## Key points

- Police are due to decide whether to charge four players.
- The investigation concerns an alleged assault at a Melbourne hotel.
- All four men deny sexual assault.

## Summary

Victoria Police is expected to decide whether to charge four current or former Sydney Swans players following an investigation into an alleged sexual assault at a Melbourne hotel. The decision matters because the allegations concern prominent players, but all four men deny sexual assault and an investigation does not establish that an offence occurred.

Police said the alleged incident involved women in a room at the Pullman East Melbourne Hotel in the early hours of 17 August. The players named are Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, James Jordon and former Swans player Nick Blakey, now at North Melbourne; teammate Riley Bice was also suspended by the Swans over a separate breach of the club’s behavioural standards relating to staying out late and bringing women to the hotel.
