Top Microsoft developer choked his SEVEN-year-old son after he refused to stop playing Nintendo: 'I will stop him breathing'

Senior Microsoft developer Nicholas Lester lost his cool over a gaming session

He pleaded guilty to unlawfully assaulting his seven year old son in fit of rage

Lester choked the boy in front of terrified witnesses who called police

The boy had been playing a Nintendo Switch game when his father 'lost it'

Lester was sentenced on Monday to a community correction order

An angry dad who throttled his seven-year old son in a fit of rage after he refused to stop playing video games threatened to 'stop him breathing'.

Nicholas Lester, a senior developer at Microsoft, went ballistic when his boy refused to stop playing his Nintendo Switch - a direct rival to Microsoft's Xbox games consoles.

'I will stop him breathing,' Lester screamed after placing his terrified son in a choke hold on February 6 last year.

'Your seven-year old son was effectively using his will against yours,' she said.

'In response you placed (him) in a headlock and were heard to be saying words to the effect "I'll stop you breathing". Your actions on this occasion raised the alarm of three independent witnesses who felt so concerned about what they had heard that police were called.'

At a previous hearing, the Herald Sun reported the boy's face went red as he yelled for his mother, who ran to the West Melbourne apartment bedroom.

'I can’t breathe,' the victim said.

Ms Boult lectured Lester on the basics of parenting.

'Children act up, play up, resist reasonable authority - that's what children do. That's what they will continue to do,' she said.

'As a parent it is your responsibility to never resort to an act of family violence. The buck stops with you. There is never an excuse for family violence and the court expects that you make choices that will keep your family safe no matter how angry you feel or what the circumstances are.'

The court heard the little boy had not submitted to the court a victim impact statement against his father.

But Ms Boult accepted he must have been 'terrified' by his father's abuse.

Despite her apparent revulsion at Lester's behaviour, the magistrate let Lester off-the-hook without recording a conviction.

Ms Boult said she accepted Lester had suffered from depression and had taken steps to improve his mental health.

She further accepted he had no prior convictions and that his job with Microsoft was now at risk after he was exposed as a child beater.
