The party is OVER
POLICE are probing a Richmond star over a topless photo scandal showing a young woman wearing his AFL Premiership medal.
The woman has claimed she is a victim of revenge pr0n after the images of her topless were widely circulated online and through text messages without her permission or knowledge.
Tiger time: How Richmond won the 2017 Premiership
The Herald Sun can confirm the AFL Integrity Unit is investigating the leaked photo and has been dealing with the woman for several days.
It can be revealed while the female consented to the photo being taken, the Richmond player told her it had been deleted from his phone.
But instead, he kept the picture and sent it out to his friendship circle.
The story was broken exclusively onheraldsun.com.au at 7.15pm.
A Richmond premiership medal draped around a topless woman’s neck, which will be investigated by police, and another nude woman outside Tigers HQ, which police are not looking into.
Victoria Police said in a statement: “Yarra Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating an image distributed on social media. The imagewas posted without consent. As the investigation is ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
The person who sent the images could be charged under “sexting” laws where adults who send the intimate images without the consent of the other person face charges.
The offence carries a maximum penalty of up to two years in prison.
The photo emerged last week and was taken after Richmond’s triumphant Grand Final win over Adelaide sparking wild celebrations across the city.
The bare-breasted woman has also engaged lawyers to represent her during the process.
