The People’s Fund To Sue Daniel Andrews And Catherine Kesik

Please Support Ryan’s Legal Battle

Ryan’s father, Peter Meuleman, has authorised this fundraiser to cover the legal costs for Ryan Meuleman’s defamation case against Daniel Andrews and Catherine Kesik.

Why is Ryan Suing Daniel Andrews and Catherine Kesik?

For over a decade, this political couple has pushed the lie that Ryan caused the crash. Andrews and his wife, Kesik, used their media influence to spread this falsehood, telling the public that Ryan was responsible and that police chose not to charge him—despite crash investigators concluding he was not at fault.

At just 15, Ryan faced immense pressure, knowing the most powerful couple in the state was actively campaigning against him, and that no one believed him. This sent this once vibrant child into a downward spiral.

Now, 12 years later, he still suffers from severe mental trauma—not just from the crash, but from being blamed for something he didn’t do.

How will the Funds be Distributed?

Your generous donations go directly to cover legal fees, filing costs, and essential administration. All personnel assisting Ryan work pro bono. Should any funds remain they will be placed in a trust to support Ryan’s ongoing recovery from the life-altering crash.

About Ryan Meuleman and the Bike Boy Scandal.

At just 15, Ryan Meuleman was left fighting for his life after a devastating crash involving former Premier Daniel Andrews and his wife Catherine Kesik. Ryan's injuries were severe—multiple fractures, internal trauma, and a long, painful recovery. But the physical wounds were only part of the battle. For over a decade, Ryan has endured ongoing mental trauma caused by the lies Andrews and Kesik continue to tell about the crash.

Despite this, Ryan refuses to give up. Supported by a dedicated legal team working pro bono and backed by generous Victorians, Ryan is fighting for justice.

Daniel and Andrews and Catherine Kesik- SUED for Defamation

Ryan Meuleman is suing Daniel Andrews and Catherine Kesik for defamation to expose the truth about what happened on the day of the crash—and the lies perpetuated in the years since.

This is Victoria’s chance to hold Daniel Andrews and his wife, Catherine Kesik, PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for years of lies about the near-fatal crash involving 15-year-old cyclist Ryan Meuleman.

The Lies

For over a decade, this political couple has perpetuated the lie that Ryan caused the collision. But now, previously hidden evidence has come to light, proving that they caused the crash which almost claimed the life of an innocent child.

The Trauma

The physical trauma of the crash was devastating for Ryan. But according to Ryan’s psychiatrists, the lies told by Andrews and Kesik—and how they portrayed him in the media—have caused equal, if not greater, damage.

Many of us know the pain of being lied about. But who among us has been defamed by the most powerful man in Victoria and his complicit wife? Ryan grew up believing justice doesn’t exist—that the powerful always win, and people like him are crushed. That must change NOW!

The Lawsuit

This case will require Daniel Andrews and his wife to take the stand under oath, and submit to cross-examination. Their now-adult children who were in the car on the day of crash will also be cross-examined. And unlike in previous public inquiries where Andrews has used lines like “I can't recall” and “I don't recall” to mislead, these witnesses can be held in contempt of court if they lie or perjure themselves.

Criminal Charges

Critically, if evidence of crimes are revealed during this case, that evidence will be referred to police who will be pressured to finally lay criminal charges over the crash and the subsequent cover-up.

If You Have The Means, Please Donate

The money raised through this GoFundMe campaign will fund this historic court case. We must do this—not just for Ryan, but to show that truth and justice still have a place in Victoria. Please donate now, SHARE the fundraiser and be part of this historic moment.

With gratitude, the Meuleman Family
