Personal lifeOn Christmas Day 2023, he had been accused of sending messages described as "menacing" to one victim over a space of 1.5 hours. Some of these messages were read out to court ("Open or I break", "It's gonna be bad", "You want trouble" & "I'm killing that guy"). He pleaded guilty to the charge. He also previously stood trial for similar offences in 2023, in which he was found not guilty by a jury. When he was initially charged, the court heard that he had engaged in controlling and coercive behaviour to the complainant several months before the incident took place in February 2024, in which he was said to have attacked the woman and prevented her from leaving a house On the morning of 13 January 2025, he was issued Not Guilty verdicts for the charges by the Puisne Judge Liam Yeats, after the Crown told the court it hadn't offered any evidence regarding the player. The judge said that the given time Cabrera served on remand, he would no longer issue any further penalty for the abusive messages, giving out the quote "You're free to go". References
