Mark Hunt Denies Violence After Charge Over Alleged Death‑Threat Text

A hearing is set for April 30 under bail terms barring contact with the complainant.

Overview

  • Hunt posted a four‑minute video Friday saying he did not lay a hand on anyone and claiming older texts are being used against him.
  • Police charged the 52‑year‑old with stalking or intimidation with intent to cause physical harm tied to an alleged message that read, "I'm just going to murder you in the end anyway."
  • He spent a night in custody before release on bail under strict terms that include a no‑contact order for the alleged victim.
  • The case is scheduled for Ballina Local Court on April 30, with media reporting the court may also weigh an Apprehended Violence Order that would extend protective limits on contact.
  • Some outlets report Hunt’s lawyer has indicated a likely guilty plea, though the comment has not been widely corroborated.
