NRL player Dylan Brown has been nominated for The Frownlow Medal after being arrested for alleged sexual touching.
The Frownlow Medal is awarded to the player whose off-field demeanour epitomises the values of the modern-day footballer and draws attention to the status of footballers as role models to young Australians. It covers Australia’s four major football codes; the National Rugby League (NRL), Australian Football League (AFL), the A-League (Football) and Rugby Union’s Super Rugby competition. NRL player Shaun Kenny-Dowall won the inaugural medal in 2015, while NRL star Manase Fainu is the most recent recipient.
Brown was arrested in Sydney recently and was charged with sexually touching another person without consent. He was taken to a local police station and the matter is now being investigated.
The Parramatta and New Zealand playmaker earns his first nomination for The Frownlow Medal.
