Rugby star Kotoni Staggs has reportedly became the latest sports star to become the victim of ‘revenge porn’.
What The Sun describe as a “sensitive video” of the Brisbane Broncos star was allegedly released and distributed online. Staggs is clearly identifiable in the video.
The Broncos confirmed it, releasing a statement saying they are working with the NRL’s integrity unit.

“The video is of a highly personal nature and has been released without his consent,” the club said.
Police are looking into the video and the woman at the centre of it is reportedly being investigated.
“The woman who released the video… could face charges,” Garry tweeted.
“Kotoni is expected to be cleared.”
The non-consensual sharing of personal images online is a criminal offence in Australia and is considered image-based sexual abuse.
