News Hawthorn player questioned over sexual assault allegation - No Names, etc; UPDATED: cleared (9/5/16)

[Hodginator]

Not cool.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Don't guess names. They'll be released eventually.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Doesn't sound good.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Interestingly The Age aren't anywhere near this.

Interestingly The Age aren't anywhere near this.

They'll be all over it soon.

I hope it's not true, but if indeed a Hawk or 2 have sexually assaulted somebody, I hope they cop the full force of the law, media, and from the club. Shocking.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

As this is the subject of a current investigation let's tread very carefully on this topic. Trolls will be dealt with harshly. Please do not attempt to guess the names of the player or players involved. Do not ask for their identities.

Oath.

 

[legstump]

Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but if true they don't need to be shown the door so much as kicked out the nearest window.

 

[macdaddio]

Hope not anyone from the 3-peats.

Went from being happy to miserable.

Please don't let it be true...

Anyone who claims sexual assault who has not been sexually assaulted should be bloody thrown in jail for sure, wasting police time, resources, lying, trying to ruin somebody's life... There is an actual charge for it isn't there?

What happens if they are found innocent but not enough evidence to suggest that it didn't happen?

 

[Lethality]

One premiership player and one listed player were in the taxi. Stuart Fox says the investigation is only on one player.

 

[GoHawks05]

My dad is a police officer. He says it is two players. A very reliable source

 

[beta_condition]

Is true it wasn't a member of the 2015 team?

key word in that article used: "Could"

Caroline Wilson just put down her tub of ice-cream and sat down at her computer...

Is true it wasn't a member of the 2015 team?

No, I think it is someone from the 2015 team as well as another player. Sounds to me that the allegations are against one player but another player is involved in some way.

Only allegations and investigations at this point, will wait and see before making any judgements.

 

[HawkMongrel]

Plenty of conjecture about.

Wait for confirmed details, if proven to be true it's adios for whoever it is. If bollocks, then we move on. Simple as that.

 

[Jiggystoon]

They are allegations at this point in time, nothing more, if there is truth in the allegations then the player / players involved deserve everything that comes to them, let's let it play out though

Deny deny deny

Well shit

 

[DannyJ]

Allegations at this point. So no comment really

 

[Whirling Dervish]

Some very average posts in this thread already - one poster in particular. Won't quote in the vain hope they'll edit or delete.

It's no wonder someone would be reluctant to report an assault, after already having been through the trauma of it and then being able to expect some of these attitudes.

Edit: not commenting on this particular incident, just the attitudes in response to the investigation
