Richmond name Nathan Broad as player at centre of photo scandal
   
By: Caroline Wilson

The AFL and Richmond have exposed Nathan Broad as the player who distributed the photograph of a topless woman without her permission on the night of the grand final.

Broad, who had known the woman previously and had told her he had deleted the photograph as soon as he had taken it at her request, faces a significant punishment to be announced shortly by club president Peggy O'Neal. O'Neal and Broad will make statements at 11am on Monday.

The decision comes after weeks of negotiations with the woman, who has been traumatised by the affair, and her family and legal team who had fought to preserve her anonymity and feared naming Broad could expose her due to their previous relationship.
The woman's lawyers Maurice Blackburn confirmed Broad, the 24-year-old defender who played in the premiership victory, had previously known the woman who "believed there was a level of trust between them".

"She maintains that she insisted he delete the photo from his mobile phone as soon as it was taken, and that he assured her it had been," a statement read.

"She was shocked and extremely confused when she saw the photo on social media the night after the grand final."

Broad had been holidaying in Bali as the investigation continued and initially had chosen not to return home. He has engaged his own legal team and was interviewed last week by the AFL's new integrity boss Tony Keane with Steve Wyatt handling the Tigers' part of the investigation.

The woman's lawyers added that her motivation for informing the police was in a bid to gain assistance in getting her image removed from the internet, rather than pursue a criminal investigation.

The AFL's integrity team, in conjunction with Richmond, is understood to have reached a decision on Broad's penalty late last week but have been working with Maurice Blackburn to ensure any public statements did not further traumatise the woman.

Both the league and Richmond have insisted her well-being remained the priority even above their determination to penalise Broad.
According to the Maurice Blackburn statement: "The unauthorised distribution of her photograph and the subsequent attention it has received has had a devastating impact on the young girl's well being.

"She is desperate to maintain her anonymity as she tries to get on with her life as best she can."
The full statement reads:
 
"There has been enormous media and public speculation about the situation in which the photograph was taken, the majority of which is not true and is unfair to our client who has done nothing wrong.
 
"She has not received any money or other compensation from the player, the Richmond Football Club or the AFL.
 
"We can confirm that the woman knew the player prior to the 2017 grand final and believed there was a level of trust between them. She maintains that she insisted he delete the photo from his mobile phone as soon as it was taken, and that he assured her it had been.
 
"She was shocked and extremely confused when she saw the photo on social media the night after the grand final. She approached the player and football club for help to getting it removed from the internet, but it soon became apparent that the image had gone 'viral'.
 
"Her motivation for approaching police was for assistance in getting the image deleted from wherever it had been uploaded, rather than pursuing a criminal investigation into the player's conduct. The latter was never her intention.
 
"The young woman's decision not to proceed with the police investigation was motivated by her desire to protect her identity and avoid any further attention and distress. Her main focus has been protecting her privacy, welfare and dignity as she tries to come to terms with what has happened.
 
"The unauthorised distribution of her photograph and the subsequent attention it has received has had a devastating impact on the young woman's wellbeing. She is desperate to maintain her anonymity as she tries to get on with her life as best she can.
 
"For that reason, we ask the media and public to immediately cease speculating about what happened, and urge everyone to respect the young woman and her family's privacy.
 
"We remind everyone that any further distribution and/or publication of the image could constitute a criminal offence. Similarly, identifying the young woman exposes them to the risk of civil legal action.
 
"Our client does not wish to make any further comments."

Didn't like the optics of getting up and walking out without taking questions. Can understand the need to move on quickly, but they could have played a dead bat to a few questions.

A dead bat to the questions can be just as disrespectful.

NATHAN Broad has been suspended for the first three home-and-away games of 2018 after being identified as the Richmond player who distributed a photo of a topless woman without her permission following the 2017 Grand Final.

Broad and president Peggy O'Neal fronted a news conference on Monday, where Richmond declared it would not allow Broad's actions to go unpunished.

The 24-year-old premiership defender was contrite, hoping that what he had done would stop others from doing the same.   

"I am ashamed and I am embarrassed. I made a very bad drunken decision … (and) I let down a young woman who I cared about,” Broad said. 

He urged everyone who had viewed the photo to delete it and not share it with anyone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Broad, 24, read a statement in front of the media at Punt Rd Oval on Monday flanked by Tigers president Peggy O’Neal.

“I take full responsibility for what I've done,” Broad said. “I sent a very private picture without this young woman’s consent.

“I’m ashamed, I’m embarrassed and I made a very bad drunken decision. Not only have I let down my family, my friends and the Richmond Football Club, most of all I let down a young woman, who I cared about. A young woman who I spent time with before the grand final and a young woman who I like and respect.”

“I’m deeply sorry for the heartache I caused this young woman and her family, it was never my intention to hurt her,” Broad continued. “By sending the picture I lied to her and broke her trust.

“This young woman deserves to have her privacy respected ... I’m the one who deserves to be punished, not this woman. She does not deserve any more pain.”

O’Neal said the woman “deserved better” and revealed Broad would be suspended by the club for the first three games of next season.

“We’re incredibly sorry for the distress Nathan’s actions have caused the young woman,” O’Neal said.
