Sydney Swans players reportedly set to be interviewed over alleged Melbourne hotel sexual assault
Victoria Police are reportedly preparing to interview Sydney Swans players as part of an investigation into sexual assault claims involving exotic dancers at a Melbourne hotel.
According to a report by the Herald Sun , detectives from the Victorian Sexual Crimes Squad could travel to Sydney as early as this week to speak to the players.
The players named in the report are Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, Riley Bice and James Jordon.
The report has not been confirmed by Victoria Police, which told The Nightly it had no updates to provide when contacted on Tuesday.
Although Heeney has been the focus of the investigation to date, other players could also be questioned under caution about his activities at the hotel, according to reports.
No charges have been laid and the players have denied any criminal wrongdoing.
The investigation centres on an alleged incident at the Pullman East Melbourne hotel following the Swans’ win over Essendon at the MCG on August 16.
