Victoria Police are investigating a report of a sexual assault at a hotel where the Sydney Swans were staying on Sunday night.
The Swans maintained momentum towards the AFL finals with a win over the Bombers at the MCG but there was allegedly an incident at their hotel afterwards.
“Police are investigating a report of a sexual assault in East Melbourne on 17 August,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said in a statement on Monday.
“The incident occurred at a hotel on Wellington Parade in the early hours of the morning.
“The exact circumstances are yet to be established and the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
The Herald Sun reported that as many as eight police officers with clipboards and cameras were seen around the venue on Sunday.
The Swans released a brief statement on Monday afternoon confirming an “alleged incident”.
“The Sydney Swans can confirm several players were involved in an alleged incident in Melbourne last night,” the club said.
“The Swans have notified the AFL and relevant authorities, and cannot provide further comment at this stage.”
Sydney is currently second on the ladder and faces North Melbourne this weekend.
