A charge of burglary against Wallabies rugby union star Quade Cooper has been dropped in a Gold Coast court.
Cooper, 22, did not appear in Southport Magistrates Court on Friday, where police offered no evidence against him on allegations he stole two laptops from a residence in Surfers Paradise on December 6.
The late night incident had threatened to derail the young fly-half’s career.
Cooper’s lawyers said the withdrawal of the charge followed completion of a justice mediation process with the complainants, which was conducted through the Department of Justice and Attorney-General.
Director of Chesterfield Lawyers, Dan McManus, said mediation was an accepted part of the Queensland justice system.
“It can only take place with the willing participation and consent of all parties, including the Queensland Police Service,” he said.
“Justice mediation is a confidential process and the parties cannot elaborate on the content or details of the events nor the process which has led to this outcome.
“Due to the confidentiality constraints of the justice mediation process, it is not appropriate to comment publicly further now that this matter has been disposed of, and no further comment can be offered.”
