Ryan Crowley Faces Nine Charges After Alleged Assault on Lauren Dunn

He was released on $20,000 bail under strict conditions including a ban on contacting Dunn, a Western Australia travel restriction and twice-weekly reporting to Northbridge Police ahead of a July court date.

Overview

  • The former Fremantle Docker allegedly attacked Dunn at her Claremont apartment on May 27, strangling her, smothering her with a pillow and violently shaking her until she lost consciousness.
  • Dunn sustained bruises, scratches and other injuries documented in court photographs, including damaged fingernails and swelling to her wrist and torso.
  • Crowley was arrested at Perth Train Station on May 28 and charged with nine domestic violence offences including aggravated assault, deprivation of liberty and impeding another’s breathing.
  • During Thursday’s Perth Magistrates Court hearing, prosecutors highlighted multiple past family violence reports, most of which depicted Crowley as the aggressor in the couple’s turbulent relationship.
  • Crowley’s lawyer described the allegations as untested hearsay as his client awaits a July 24 appearance under strict bail conditions.
