Arrest Warrant Issued for Former Home and Away Star Orpheus Pledger After Hospital Escape

Former Home and Away star Orpheus Pledger is wanted by police after absconding from a Melbourne hospital during a court-ordered medical assessment. The actor was ordered to return to court after the assessment but failed to appear on Tuesday. Pledger is accused of violently assaulting a woman, and footage released during his bail hearing shows him dragging her inside and stomping on her. The 30-year-old’s manager condemned the violence against women but said that his client has suffered from mental health issues for a long time. Pledger has been scheduled to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on May 10.
