Former AFL player Nicky Winmar, 60, is found guilty of assaulting a woman in northern Victoria after a court hears evidence about an incident that occurred in May last year. Multiple outlets report that a magistrate convicts Winmar on several charges following findings about the woman’s account. The court finds that Winmar grabbed the woman by the arm, dragged her by the hair, and hit her head against a door. According to reporting, Winmar argues that the woman is not truthful and disputes her version of events. The magistrate rejects this claim, with one report stating the judge finds the woman was truthful after Winmar accuses her of lying about the attack. The woman previously tells the court she was fearful for her life on the night of the incident. Winmar is convicted of three charges. Outlets also report the matter proceeds to sentencing at a later date, rather than concluding immediately after the guilty verdict.
