## Resource

A former police officer and country football star faces four sexual assault charges from an incident in April 2022 — just days before she returned to the field. The Wedge Tailed Eagles, a newly formed women’s and gender-diverse inclusive club, learned of the allegations through media and is now investigating with legal guidance while she steps away from all club activities. The court case returns in November, and Victoria Police confirm she’s no longer with the force. This case highlights growing scrutiny over how grassroots football clubs handle abuse allegations — a tough moment for a team built on safety and inclusion.
