Star Parramatta five-eighth Dylan Brown has been charged with five counts of sexual touching over an alleged incident in Double Bay last night.
News Corp reports Brown was charged after a 20-year-old woman complained to staff at the Golden Sheaf.
In a brief statement, the Eels confirmed they are aware of the incident.
“The Parramatta Eels have been made aware of an incident involving Dylan Brown last night,” the statement said.
“The Club has advised the NRL integrity unit as per our normal process. As it is a police matter, the Club will not be making further comment at this time.”
The Eels have the bye this weekend.
It is understood the matter would not be subject to the NRL’s no-fault stand down policy, though the league or the Eels could choose to act regardless.
