'''Corey Delaney''' (also known as '''Corey Worthington''' <ref> http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/leg...0159449772.html </ref> and refered to in the media as the "MySpace Party Boy"<ref name="news">http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23054390-421,00.html</ref>) was responsible for a party in [[Melbourne, Australia]] that attracted international media attention. <ref> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7187497.stm </ref> While his parents were on holiday in the [[Gold Coast]],<ref name="heraldsun">http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23054390-662,00.html</ref> Delaney advertised an "Open Party" on [[MySpace]], attracting approximately 500 youths to the event. The crowd eventually began to riot.<ref name="reuters">http://in.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idINSYD19565720080115</ref> When thirty police officers, a helicopter and the dog squad went to the Melbourne home,<ref>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/01/14/aussie.party.ap/index.html</ref> police were greeted by thrown rocks and bottles.
The event caused $20,000[[AUD]] of damage on surrounding houses and gardens and a possible bill of an additional $20,000AUD from the [[Victorian police]].<ref name="bbc">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7187497.stm</ref><ref name="guardian">http://www.guardian.co.uk/australia/story/0,,2240871,00.html</ref>
Police [[Chief Commissioner]] Christine Nixon said about 21 percent of the population of Victoria were aged 10 to 24 but half of all offenders processed by police in the state were in that age group. She said a "high-level task force" was being chaired by Victoria Police to try to tackle the state's youth crime wave.

When interviewed by the [[Nine Network]]<ref name="bbc"/> on whether he had advice for other teenagers throwing parties, Delaney stated, "Get me to do it for you. Best party ever, that's what everyone's saying."<ref name="reuters"/> However, he later told the ''[[Herald Sun]]'' that he was sorry for the damage caused to neighbouring homes.<ref name="heraldsun"/> He also said that he was "off his head".<ref>http://www.newstatesman.com/200701080035 "off his head on Ecstasy"</ref><ref name="reuters" />
On her way home from a holiday in Queensland, Delaney's mother, Jo Delaney told the [[Seven Network]], "We're a good family. I'm just devastated and horrified he's come out of the closet, that this has actually occurred. Obviously he's very scared of the consequences that we're going to bring upon him." <ref name="bbc"/>
