NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo has described rape allegations levelled at a Queensland-based player as “very serious” and confirmed the league is working with a club on an investigation. The player, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has not yet been charged but was the subject of a formal complaint made to Queensland Police by a woman. “Obviously they’re very serious allegations,” Abdo said.
” If charged, the player would become subject to the league’s no-fault stand-down policy, which suspends any player charged with an offence that carries a possible prison term of at least 11 years. Under Queensland law, accused sex offenders cannot be named publicly until they have been charged, so the NRL likely cannot stand the player down until then for risk of identifying him publicly. “I can’t really comment on it until we know all the facts,” Abdo said.
