Penrith Panthers NRL player Tyrone May has formally admitted recording four sex tapes without the consent of the women in them – including two shot during a group sex session which involved a teammate.

With coach Ivan Cleary watching from the public gallery, the 23-year-old sat in Parramatta Local Court on Friday as guilty pleas were entered on his behalf to four charges of intentionally recording an intimate image without consent.

Four charges related to the videos’ distribution were withdrawn.

Two of the videos were recorded in a Best Western motel in Coffs Harbour in February, 2018, when May met a Tinder date and had consensual sex.

The second pair of videos were shot in May, 2018, when a woman May met on Facebook joined him, reserve grade player Liam Coleman and an unidentified man in an apartment in Kingswood. The quartet later engaged in consensual sex.

Agreed facts tendered in court state both women never consented to videos being recorded and had no idea any had been recorded until March, 2019, when the videos surfaced in media reports.

May was arrested and charged two days after the woman in the Kingswood unit videos formally reported the crimes to police.

He hasn’t played NRL since, having become one of the first players stood down under the NRL’s “no fault” stand-down rule.

May, who had been earmarked as a long-term prospect for the Panthers, played 19 NRL games for the club between 2017 and 2018. He also has made one Test appearance for Samoa.

May is due to return to court on January 31 for sentence.
