Domestic stalking and intimidation charges against former Australia Test cricketer Michael Slater were dismissed due to mental health legislation.
According to court records filed Thursday, a Sydney magistrate dropped the charges against the 52-year-old on Wednesday, instead placing Slater under the care of a doctor for mental health therapy.
Slater was charged with stalking or intimidation, breaking a restraining order, and using a carriage service — such as a phone, email, or social media — to threaten, harass, or insult. He played Test cricket for Australia from 1993 to 2001, accumulating 5,312 runs.
