SCHAPELLE Corby's half-brother will spend Christmas behind bars after pleading guilty to an assault at the home of a former Brisbane Broncos player.
James Soeli Kisina was 24 when he and friend Samuel James Ratumaitavuki, 25, entered the Ashgrove home of footballer Ben Te'o in November last year, the Supreme Court in Brisbane heard on Tuesday.
The court was told the pair went to the property in search of Te'o, who Ratumaitavuki believed had slept with his ex-girlfriend some months earlier.
However Te'o, who has since signed with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, was attending the Queensland Sports Awards when the pair arrived at his home.
Ratumaitavuki, an aspiring rapper who goes by the name Fortafy, demanded to know where Te'o was before assaulting two members of the footballer's family.
The court heard Kisina did nothing to stop the attack, which left both men with scratches and one with a bloody nose.
Ratumaitavuki and Kisina pleaded guilty to one count each of burglary and assault occasioning bodily harm.
The court heard Kisina was on a suspended jail sentence at the time for a home invasion he had committed in 2006.
He was sentenced to 15 months' jail on Tuesday and will be released on parole in January.
Ratumaitavuki, who had no criminal history, was sentenced to an immediately suspended sentence of 18 months.
Ratumaitavuki posted a message of solidarity to Kisina on Facebook immediately after sentencing, saying: "I got u brother.... Free Kisina..... ! Don't let anyone else control your destiny."
Kisina was with Corby on October 8, 2004 when she was caught at Denpasar airport with 4.1 kg of cannabis.
She is serving a 20-year jail term at Bali's notorious Kerobokan prison.
