Muliaina arrested over sex assault

 

The 34-year-old fullback, who won 100 caps for the All Blacks over a nine-year period, is suspected of involvement in an incident in Cardiff last month.

 

He was pictured on television being led away by police officers following his Irish club's 7-14 loss at Gloucester in the European Challenge Cup quarterfinals.

 

"Connacht confirmed that Mils Muliaina is currently assisting the South Wales Police with enquiries relating to an alleged incident in Cardiff in March of this year," said a statement from Connacht.

 

"As this is a legal matter, Connacht will be making no further comment at this time."

 

A spokesman from Gloucestershire Police confirmed that a man in his 30s had been arrested at Gloucester's Kingsholm Stadium "on suspicion of sexual assault in relation to an incident in Cardiff in March".

 

The spokesman added: "The man has been handed over to officers from South Wales Police, who are investigating the incident."
