Geelong young gun Tanner Bruhn has been interviewed by police about his knowledge of an alleged sexual assault
The Herald Sun can reveal Bruhn and another man were interviewed in relation to their knowledge of an incident that took place in Belmont — a suburb of Geelong — on February 5 last year.
It’s understood the midfielder spoke with detectives from the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team at Geelong Police Station last Thursday.
It came a day after he celebrated Wacky Wednesday with his teammates at the Wharf Shed.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the pair was not arrested and they were free to go after the interview.
“Police have interviewed two men as part of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault in February 2023,” she said.
“The men were released pending further investigation into the matter.”
AFL spokesman Jay Allen said the AFL was aware of the matter.
“As it is a Victoria Police investigation, we are not in a position to make any further comment at this time,” he said.
It comes as Geelong’s season came to an end against the Lions in the semi finals.
Bruhn missed seven games with a shoulder setback and fractured wrist.
Speaking to the media at Melbourne Airport following the Cats’ win over Port Adelaide, the midfielder said he battled injuries all season.
“I have battled with a bit of continuity this year. Had a few injuries and a few niggles but I enjoyed last night,” he said.
“These are always the games you want to be a part of. I think for me personally this is a big reason why I wanted to come home, play in big games and big crowds.”
Bruhn began his football career with the Newtown and Chilwell Football Club where he played 55 matches between 2013 and 2018.
He then played at Geelong Grammar School and Geelong Falcons.
Bruhn was recruited by the Giants in the 2020 AFL draft before he was picked up by the Cats when he requested a trade.
Geelong Football Club and Bruhn were contacted for comment.
