Australian prosecutors have dropped a potential criminal case against American actor Amber Heard over allegations that she lied to a court about how her Yorkshire terriers came to be smuggled into Australia eight years ago
Johnny Depp and his then wife Amber Heard leave The Southport Court in Southport, Queensland, Australia, on April 18, 2016 after Heard pleaded guilty to providing a false document after failing to tell customs she was entering the country with the pair's Yorkshire terriers.
The department had investigated discrepancies between what her lawyer told an Australian court in 2016 — when she admitted smuggling the dogs — and testimony given in a London court in 2020 when Depp, now 60, was suing The Sun newspaper for libel over allegations of domestic violence against his former wife.
The false documentation charge carried a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a fine of more than 10,000 Australian dollars . Magistrate Bernadette Callaghan sentenced Heard instead to a one-month good behavior bond, under which she would only have to pay a fine of AU$1,000 if she committed any offense in Australia over the next month.
