Geelong midfielder Tanner Bruhn has been questioned by police about his knowledge of an alleged sexual assault.
The alleged incident occurred in Belmont, Geelong, on February 5, 2023.
Bruhn, along with another man, spoke to detectives from the Sexual Crimes and Child Abuse Investigation Team at Geelong police station last Thursday.
Following the interview, Victoria Police confirmed that the two men were not arrested and were released pending further investigation.
“Police interviewed two men as part of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault in February 2023,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said.
The AFL is aware of the investigation.
“As this is a Victoria Police investigation, we are not in a position to comment further at this time,” AFL spokesperson Jay Allen told News Corp.
Young Geelong star Tanner Bruhn has been questioned by police about his knowledge of an alleged sexual assault.
Bruhn is currently preparing for an end-of-season trip with fellow AFL stars Jack Ginnivan and Jye Caldwell.
Bruhn’s football journey began at Newtown and Chilwell Football Club before moving to Geelong Grammar School and Geelong Falcons.
Drafted by the Greater Western Sydney (GWS) Giants in 2020, Bruhn was traded to the Geelong Cats at his request ahead of the 2023 season.
Since joining the Cats, Bruhn has played 36 games, including the final.
Despite a season marred by shoulder and wrist injuries, Bruhn was happy to be involved in big games at Geelong.
“These are always the games you want to be a part of,” he said after the Cats crashed out of the 2024 AFL finals.
Bruhn is currently preparing for an off-season trip to the United States with other AFL players including Jack Ginnivan and Jye Caldwell.
The group plans to begin their five-week vacation in Miami.
This trip comes after Geelong’s season concluded following their preliminary final loss to the Lions.
