NORTH Queensland Cowboys NRL star Scott Bolton has been charged with indecent assault after an incident in a Bondi bar on Saturday night.

The team has been staying in Sydney after playing in Bathurst on Friday night to prepare for the game against the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval on Thursday night.

A number of Cowboys players were out drinking in Sydney’s eastern suburbs when the incident is alleged to have occurred.

Waverley detectives are investigating.

The 30-year-old forward has played 11 seasons and more than 200 games for the Cowboys.

He was married to his wife Michelle in 2016 and has never been in trouble.

The Daily Telegraph understands the NRL integrity unit has been informed of incident.

“We’re just trying to get the facts,” said Cowboys general manager Peter Parr.

“We won’t be making a statement before we know more.”

The Cowboys are yet to decide if Bolton will stay in Sydney with the rest of the team.

WOW ... wouldn't expect that from someone like Bolton. To have been charged though means they have sufficient evidence to prosecute in their mind.

Also means it's unlikely to be a money grabbing slapper given it's not reported as alleged.

At 30 he's nearing the end of his career, but contracted with NQC till end of next season.

Batting well above average..

The NSW Police Force released a statement on the incident:

"A man has been granted conditional bail to appear in court later this month charged over the alleged indecent assault of a woman at Bondi Beach overnight. Police were called to licenced premises on Campbell parade about 10.50pm (Saturday 5 May 2018), after a female patron reported she had been indecently assaulted. Officers from Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command initiated an investigation and arrested a 30-year-old man about 9.20am (Sunday 6 May 2018), at Waverley Police Station. The man, who is from Queensland, has been charged with assault with an act of indecency. He was granted conditional bail to appear in Waverley Local Court on Tuesday 19 June 2018."

Agree with you but charges have already been laid and the incident was on Saturday.......isn't that pretty quick in the overall scheme of things? Looking at what constitutes this type of charge is alarming...

hopefully the following will not offend or upset......

Common examples of the offence of Act of Indecency include:
  • Exposing your penis or vagina in front of a child;
  • Standing in a laneway and masturbating yourself as another person walks past;
  • Sending a naked photo of yourself to another person; or
  • Pretending to perform a sexual act on a another person.

Actions which can constitute indecent assault
  • The slightest touch / physical contact (however minimal) is sufficient to amount to an assault. This excludes touching in the course of ordinary everyday life.
  • The intentional touching, even over clothes, of breasts, anus, vagina or penis.
  • A kiss, when it has been made clear the kiss is unwanted.
  • Intentionally rubbing your groin against another, example; on a busy train when the other person has not given consent.

Ohh my God I've been indecent assaulted on may occasion over the years by women sending me their nude selfies and didn't even know it. LOL

I wonder if Scott's touched her Boltons inappropriately..

Seriously that description of Act of Indecency, and Indecent Assault pretty much defines the creeper Indians that hang around PJ Gallaghers in Parramatta.. (well at least like 10 odd years ago).

It's such a vague charge. It could mean that he grabbed her butt, it could mean that he made a sexual action that she happened to see, or it could mean that he accidentally brushed up against her.

Not sure if more will come out about this or not... but the NRL should have a set rule that if a player is charged (not just alleged but criminally charged), they are stood down from all games until the matter is heard in court.

They should but just like Wighton's case, he will be free to play until found guilty.

Mmmmm, looks like Scott Bolton is in serious trouble judging by his statement today.
He was a blubbering mess. Can’t recall the last time a players cried during a prepared statement about an indiscretion. He looked guilty as he sobbed his way through 60 seconds. It was embarrassing.
