Dane Swan naked video: Police investigate clip circulated online
A tape showing AFL star and Brownlow medallist Dane Swan in a naked romp with a woman has been circulated online and is under police investigation.
The video, which has been seen by The Age, features the former Collingwood star midfielder in bed with the woman.
While the kissing is clearly consensual and both parties seem aware that they are being filmed, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said the video was "posted without consent".
"Prahran police are investigating after a video was distributed electronically and online," spokeswoman Alex Day said.
"As the investigation is ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further."
Police declined to comment on who made the report to the authorities or whether both parties behind the camera had been formally interviewed.
Swan's manager Liam Pickering has been contacted for comment.
It's not the first time Swan has found himself at the centre of controversy over explicit images.
In January 2016, Collingwood was forced to address the distribution of nude 'selfies' of Swan and teammate Travis Cloke.
And in October, Richmond footballer Nathan Broad made a public apology after being outed as the player behind circulated images of a topless woman wearing a premiership medal.
The 24-year-old shared the image without the women’s permission and was subsequently suspended for three games.
At the time Broad urged anyone considering doing the same thing to remember that it was “never acceptable to send these sorts of private images without permission”.
In 2010, St Kilda was embroiled in a naked photo scandal after images of Nick Riewoldt, Zac Dawson and Nick Dal Santo were taken from a laptop and posted online.
