Neighbours star Scott McGregor to fight allegations of sexual assault in ... trends now
An ex-Neighbours star will fight allegations he sexually assaulted a woman after a night out at one of Melbourne's most famous seaside pubs.
Scott McGregor, who played police detective Mark Brennan on the iconic Aussie soap, found himself on the wrong side of the law in November when detectives charged him with one count of 'sexually touching' a woman without her consent.
On Thursday, McGregor's lawyer, Thomas Isaacs, fronted the Melbourne Magistrates' Court via videolink on his behalf to declare the charges would be contested.
'Mr McGregor adamantly denies the charges,' Mr Isaacs said.
The charge relates to an alleged incident at St Kilda's Hotel Esplanade, known by locals as the 'Espy', at about 8pm on Sunday, February 20 last year.
McGregor, who has also featured Underbelly, Offspring and Winners & Losers, appeared in 940 episodes of Neighbours from 2013 to 2020.
