Sydney Swans scandal: New details emerge over alleged East Melbourne Pullman Hotel incident

New details have emerged about the alleged incident involving five Sydney Swans players at a Melbourne hotel, with reports detailing what was allegedly happening inside the room before a woman raised a complaint.

Victoria Police’s Sexual Crimes Squad is investigating an alleged sexual assault at the Pullman Hotel in East Melbourne in the early hours of Monday morning, following the Swans’ win over Essendon at the MCG.

The club has confirmed five players were in the hotel room at the centre of the investigation. The players are Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, James Jordon and Riley Bice.

However, the number of people allegedly inside the room has been disputed.

The woman at the centre of the allegations claim as many as nine men were present in the room.

The Swans have strongly rejected any suggestion more than five players were in the room, saying on Friday it was considering its legal position and condemning what it described as “misinformation”.

The club said on Friday that its investigations had “consistently indicated” the only club representatives in the room were the five suspended players and said it had “every reason to consider that reports to the contrary are simply false”.

The Age has also reported that former Swans player Taylor Adams visited the hotel room at some point during the night. Adams is understood to be a close friend of Heeney.

According to a new Code Sports report, cocaine and ketamine were allegedly being used inside the room.

The report follows earlier ABC reporting that Victoria Police had been told some Sydney players allegedly paid adult entertainers to consume drugs from their bodies.

Code Sports has also reported that the atmosphere in the room allegedly changed after one of the women claimed she had been touched in a way that went beyond what had been agreed.

One woman allegedly became enraged after a man in the room slapped her buttocks four times when three had allegedly been agreed.

The report further alleges that the complaint caused a commotion before one of the women was locked outside the room wearing very little clothing shortly before 7am.

The two women had reportedly been booked through Party Girls Melbourne after 4am and were later seen in the hotel foyer speaking with hotel staff and Swans employees.
