May parted ways with the Penrith Panthers mutually and has been stood down by the NRL until his court case has concluded

  • May faces allegations he assaulted his wife 
  • Will appear before a hearing on March 10 next year 
  • Has been stood down by the NRL until the case is over 

Former Penrith Panther Taylan May will battle allegations he assaulted his wife and later contravened an AVO when he faces a Sydney court next year.

Mr May, 23, has pleaded not guilty to allegations he punched his wife during an altercation at a Werrington home in April.

He was arrested in May and charged with assault and two counts of stalk/intimidate intending to cause fear/physical harm.

He also had an AVO taken out against him.

In August, he was arrested at an Emerton shopping centre and spent a night in police custody after he was charged with contravening that AVO.

He was released on bail after appearing in Parramatta Bail Court, with the court hearing on that occasion that the AVO had been altered, allowing him to contact his wife.

His matter was mentioned in Penrith Local Court on Friday where his lawyer told Magistrate Stephen Corry that Mr May had pleaded not guilty to all charges, including the allegation he breached the AVO.

He will appear before a hearing on March 10 next year.

The court previously heard three witnesses were expected to be called by the defence.

His solicitor Abdul Reslan asked Mr Corrie on Friday if there was capacity for the court to move Mr May’s hearing forward to this year.

However Mr Corrie noted some hearings in the local court were being set for August next year.

Mr May was stood down indefinitely by the NRL on May 23 under the game’s no-fault stand-down policy before he parted ways with the NRL premiers by mutual agreement in July.
