Former Channel Nine sports presenter Cameron Williams has put his four-bedroom Coogee home on the market with a price guide of $5.4 million, just weeks after being charged with common assault against his wife Natasha Russo. The property, described as a 'seaside retreat', will go to auction on Saturday.
The two-storey home boasts ocean views from both levels, a large outdoor entertaining area, a cellar, and is located 500 metres from Coogee Beach. Potential buyers have been told the owners plan to move to Queensland.
Williams, 59, is scheduled to appear at Singleton Local Court on Thursday after being charged with one count of common assault. Police allege he pushed and grabbed his wife during an incident at the couple's rural property in Howes Valley, New South Wales, in the early hours of Sunday.
Williams was granted conditional bail, requiring him to reside at the Coogee home, comply with an apprehended violence order, and be of good behaviour. His solicitor, Paul McGirr, stated that Williams is a loving family man who is 'extremely embarrassed' and will plead not guilty.
The alleged assault occurred months after Williams resigned from Channel Nine in March, citing health reasons. He had been with the network for many years and said leaving was difficult but necessary for his family.
