McGregor stated that he turned down a private dance, which is when the glass was thrown. He was unable to recall how much alcohol he had consumed, but he was not drunk. The court also heard that McGregor "has a history of public drunkenness and aggression towards women, and police had previously been called to the Melbourne home of his ex-girlfriend."

Magistrate Simon Zebrowski refused to release details of the charge but described it as "one momentary very slight touch" and "a single non-sexual episode that was extraordinarily minor in the circumstances". He ordered McGregor write a letter of gratitude to the police officer who recommended his case be diverted from court, a letter of apology to the complainant and make a $300 donation to the charity of his choice. If he complies by December, the case will be struck out.
