NRL veteran Scott Bolton has escaped conviction after pleading guilty to the common assault of a woman in a Sydney bar. The North Queensland Cowboys prop, 31, had formally denied a charge of indecent assault against the woman at Bondi Beach Public Bar in May 2018. In Waverley Local Court on Monday,
following discussions with police, that charge was withdrawn and Bolton entered his plea to the lesser charge of common assault. He was handed a 12-month conditional release order and escaped conviction. “Mr Bolton is not placed on a pedestal by the court, he is expected to behave as any other member of the public behaves,” magistrate Greg Grogin said.
