AFL Hall of Famer Carl Ditterich to Face Trial for Historical Child Sexual Abuse

The former St Kilda and Melbourne star is accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl in 1985.

Carl Ditterich, 79, has been charged with three counts of indecent assault and one count of gross indecency.
The alleged incident occurred in a parked car in Moorabbin after purchasing alcohol in August 1985.
A diary kept by the alleged victim at the time is a key piece of evidence in the case.
Ditterich, a member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame, played 285 games in a 17-year career.
The AFL is awaiting the trial's outcome before deciding on Ditterich's Hall of Fame status.
