Mind you, if she's truly 18 or 19, I can't see why this is hugely newsworthy. I guess "starstruck teenager sleeps with footballer" is not sensational enough.

Re: The Saints are at it again, it seems...
It says she is a teenage school girl. The players say she said she was 18 and her facebook page says 19 - it doesn't say how old she actually is.
I bet Andrew Lovett is very interested in the Saints response.What should I tell her? She's going to ask. -
Re: The Saints are at it again, it seems...
So they met the girl at a school footy clinic,and thought she was 19 or 20!Gee horrible if this de-railed their seasonComment

Re: The Saints are at it again, it seems...
Tim Watson has just explained on SEN the story as he has been told:
* 2 players go to a school to speak to a group of 30 students (this girl is one of the students)
* Some weeks later said girl who lives with 27 girl old woman go to Sydney to watch St.Kilda play.
* Afterwards girl hooks up with one player and has consensual sex.
* Two weeks later she hooks up with another player.
* A few weeks later she has pregnancy test, tells her housemate, who then goes to the school.
* Principal rings education department, who in turn calls AFL & St.Kilda footy club.
* Players told about it, they say their side - state they thought the girl was 18 and have no re-collection of her from the school visit.Comment

You get the feeling there's plenty to come out of this story so it's going to be an interesting week, that's for sure.
Hopefully it reinforces to our blokes to concentrate on footy and do the right thing.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

I assume the players are 19 pr over, which is why the police would have been called in - as I understand it, "I thought she was 18" is not a valid legal defence in statatory rape cases.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: The Saints are at it again, it seems...
As mjp says Andrew Lovett wil be more than an interested observer, particularly his legal team if one or two players are charged.
I just hope the 3rd player isn't one of ours.[COLOR="Red"][B][U][COLOR="Blue"]85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse![/COLOR][/U][/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: The Saints are at it again, it seems...
There are really only 2 issues here.
Is she over 16?
Did the players give her their details at the clinic or did she instigate the meeting in Sydney without them knowing who she was?
If she is over 16 and the players did not instigate contact and did not know she was from the school, then this has nothing to do with the AFL.
If she is under 16 or the players did instigate contact, then they are in a whole lot of trouble and the AFL will be all over it.Comment

The whispers suggest a Collingwood player might also be involved.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment
