Ben Fordham has slammed the ABC for publishing a “revenge attack” on an Aussie veteran.

Retired Special Forces Officer and former November Platoon Commander Heston Russell has been fighting to receive an apology for an ABC article accusing his platoon of executing an Afghan prisoner.

Rather than apologise- the ABC has now published nude photos of Heston Russell online.

The ABC claims Mr Russell sold photos and videos of himself on adult website Only Fans to raise money for a charity.

“The ABC has dropped down into the gutter to attack a war veteran,” Ben says.

“A revolting, grubby attack. It would look out of place on the front cover of a trashy magazine.”
