Former Australian rugby player ​​Michael Lichaa was acquitted of domestic violence charges involving his ex-fiancee Friday after the 29-year-old revealed the salacious details of the night he nearly lost his life due to extreme blood loss after seeing his partner perform a sexual act on a teammate. 

Lichaa, who previously played for the Canterbury Bulldogs, pleaded guilty to destroying property and was given a two-year conditional release order after an Australian court acquitted him of domestic violence charges alleged by Kara Childerhouse, who declined to testify in court Thursday, The Australian reported.

The incident happened in February 2021 after a day of heavy drinking, Lichaa told the court Thursday.

According to the report, Lichaa said he woke up to find Childerhouse performing a sexual act on former teammate Adam Elliott in their backyard and erupted into a fit of rage, subsequently punching the glass window on his front door.
