Bombshell details have emerged in another explosive twist to the Sydney Swans alleged sexual assault scandal. <\/p>\n

The Victoria Police Sexual Crimes Squad continues to investigate an alleged sexual assault that occurred inside the team\u2019s Pullman Hotel in the early hours of Monday morning \u2014 hours after players had been given permission to party following a win over Essendon at the MCG.<\/p>\n

The Swans have confirmed five players were present inside a hotel room when a woman claims she was sexually assaulted. <\/p>\n

As first reported by The Herald Sun<\/a>, the woman at the centre of the allegations has claimed up to nine men were present. <\/p>\n

The Swans have strongly refuted any suggestion more than five players were present and issued a statement on Friday to say the club is considering its legal position while condemning \u201cmisinformation\u201d being reported. <\/p>\n

Hours after that statement was released, The Age revealed former Swans star Taylor Adams visited the hotel room at some point.<\/p>\n

Adams, who played 173 games for Collingwood before finishing his career with the Swans where he played just 23 games in three seasons, is reportedly a close friend of Swans star Isaac Heeney. <\/p>\n

Of the five Swans players involved in the alleged incident, Heeney is reportedly at the centre of the police investigation. <\/p>\n

Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, James Jordon and Riley Bice have all been suspended for the remainder of the 2025 season as a result of their big night out where the club says they breached behavioural standards by staying out late, drinking and bringing women back to the hotel in East Melbourne. <\/p>\n

New details have now emerged from the night of drinking with Code Sports <\/a>revealing shocking new details about how the alleged events played out. <\/p>\n

According to the report, sources allege cocaine and ketamine were being consumed in the hotel room. <\/p>\n

That comes after the ABC reported Victoria Police detectives have been told some Sydney players paid adult entertainers to allow them to consume drugs, believed to be cocaine, \u201cfrom the women\u2019s breasts and buttocks\u201d. <\/p>\n

Code Sports has now revealed the mood inside the hotel room changed entirely when one of the two exotic dancers present claimed she was inappropriately touched \u201cbeyond what was agreed\u201d. <\/p>\n

According to the report, one of the women was \u201cenraged\u201d when one male in the room slapped her buttocks four times instead of the three slaps that had been agreed.<\/p>\n

All five players have denied criminal wrongdoing. The police investigation remains ongoing. No formal charges have been filed. No players have been formally interviewed by police, however, it has been reported police have concluded their interviews with the five players.<\/p>\n

\"'Of<\/p>\n

Code Sports revealed the complaint caused a commotion inside the room before one of the women was allegedly locked out of the room with barely any clothes on before 7am.<\/p>\n

As it has been widely reported the two exotic dancers, arranged through Party Girls Melbourne, were called after 4am and were seen in the hotel foyer speaking with hotel staff and Swans employees, including coach Dean Cox, before 7am \u2014 meaning the entire incident unfolded in a number of hours.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no suggestion Cox was inside the hotel room during the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

While the focus rightly remains on the allegation of sexual assault and the welfare of the woman who made the allegation, the impact of how the incident has rocked the football industry to its core cannot go unreported.<\/p>\n

In the days that followed, the Swans board of directors held an emergency meeting and quickly announced the sanctions \u2014 which had the support of the AFL and were \u201cunanimously\u201d supported by the rest of the playing group.<\/p>\n

The Swans still need to field a team to face North Melbourne at the SCG on Sunday, but for all the other parties involved, there will be no returning to normalcy any time soon. <\/p>\n

The five players will not be in attendance at the SCG on Sunday and their futures remain up in the air despite all having contracts covering the 2027 AFL season. <\/p>\n

That is just one of many shockwaves that are humming right now. <\/p>\n

Lawyers for the two women present inside the hotel room say they are preparing to launch civil action in the Common Law Division of the court and will claim damages for pain, suffering, psychological injury and economic loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are currently investigating the circumstances and preparing to commence legal proceedings against the club and potentially the individuals involved,\u201d Manny Carbone, a partner at Carbone Lawyers, told The Age on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur clients are extremely traumatised and feel that their dignity and personal rights have been seriously violated by the events of Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carbonne Lawyers Partner and Head of Personal Injury Law and Litigation John Karantzis earlier told 3AW\u2019s Tom Elliot he was shocked at what is alleged to have occurred. <\/p>\n

He said the women were subjected to \u201cdisgusting\u201d and \u201cabhorrent\u201d behaviour.<\/p>\n

News.com.au is not suggesting the claims of the lawyer are true, just that they are the allegations made on behalf of the women involved.<\/p>\n

One further bombshell dropped by Code Sports concerns the reputation of the Swans\u2019 senior men\u2019s playing group. <\/p>\n

The club has previously widely been viewed as a league leader in community work and its so-called clean-cut culture. <\/p>\n

However, Code Sports reports there have been rumblings for some time that Swans players have been \u201cpartying hard\u201d while enjoying their anonymity outside the Melbourne fish bowl. <\/p>\n

Cox said during his Friday press conference players do not have a curfew, but there is an understanding that players will \u201cmake the right choices\u201d during nights on the town. <\/p>\n

Code reports Swans players \u201chave a long leash\u201d when it comes to off-field partying and that figures in the footy landscape were not surprised Sydney players were found to have breached the club\u2019s behavioural standards in the hours leading up to the alleged sexual assault.<\/p>\n

As Swans captain Callum Mills and Cox said multiple times this week, it will be a long time and take a lot of work to pull the club\u2019s reputation out of the mud. <\/p>\n
