Almost two weeks after shocking allegations surrounding the Sydney Swans first emerged, Victoria Police have confirmed detectives are still actively investigating a report of sexual assault at an East Melbourne hotel.
The Sexual Crimes Squad investigation centres on an alleged incident at the Pullman Hotel on Wellington Parade in the early hours of August 17, after the Swans’ win over Essendon at the MCG.
A Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed detectives were continuing to investigate and were still working to establish exactly what happened.
“Detectives from the Sexual Crimes Squad continue to investigate a report of a sexual assault in East Melbourne on 17 August,” they said.
“The incident occurred at a hotel on Wellington Parade in the early hours of the morning.
“The exact circumstances of the matter are still being established, and a number of people have been spoken to.
“As the investigation remains active and ongoing, we will not be commenting further including providing information on the specific circumstances of the matter, movements of detectives and any statements or interviews taken.
“Where there is information that it is appropriate and beneficial to release, then we will do so.”
