We have been made aware of an allegation that a woman may have been sexually assaulted early Monday morning at a place where both Wests Tigers players and others were presentAdvertisement
AdvertisementA Sydney NRL club's end-of-season "Mad Monday" celebrations have ended in an alleged sexual assault, it was reported this afternoon.
Up to four Wests Tigers players are alleged to be involved in a sexual assault after Mad Monday celebrations.
Two women are believed to have made complaints against the players. There are reports that a cheerleader may have been involved.
The alleged assault is said to have taken place at an apartment in Five Dock.
Ray Hadley went to air on 2GB at 4pm and said that "date rape'' drug may have been used in the sexual assault.
"Reports are that a date rape drug may have been involved,'' Hadley said. "She made a statement yesterday morning to the Parramatta police.''
A police spokeswoman would not confirm a rugby league player - or players - were involved in the alleged incident.
However, she did say: "There's an investigation into an alleged sexual assault at Five Dock and a report was made on Monday by a 26-year-old female to Parramatta police that she has alleged that she may have been sexually assaulted at a unit in Five Dock."
The spokeswoman said the Child Protection and Sex Crime squads as well as Burwood detectives were investigating the matter.
Wests Tigers, the reigning premiers, finished their season in 11th spot.
Wests Tigers Chief Executive Steve Noyce today issued the following statement.
"We have been made aware of an allegation that a woman may have been sexually assaulted early Monday morning at a place where both Wests Tigers players and others were present.
"We are not aware at this stage of any specific allegation against a Wests Tigers player and the Club is very keen to work with the police to establish what may or may not have taken place.''
At the club this afternoon Mr Noyce said he had been contacted by police about the incident yesterday afternoon.
He did not know whether it involved a cheerleader but he said the unit where the incident allegedly happened in was rented by a Wests Tigers player.
He said Wests Tigers and others were at the unit when the alleged incident took place.
But he added that no Wests Tigers had yet been interviewed by police.
"I spoke to the players this morning at training just to make them aware that I had heard some rumours, if that's the right word, and just to say that the club would work through the process and that to make sure that they kept in touch with me and come to talk to me if they had any issues," he said.
"At this stage I don't know from police who they are suggesting may or may not have been involved."
When asked if the woman was associated with the club, he said: "I don't know any details about the woman to be honest."
He said he did not know if the woman was an NRL cheerleader.

Even though you didn't spike her drink, you can't exactly have sex with someone who is barely conscious because they are not in a state to consent.
