A 28-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted at the Beach Road Hotel in Bondi Beach on Saturday, December 17, 2022.
Police investigating the matter today arrested 33-year-old Beale as he left training with the NSW Waratahs, stopping his car on Rainbow Street, Kingsford, around 2.30pm.
The new father was taken to Waverley Police Station where he was charged with two counts of sexually touch another person without consent, incite another to sexually touch them without consent and sexual intercourse without consent.
Beale was refused bail and will appear before Parramatta Bail Court tomorrow.
Earlier on Friday, following Beale's arrest Rugby Australia and the NSW Waratahs issued a joint statement on the investigations.
"Rugby Australia, the NSW Waratahs and Rugby Union Players Association (RUPA) are aware of the situation involving Kurtley Beale," they said.
"As this is a police matter, and we understand there has been no charge made, we will be making no further comment at this time."
Beale is one of Australian rugby's highest-profile players of the past decade. He made his international debut for the Wallabies in 2009, and has since earned more than 90 Test caps.
He was part of the Waratahs' Super Rugby-winning squad in 2014 and represented the Wallabies at three Rugby World Cups - 2011, 2015 and 2019.
His international career seemed to have come to an end following the 2019 campaign, when he left Super Rugby to join French side Racing 92.
However, he made a comeback two years later in 2021 for a Test against Scotland.
He has since rejoined the Waratahs for the 2023 Super Rugby season, and earlier this month was one of 44 players selected for a four-day Wallabies training camp on the Gold Coast.
