Teenage party boy and Ninja Warrior contestant Corey Worthington charged with ... trends now
Legendary party boy Corey Worthington is back in the spotlight after being charged over a savage assault.
Now 31, Worthington was charged by crime investigation unit detectives with a charge of intentionally causing injury and is set to face Geelong Magistrates’ Court – in Victoria’s south-west – in May.
The charges carry a maximum jail sentence of up to 10 years.
Worthington became a global sensation when he was just 16 for throwing an out-of-control party at his parents' Narre Warren home while his mum Jo and stepfather Stephen Delaney were holidaying on the Gold Coast in 2008.

A public court listing shows Worthington has not yet engaged a lawyer to represent him at the upcoming hearing.
It remains unclear how the allegations by police against Worthington are put.
Daily Mail Australia contacted Worthington on Thursday, but he did not respond.
A virtual pioneer of the powers of social media, Worthington put an open invitation to his 2008 party on MySpace, leading to more than 500 people descending on the house on a Saturday evening.
A riot soon broke out as revellers pelted police with broken bottles, damaging cars and surrounding property.
It was only brought under control after more than 30 officers, the dog squad and the police helicopter descended on the party and closed it down.
While the party made Worthington a hero among his mates, it was his unrepentant interview with A Current Affair's Leila McKinnon that made him an online sensation.
Decked out in outrageous yellow sunglasses, bright yellow hair and a floral cap, Worthington fronted the cameras and refused to take responsibility.
When McKinnon asked Worthington to remove his sunglasses, the petulant party king refused.
