|November 05, 2024
FORMER Scotland rugby international Stuart Hogg has admitted abusing his estranged wife over the course of five years.
-
Hogg, 32, had been due to stand trial at Selkirk Sheriff Court yesterday but pleaded guilty to a single charge when he appeared at the court.
The father-of-four arrived at Selkirk Sheriff Court accompanied by his parents Margaret and John, and admitted a single charge of domestic abuse, between 2019 and 2024 at locations including Hawick, Scottish Borders, and Bearsden, Glasgow.
The ex-Scotland captain, who plays for French club Montpellier, now lives abroad and is in the process of divorce proceedings, the court heard.
Hogg admitted a single charge which said he "did engage in a course of behaviour which was abusive of your ex-partner, Gillian Hogg" and that he "did shout and swear in an aggressive manner, track her movements [and] send her messages which were alarming and distressing in nature".
