League players in sex attack claims
RUGBY league's "Mad Monday" celebrations officially started on Sunday for West Tigers players after their last game of the season, but ended 16 hours later with a woman complaining to police of sexual assault.
A 26-year-old woman has told police she woke up at a party that she had attended with a group of players and others, to find her underwear rearranged and her clothing dishevelled.
The woman, who had met the players at Hugo's Lounge in Kings Cross, feared she had been the victim of a date rape drug and went to Parramatta police station at 10.40am.
A police spokeswoman said the NSW Child Protection and Sex Crimes Squad was investigating the allegation.
A Wests Tigers player said the woman came back "quite willingly" to the party at Five Dock and he thought it was "all systems go".
He said his teammates were shattered at the complaint and it had ended the year on a sour note. Wests Tigers, the reigning premiers, failed to make the eight this season, finishing 11th.
The chief executive of the National Rugby League, David Gallop, said the allegations were "clearly a major concern" but they were a matter for the police.
The scene of the alleged attack, in William Street, is not far from from the Wests Tigers training ground at Concord Oval and is home to the player Ryan O'Hara. There is no suggestion that O'Hara is involved in the alleged assault - and he has told friends he was not at his home when the assault is alleged to have occurred.
Earlier in the night the players had partied at Hugo's Lounge and then at another nightspot, the Sapphire Suite. From there the team split, with at least five players choosing to go to O'Hara's place with other people and a group of women.
Residents in the apartment block said the party went all night and was rowdy. The Wests Tigers chief executive, Steve Noyce, had spoken to the players yesterday morning before he attended Burwood police station to talk to investigating officers.
"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," Noyce said. "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."
Noyce said the club would not initiate its own investigation, relying instead on directions from the police. They were continuing to keep the NRL informed of any developments.
