Cowboys Forward Scott Bolton Given 12 Month Good Behaviour Bond

Player pleads guilty to common assault


7 January 2019

31-year-old Cowboys veteran Scott Bolton has pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman at a Bondi bar last year.

The incident happened in May when the forward allegedly grabbed a 49-year-old woman’s upper thigh.

He was in a Waverley court this morning facing an indecent assault charge, but prosecutors dropped the charge after Bolton pleaded guilty to common assault instead.

A club statement said that the Court has accepted there was no indecent conduct nor violence on his part.

The court handed down a 12-month good behaviour bond.

The club said Bolton will make a statement in due course.
