The alleged victim in the scandal that has engulfed the Sydney Swans has spoken for the first time.
Sydney on Wednesday announced it wouldn’t consider Riley Bice, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, James Jordon or Chad Warner for AFL selection for the rest of the 2026 season after breaching the club’s behavioural standards.

It follows an alleged incident at the Pullman hotel in East Melbourne on Monday morning, which is now the subject of a Victoria Police sexual assault investigation.
The woman who has alleged she was sexually assaulted spoke with Code Sports and said there were nine men in the hotel room over the course of the night.
She did not recognise them, because she lives interstate, and says she gave them a discount because they claimed they were tradies.
“I don’t want money. All I care about is justice,” she told Code Sports.
“I’m going to stand up for what is right. And I’m never going to let this happen to anyone else. Justice will be served.
“I care about women’s rights and what’s right, because this happens too often to women and they get away with it.”
She explained: “We did the show for less money than normal because we thought they were carpenters.

The ABC says police sources allege an “arrangement was reached … to pay extra to take drugs, believed to be cocaine, from the women’s breasts and buttocks”.
Seven says woman who took the booking now “fears for her life” having been identified online.
“I’m so scared … this is so dangerous for our safety,” she said.
It’s not suggested the Swans players were responsible for the drugs being there or they took them, only that they were there.
