Former Sydney bikie associate, now socialite, Mark Judge has been arrested and charged for allegedly assaulting his former girlfriend Carolina Narvaez in the days before Christmas.
Judge, 41, a former Rebels associate, was arrested at a Byron Bay beach home on Saturday morning after a warrant was issued for his arrest relating to the alleged attack on Ms Narvaez in Sydney on December 21.
Ms Narvaez, an Ecuadorean native, moved into Judge’s luxurious Vaucluse appartment in August this year and the pair have only recently split up.
Police allege they received a report that Judge entered a business in George St in the city and allegedly assaulted Ms Narvaez, 36, including attempting to choke her.

He was taken to Byron Bay Police Station and charged with domestic violence assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally choke person and stalk and intimidate persons.
Judge, known as a man about town despite his links to the Rebels bikies has recently become a friend of Packer heiress, Franscesca Packer, with the pair being photographed in Sydney restaraunts and Judge attending her glamorous 26th birthday held on the harbour last month.
Raised in Penrith, Judge now lives in Vaucluse and has hit the headlines over the years for attempts on his life and a wild drug binge with former Home and Away star Jodi Gordon resulting in the pair calling police believing five masked men were attempting to attack them.
In 2011 Judge was found bleeding on a footpath outside the same apartment after being stabbed nine times and miraculously survived.
After the stabbing in 2011 Judge was in a coma for days and was initially not expected to live.
Judge, who dated celebrity escort Samantha X for a short time, owns and operates stores in Sydney and Melbourne which sell top end designer watches.
He was due to appear in Lismore Local Court over the domestic violence allegations on Sunday.
