A footy star is one of two men accused of indecently assaulting a woman in a pub.

Zane Musgrove, 22, a recent recruit with the Wests Tigers in the NRL, and a man the same age were charged following a night out in Sydney's east on November 24.

A 22-year-old woman has alleged she was indecently assaulted by the two men at the Coogee Bay Hotel.

The woman reported the alleged incident to security at the venue before speaking to police.

Musgrove was arrested and charged with multiple offences including include assault with act of indecency and aggravated indecent assault at Maroubra Police Station on Wednesday.

A second man, 22, was arrested and charged on Thursday in relation to the alleged assault.

Both men were granted conditional bail and will face Waverley Local Court on January 23.

The Tigers released a statement on Friday, saying the NRL's integrity unit were informed of the matter.

'Wests Tigers takes its position in the community very seriously and will work with the NRL Integrity Unit and NSW Police on the allegations,' the statement said.

Only months after this effort went through the courts.

A Sydney magistrate has blasted South Sydney NRL player Zane Musgrove, saying he was "no different to a bus driver or anyone else" and should not receive special treatment, as he pleaded guilty to damaging property.

The 22-year-old rugby league player was convicted in the Downing Centre Local Court over an incident at a home in Zetland earlier this year in which he pulled a gate off its hinges following an argument with his girlfriend.

His solicitor Christopher Watson said his client "opened the gate in frustration" when his girlfriend told him to leave, after she had asked him to pick her up from a friend's place at 4:00am.

Magistrate Megan Greenwood accepted there was no physical violence towards his partner, but said it was "about power and control" and had "all the hallmarks of domestic violence".

"Your girlfriend didn't do what you wanted to do," she said.

When his defence lawyer, Mr Watson, told the court his client was a professional football player and a conviction could affect his career, Magistrate Greenwood said: "Why should a professional rugby league player get treated any different to a bus driver or anyone else in the community?"

Musgrove, who was fined $1,100 and ordered to pay $500 to fix the gate, also faced charges of domestic violence-related common assault and assault, but both charges were withdrawn by prosecutors before a hearing could begin.

In a statement, the Rabbitohs said it would review the judgement "very closely" to determine whether further sanctions are required.

"The Rabbitohs are keeping the NRL Integrity Unit informed throughout the ongoing process," it said.

An apprehended violence order lodged by police on behalf of his girlfriend Candice Melanie Heise was also withdrawn.

Magistrate Greenwood also said: "She [Heise] was entitled to yell at you to leave and you should have turned on your heels and left."

"There's the issue of specific deterrence to control your temper and there's a need for general deterrence for men in the community.

The court heard Musgrove had contacted the victim the day after the incident and had offered to pay for the damage caused.

"So far in your life you've made good choices," she told Musgrove.

"But the court can't impose two types of justice for sports people, and other types of justice for others."

Musgrove's lawyers have lodged an appeal which will be heard on November 7.

An NRL spokesman said the NRL would wait and see what happens with the court proceedings, which will take place on January 23.
Yet they were quick to act against Bulldogs players at Mad Monday.

NRL Integrity Unit can't get involved as Msugroves contract is not registered wit the NRL yet (LOL what a joke!!).

Indecent Assault is assault of a sexual nature. It can be anything from groping a sexual organ, to forced digital/oral penetration, to forced peentration (rape), and anything in between.

Act of indecency as well kinda sheds light on the incident a bit more.

For example (and I'm not saying this happened), but if he was blind drunk in a club, flopped his cock out and started wanking over some chick in middle of dance floor, before violating her or forcing himself on her.. that would result in both those charges.
Or flopping your cock out and trying to finger some chick on the dance floor.

Either way it's dirty sex pest stuff and if what's alleged is true, he needs to be removed from the game for life.

Slightly correcting my above post: Rape is now referred to as "Sexual Intercourse without consent" under NSW Criminal Law.

https://www.victimsservices.justice.nsw.gov.au/sexualassault/Pages/sexual_assault_victims.aspx

Indecent assault is unwanted touching of a person's body by another person. For example it can include kissing or inappropriate touching of a person's breasts, bottom or genitals.

Indecent assault is touching (or the threat to to touch) a person's body in a sexual manner without consent by another person. For example it can include unwanted touching of a person's breast, bottom or genitals.

Act of Indecency
is when a person does something of a sexual nature with or towards another person or makes the person do something of a sexual nature towards them. For example, it can include the offender masturbating in front of another person.

....

Sounds like a case of alcohol + NRL player + female + unwanted sexual attention = police charges.

A story we've heard many times before.

At least in reports they have referred to him and Coleman as ' former South Sydney player'. Normally unless you played for the Bulldogs it was a case of current such and such team player....

What goes on at Souths...gee they have had a heap of their blokes DV and other shall we say violent crimes........
