Ex-UFC Fighter Charged with Intimidation
Judge Lisa Viney granted bail with conditions after police alleged Hunt threatened a family member and sent a death threat, court heard.
- On Wednesday, Judge Lisa Viney granted bail to former UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt, 52, after his arrest Tuesday in the Northern Rivers on a stalking or intimidation charge.
- Police allege Hunt behaved in an 'intimidating and berating manner' toward a family member at the property, causing 'fear and distress' for the woman and a witness present.
- Prosecutors opposed bail, arguing Hunt's wrestler background presented a 'heightened' risk, though the defence disputed allegations regarding a text message containing a death threat.
- Judge Viney imposed conditions requiring Hunt to reside at his home in Cobbitty and avoid contacting the complainant, with his defence indicating a likely guilty plea.
- Hunt will return to Ballina Local Court on April 30 to face the stalking charge alongside an application seeking an Apprehended Violence Order for the woman's protection.
