Jack De Belin relaxes with teammates and a high-alcohol vodka pre-mix drink just hours after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman, 19, with another footy player following a night out
Footy star Jack De Belin was enjoying a drink with teammates just hours after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman on a night out.
The 27-year-old rugby league player voluntarily handed himself to Wollongong Police Station, south of Sydney, at about 3.40pm on Thursday.
Police allege De Belin sexually assaulted the teenager at a Wollongong unit on Sunday at about 1.30am.
Just hours after the alleged assault, De Belin caught up with several Dragons teammates at North Wollongong Hotel including Kurt Mann, Euan Aitken, Jai Field, Lachlan Timm, Blake Lawrie, and Tristan Sailor, the son of former Queensland great Wendell Sailor.
Sporting a black hat, sunglasses and ripped black jeans while holding a drink, a relaxed De Belin grinned as he posed in a group photo which Sailor posted on Instagram on Sunday.
De Belin can be seen holding a can of Smirnoff Ice Double Black - a vodka drink with a tangy citrus flavoured soda.
'Here is a few presents from Santa,' Sailor captioned the photo.
Field could be a witness in the case, having spent time with the woman and De Belin earlier in the night,
The Daily Telegraph reported
There's no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Field and he's not being investigated by police.
The woman, who has given a statement to police, claims she was sexually assaulted by two football players after leaving an establishment on Crown Street, Wollongong, according to
Nine News.
She claims she left the venue with a large group of people and hopped into a pedicab with De Belin and a lower grade player- thinking they were going to another venue.
The woman alleges the trio arrived at an apartment block because the two men said they needed to get changed.
She followed them upstairs as she needed to use the toilet.
The 19-year-old claimed when she came out of the toilet the two men were naked and allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Following the alleged assault, the woman told a friend and attended hospital for treatment.
De Belin has told the Dragons he denies the allegations, according to Nine News, and has also told his partner that he is innocent.
De Belin's long-term partner Alyce Taylor, who is 20 weeks pregnant with their first child, has since deleted her social media accounts.
The alleged assault has been reported to the NRL Integrity Unit.
The St George Illawarra Dragons said they had been advised De Belin was charged with sexual assault in a statement released on Thursday evening.
'The club is taking the matter very seriously and have been working with Jack and all relevant authorities, including the police and the NRL Integrity Unit, since this time,' the statement said.
Jack has been provided with welfare support to enable him the time and opportunity to deal with the matter.
'As this is a police matter to be considered by the court, the club is not in a position to make any further comment at this time.'
De Belin was named in a 32-man squad due to take part in a training session on Friday under NSW coach Brad Fittler.
It's unknown whether he'll now take part in the training session.
