Former Broncos, Sharks, Warriors and Toowoomba Valleys rugby league star Brett John Seymour has had charges against him mentioned before Toowoomba Magistrates Court.
The 33-year-old was not required to be in court for the brief mention of his matters on Tuesday, July 25, but was represented by Toowoomba lawyer Michael Corbin.
Mr Corbin said his client was on the Gold Coast and couldn’t be in the Toowoomba court for the mention but he would seek an adjournment of all matters.
Mr Seymour’s charges include four counts of assault occasioning bodily harm (domestic violence offence).
No details of the police allegations have as yet been aired in court but the fact the charges are before the Toowoomba Magistrates Court indicates the incidents were alleged to have taken place in the Toowoomba jurisdiction.
Mr Seymour has not as yet been required to enter any pleas to the charges and remains on bail.
Mr Corbin asked the court for a four-week adjournment so as to take instructions from his client.
Magistrate Clare Kelly therefore excused Mr Seymour’s appearance and remanded him on bail with all charges adjourned for mention back in the same court on August 29.
