Read the sick texts cricket commentator Michael Slater allegedly sent to the woman he is accused of denigrating and threatening to kill – as he breaks down in court

Michael Slater allegedly broke into an ex-partner’s house after sending her disturbing text messages, punching, kicking and threatening to kill her, court documents revealed.

He collapsed in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Tuesday when he was refused bail for the offenses committed.

He faces 19 charges relating to alleged offenses carried out on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on various dates between December 5, 2023 and April 12 this year.

The 54-year-old has spent the past few days at Maroochydore police watch station since his arrest at the weekend.

Some of the alleged acts of violence were captured on CCTV cameras at the woman’s property, including her allegations of repeated verbal abuse – shouting obscenities and insults before forcing her way into the house.

The former Test Cricket star faces 19 charges, including intentionally trespassing at night, common assault, assault causing bodily harm and choking or suffocation.

Mr Slater, dressed in prison green, put his head in his hands after learning his bail offer had been refused.

He then collapsed as he was taken back to his cell by corrections staff.

The charges include domestic violence offenses such as unlawful harassment or intimidation, breaking and entering a dwelling with intent at night, common assault, assault causing bodily harm and choking or suffocation.

He was also charged with breaching bail and 10 counts of breaching a domestic violence order.

Police confirmed they arrested a 54-year-old Noosa Heads man at an address on the Sunshine Coast on Friday following alleged incidents of domestic violence involving a woman he was briefly in a relationship with.

Now the documents have revealed the shocking extent of the allegations against the former Test batter.

Police allege Slater (pictured outside a Sydney police station in 2021) sent more than 300 text messages to an ex-partner as he threatened suicide and called her horrible insults.

He faces criminal harassment charges after being accused of bombarding the woman with around 300 text messages between December last year and April 13.

Slater’s messages allegedly saw him calling her an “escort”, a “shit” and a “c**t” while he threatened suicide in some texts.

‘Fuck you, you’re a fraud, I’ll hang my skull in front of your house. How does this fucking king make you feel stupid? It’s you, fucking king, who killed me,” he is accused of writing.

Police alleged Slater punched the woman in the face as she sat on the sofa at his Noosa address after she came to check on his well-being when he texted her to say “I fell and I think I broke a rib,” according to News Corp.

The blow caused her eyes to bulge before he kicked her in the leg, knocking her down, before raising a bottle of vodka above her head and saying: “I’m going to kill you, whore”.

Slater (pictured during a previous appearance in a Queensland court) was refused bail after police told the court some of his alleged offenses were captured on CCTV.

When the woman tried to move away from him, Slater allegedly grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against a refrigerator.

He is also accused of lifting her by the neck until she could no longer breathe after pushing her into a sink and washing machine.

It is alleged Slater called the woman on April 12 this year to tell her he was in a mental health facility, then smashed a window at her home and entered the address after telling several “Fuck you” and “Where’s your daughter?”

The ex-star grabbed his arm “firmly” before police took him to hospital to treat an injury he suffered while breaking the window.

Legal Aid lawyer Michael Robinson told the court on Tuesday his client planned to reside at a rehabilitation center in Sydney if released.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Brendan Newman said court orders, previous convictions and bail had not deterred Mr Slater.

The 54-year-old (pictured playing for Australia) is accused of breaking into the woman’s home after punching her in the face and lifting her by the neck.

Maroochydore Magistrates Court heard Mr Slater denied any allegations of violence against the complainant.

The court was told that part of Mr Slater’s alleged offenses involved “serious” acts of violence against the complainant, some of which was captured on the house’s CCTV.

Sergeant Newman said Mr Slater could have been heard on the tape repeatedly shouting “fuck you” and verbally abusing the complainant, before smashing a window.

The victim was then allegedly attacked at the home by Mr Slater, he said.

“She is begging him to stop several times, she is undressed, cowering, clearly scared for her safety,” Sergeant Newman told the court.

“We say the strength of the evidence is good.”

Bail was ultimately refused by Magistrate Raelene Ellis.

“Some of these offenses were committed within 24 hours of the first court appearance at other times,” she said.

After making his debut on the 1993 Ashes tour, Slater played 74 Tests for Australia, amassing 5312 runs at an average of 42.83 with 14 centuries.

He also played 42 one-day international matches.

Slater retired from cricket in 2004, embarking on a successful career as a television commentator.
