A woman at the centre of the investigation into a group of Sydney Swans players has made a fresh allegation of sexual assault, and separately, multiple claims of sexual conduct without consent have been made.
The Age reports a new allegation has been made from the woman being represented by Jackson Pannam of Slater & Gordon, alleging she was the victim of “multiple sexual assaults”.

The outlet reports, based on sources close to the other two women in the matter, they have alleged to police they received conduct of a sexual nature beyond what was agreed to with multiple men.
The statements made by the women will form part of the police investigation. Victoria Police are currently investigating one report of a sexual assault.
Foxsports.com.au is not suggesting any of the men in the room engaged in the conduct alleged, only that it has been alleged.
The Age also reports a recording relating to the events at the hotel may exist, “after a person contacted the club (Sydney) claiming to have information that could be relevant to the investigation”.
The Swans then reportedly passed details of this potential recording to the police via the AFL.
Foxsports.com.au does not claim to know whether the recording exists or what information it may contain, and is only reporting that a person contacted Sydney about its existence with their details then referred to police.
The five Swans players are believed to have denied any criminal wrongdoing.
Fresh claims have emerged on Sunday regarding alleged incidents inside the Swans’ Pullman Hotel room.
It comes as an Isaac Heeney tell-all interview recorded prior to the events of Monday morning has reportedly been pulled from production.
Meanwhile, one of the Swans Five is already being linked with a move away from Sydney at season’s end, with a Carlton boss responding over his club’s potential interest.
The Swans, led by chairman Andrew Pridham, have launched a review into the events that led to the suspensions of Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, James Jordon and Riley Bice.
Sydney’s season spiralled into crisis in the early hours of Monday morning, with a post-match celebration in Melbourne ultimately triggering a Victoria Police investigation and the dramatic standing-down of the five players in question.
