Aussie actor in court

Aaron Jeffery

McLeod's Daughters actor Aaron Jeffery has appeared in court for allegedly assaulting and threatening the life of a family member.

The charges related to an alleged incident involving his wife Belinda in September.

Jeffery was not required to enter a plea to charges of committing common assault on a member of his own family and threatening life. He was excused from attending the next court hearing next month.
