[The AFL Player Spectator] New comment on Botched Rape Investigation - AFL Player Walks.
Greg has left a new comment on your post "Botched Rape Investigation - AFL Player Walks":
Yes, John Elliott has confirmed what was an open secret: AFL clubs have been paying off rape victims, often with amounts as low as $5,000. And, even more disturbingly, even when they had significant doubts about the player's conduct.
Thank God the AFL never got its proposed "rape tribunal" off the ground.
If you've been assaulted by an AFL footballer, go to the police. Please, do not try to sort it out with compo - these players need to know that they will be investigated and charged. Cases of gross incompetence or corruption like the above are the exception, not the norm.
