Brisbane Broncos star Jamil Hopoate charged for breaching AVO and bail

Brisbane Broncos player Jamil Hopoate has handed himself in at Manly Police Station, where he has been charged with breaching an AVO and bail conditions.

NRL star Jamil Hopoate will front court today after allegedly breaching a restraining order — and his bail conditions — just a fortnight after being charged over a drunken incident in December.

The off-contract Brisbane Broncos player handed himself in to Manly Police Station at about 9am this morning, where he was charged with allegedly contravening a domestic violence AVO and breaching bail.

Jamil Hopoate has been charged for breaching a restraining order and his bail.

Jamil Hopoate leaves a team meeting in May.

The fresh charges come just a week before he was due to front court over an alleged domestic violence assault on the NSW Mid North Coast.

Police were on December 27 called to a pub on Bay Street, Port Macquarie about 8.30pm following reports of an alleged assault.

Hopoate was later charged with three counts of common assault, stalking or intimidation and mid-range drink driving over the alleged incident — charges understood to involve a woman known to him.

The 26-year-old is the son of renowned rugby league star John Hopoate. He previously served a year in jail in 2014 for allegedly assaulting a man at a Sydney pub.

He was refused bail and is due to front Manly Local Court today.
