No Oppo Supporters Tanner Bruhn interviewed by police over incident from 2023

[TEDDY24INC]

Click bait headline, reading the article Tanner is a witness only and not a suspect

They massaged their headings not long ago to be less defamation-ish.

So they should.. hope the club puts a call into the journo/publisher as that is rubbish

“Released pending further investigation” is what makes me nervous. I’m not a lawyer (believe it or not).. but how could a non suspect be “released”. The wording just sounds strange

 

[Turbocat]

Really dislike the naming of people in stuff like this … one may as well tar and feather someone before the facts are know as once named.. its almost unavoidable that you are perpetually linked to something nefarious.

Was it the Murdoch Press?

 

[Down at K Park]

A nothingburger.

No surprise the pond scum “journalists” are twisting the headlines to get more clicks.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Terribly poor headline.

Yes, he was interviewed. Never mind the facts - and that he “witnessed” an alleged incident ……. As compared to “committed” the alleged incident.

Its a non issue

It's not a 'non issue'. If he witnessed an alleged incident I would wonder why the interview now.
Surely he would have gone to the police at the time.

Herald Sun is where I first saw it published

It’s Jon Ralph! Probably baiting for clicks.

 

[David the Cat]

Good job Cats_09..."No opposition supporters" was a good move, Saves a lot of angst for Geelong Board Mods to address.

I am sure all posters on this Board will continue to comment carefully as they have to date.

interviewed "about his knowledge" of an alleged assault, is grist for the mill for the Murdoch Press.

Media are morons.

 

[Strange Cat]

Media are morons.

Journalism died with social media it’s all about the outrage and clicks

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

The bottom line is that we don't know anything apart from hearsay and conjecture. So, let's wait until the police finish their investigation instead of jumping to rash conclusions.

 

[catstragic]

Depending on the circumstances, that might still not be very good.

Given the option of "witness", "perpetrator" or "victim" I think witness is about the best that can be hoped for! that said hopefully its a nothingburger, time will tell.

"1would wonder why the interview now" Perhaps the alleged assault has just come to light

 

[GoCatters07]

Yes, if he was a witness to a sexual assault, especially one in which "Child Abuse Investigation" is involved, and didn't report anything, I'd say that's pretty bad and not something to be dismissed off hand.

That’s the name of the Police department, they work on sexual assault and child abuse cases - bloody tough gig

"1would wonder why the interview now" Perhaps the alleged assault has just come to light

Which is precisely my 2nd query.
If I were witness to such a thing I wouldn't be waiting for it to come to light. I'd hope I'd do the right thing and talk to the police at the next opportunity.

Edit: NVM. News corp changing the story.

There are so many reasons why, and the reason why speculation shouldn’t be reported upon - some leech has got word out to the media for their own gratification but it causes so many issues - for the victim, and for others implicated but not responsible. Remember how Josh Giddey was treated when he was accused - it almost destroyed his career. We just have to wait the course and hope he’ll have done the right thing.

As above, the media wording has been changed to remove implication to him being a witness to the incident.

 

[lionbear]

Media are unbelievable, they talk about the assault then talk about his injuries like perhaps he was stood down, the league really need to do something about the media, no player from any club should have an article like this written about them until the facts are known.
