Reports: “High profile player” charged with sexual assault as well as alleged rape

According to the Courier Mail in Queensland Australia, a “high profile” player from the Brisbane Broncos was charged with rape.

It comes after an alleged incident near Christmas but the player cannot be named at this juncture.

This is because the Queensland court laws don’t allow the identification of people charged with sexual assault or rape offences until committed to trial.

Thus, the man will remain unnamed but according to Zero Tackle in Australia he is in his 20s.

The case was mentioned in court recently but the man remains unnamed.

ABC have said that the alleged incident took place on December 10th and that he was charged with the alleged rape in January.

Yesterday, the Magistrates court mentioned the case for the first time but the player was absent with his lawyer the one in attendance.

As of now, the player is out on bail. The case will come to court today down under.

According to Zero Tackle, the player is also under investigation from the NRL’s Integrity Unit.

This has seen him stood down from club activities and of course games for the foreseeable future.

As the case has begun, it has been revealed that the same player has been charged for a further sexual assault offence.

This was confirmed in court yesterday as proceedings began but the player still wasn’t present.
