'He gave me a waterboarding': Ex-girlfriend hits out as actor is cleared of assault after blaming attack on anti-smoking drug.
An actor accused of assaulting his girlfriend escaped trial yesterday after blaming the attack on an anti-smoking drug.
The case against Casualty actor Nicholas Williams collapsed when medical experts suggested a mix of alcohol and the drug Champix could have fuelled the assault.
A judge found Williams, 33, not guilty of assault and causing actual bodily harm after experts said the drug, combined with alcohol and a history of depression, could have caused him to lose control.
His ex-girlfriend Helen Millar told police he subjected her to a terrifying two-hour assault after taking her out to dinner to celebrate her 26th birthday last August.
