the middle of 2023 when he was accused of rape. 

He first faced a magistrate at Parramatta in July that year on a single count of sexual intercourse without consent.

Four later he became the subject of an apprehended violence order to protect the alleged victim.

Under his bail conditions, Stickney was ordered to surrender his US passport, not to leave Australia at any time and not to apply for another international travel document.

He was also required to report each Wednesday to Bondi police station, to live at a designated address and not to contact the alleged rape victim or any other prosecution witness.

Stickney pleaded not guilty to the rape charge in February last year year and reaffirmed that plea in April when he was arraigned in Downing Centre District Court.

The case was set down for trial on February 24 this year but when Stickney appeared before Judge John Pickering on November 26 the charge was withdrawn by the Crown.

A spokeswoman for the DPP said the office would not be explaining why the charge was dropped.

‘Reasons for the decision to withdraw a charge are made in accordance with the prosecution guidelines and are legally privileged,’ she said. 

‘As such, we politely decline to comment.’
