The charge carries a two-year maximum prison penalty. According to the magazine, Key Chambers attorney Jason Moffett had been briefed on the situation.
“It’s related to a domestic partnership. The claim is of a severe nature, and Mr. Kyrgios takes it very seriously. He doesn’t have a statement at this time because the matter is still pending in court, but when the time is right, we’ll issue a press release “explained Moffett. According to Australian media, Kyrgios’ ex-partner Chiara Passari filed a complaint that was the basis for the charge. After a disagreement in October of last year, Kyrgios and Passari were separated into different rooms at their Adelaide quarantine hotel.
