| Subject: OZschwitz: Greens MP Cohen accused of assault Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:02 pm | |
| YET another state MP has been implicated in domestic violence allegations, with the Greens MP Ian Cohen receiving a court summons to appear on charges of assault occasioning bodily harm and common assault concerning his former partner.
Cohen, an MP since 1995, said yesterday that the matter was "before the court" and he was "absolutely not guilty". He said he would be defending the charges.
The charges relate to an alleged assault on Donna Davis, who has confirmed that she made an allegation against Cohen last January concerning an alleged incident the previous June.
Cohen's forthcoming court appearance at Byron Bay Local Court follows a string of Labor state MPs being implicated in domestic violence scandals.
