		</div><p>Former New Zealand rugby international Mils Muliaina has been cleared of sexual assault today.</p>
<p>Proceedings against the 35-year-old World Cup winner were dropped after Cardiff Crown Court heard there was not enough evidence.</p>
<p>Mr Muliaina had been accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in Cardiff city centre in March.</p>
<p>The following month, the All Blacks legend was arrested by police moments after a European Challenge Cup quarter-final match.</p>
<p>Defending counsel John Charles Rees QC said the Crown’s case against his client had been “outrageous”.</p>
<p>He said: “He is a professional athlete whose reputation has been reduced while the complainant remains anonymous.</p>
<p>“The allegation was that her bottom had been fleetingly touched on a busy nightclub dance floor.</p>
<p>“He has denied doing anything wrong from beginning to end.”</p>
<p>The rugby star offered no thoughts about the woman who had made a complaint against him.</p>
<p>He said: “I don’t even know her and I don’t know what happened, but I wasn’t the person who had done what she said had happened.”</p>
<p>Mr Muliaina’s solicitor, Matthew De Maid, said the defence would be applying for costs in the case.</p>
