Swan fury over sex tape leak

- ALEKS DEVIC

FORMER Magpies star Dane Swan (pictured) has lodged a complaint with police over a leaked sex video.

The 2010 premiershi­p player is understood to be furious after the video of a naked sex romp with a woman was circulated on social media.

Thousands of people around the world have viewed the video, with Swan identified in scores of online posts.

The former Collingwoo­d midfielder, who also won the Brownlow Medal in 2011, is understood to have made a complaint to police last night, saying the video was shared without his consent.

The tape had been doing the rounds for several days prior to being viewed widely on social media, with News Corp among the news organisati­ons to reject publishing any part of the footage.

It is unclear when the footage, showing the champion player in bed naked with a woman, was taken but it appears he may not have consented to it being filmed.

In a written response to News Corp questions, Victoria Police said: “Prahran police are investigat­ing after a video was distribute­d electronic­ally and online. The video was posted without consent. As the investigat­ion is ongoing it would be inappropri­ate to comment further.”

The video appears to have come into circulatio­n via social media.

The woman, Swan and his manager have been approached for comment.
