Episode Details

Former England rugby star Michael Cooper, once a Warrington Wolves legend, has pleaded guilty to two stalking charges involving fear of violence after a two-month campaign of harassment that included leaving abusive notes and damaging tires on a woman’s car. While he entered not guilty pleas to additional stalking charges involving distress, those will likely be dropped. His defense is seeking an adjournment to present medical reports on neurological damage allegedly sustained during his rugby career — damage so severe he was the first player in either code to retire due to it. The judge granted the adjournment, and Cooper, released on bail, faces sentencing on August 21st.
