Overview
- The inquiry stems from an incident at the Pullman East Melbourne hotel on August 17 when three women later reported alleged sexual assaults to Victoria Police.
- Detectives from the Sexual Crimes Squad travelled to New South Wales this week and conducted formal interviews with four men identified by age and suburb.
- Police say they now believe they have identified all seven people who were in the hotel room and are not looking for anyone further.
- No arrests or charges have been laid and Victoria Police warned the public they do not expect to provide more details for about eight weeks while investigators assess evidence.
- The Sydney Swans have kept five players suspended for the rest of the season as a separate disciplinary measure, the players and the three complainants have engaged separate lawyers, and the club says it will continue welfare contact while it reviews culture and operational impacts ahead of the finals.
