NRL Players and family members in hot water

Where does it say the rented the whole joint?
Wouldn't have a clue where I read it, but it was stated in one of the articles that they rented out the whole area they were in, so it wasn't open to the "public". It wasn't free mixing with regular members of the public. They were never naked on the street, the worst thing that happened in public domain was a guy vomiting... Big whoop.

So if they did nothing wrong how and why are the police charging them? Or is there a new law I haven’t heard about ‘inciting the anger of the media even though you have done nothing wrong’ or ‘attempting to incite the anger of the media even though you have done nothing writing”

Because technically they were viewable to the public, which is what I said, the only reason they were charged was because journos went looking for something to pin on them.

Their behaviour, is literally the reason two players were charged with wilful and obscene exposure. The journos went looking for something that they could get a story out of, found it, made it national headlines, the police at that point have to act.

If you think that's fine, good for you. That's the equivalent of me taking a video of some guy smoking a joint in his balcony, and submitting it publicly, and the guy getting fined for that. Is that okay behaviour in your book? To go out there, with the sole intent of looking for misbehaviour to publicly report it when said behaviour does not affect the public in any way?

Not a single complaint from any member of the public. That's a significant point you seem to be ignoring.
 
Same reason you can get done walking around nude in your own house with the curtains open
 
There is, but it's nitpicking words at that point.

The claim (made by you I think?) was that they were naked in "public", they were not in public. It was private property, and they rented out the whole damn joint. That's by any definition private, viewable to the public if you go looking for it, sure. So is my shower if the Window is open and the house 50m up the street has a good enough lens.

Everyone over to broncospwn's house, stat :)
 
So this incident actually happened in May. But let's bring it up now to sabotage Souths season.

This stinks. Gotta help Ben Hunt in every way possible, so the fuckwit Sydney media can then post: "See Brisbane, you lost a great player...."

and if Souths had have dealt with it in may, instead of ignoring it, then the media would probably have never found out about it (as is seems she only went to them after being ignored by the club)

this has nothing to do with "helping Ben Hunt in every way possible", and everything to do with getting clicks (and Souths gave them a free kick in that respect)

The South Sydney Rabbitohs provide the following update regarding the investigation into claims made in today's media:
  1. The Club's general enquiry email address received emails from an anonymous email address on 27 and 31 May 2018 about alleged lewd behaviour by a player over social media. The emails did not identify the player allegedly involved, nor did they identify the person making the complaint.
  2. On 1 June, the Club replied through Football Operations and Player Wellbeing Manager Brock Schaefer confirming it would investigate the complaint, requesting further information regarding the alleged incident and asking for contact details for the person making the complaint.
  3. The Daily Telegraph contacted the Club on the afternoon of Thursday, 13 September stating the Club had failed to respond to emails dated 5 June and 31 August regarding alleged lewd player behaviour.
  4. Upon receipt of the information from The Daily Telegraph, the Club engaged an independent contractor to conduct an email system audit regarding the emails sent to Mr Schaefer on 5 June and 31 August. These emails, sent again from an anonymous address, were tagged as spam due to the sender's unique email address. As per the Club's junk email filter, these emails were subsequently routed to a junk mail folder and were not received or seen by Mr Schaefer.
  5. Upon discovery and review of the emails on 13 September, the Club attempted to contact the complainant via an international phone number provided in these emails, but it was no longer in service. Again, the emails did not identify the player allegedly involved, nor did they identify the person making the complaint.
  6. The Club contacted the person making the complaint again by email on 14 September 2018 and was provided with updated contact details by her.
  7. Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly has had a discussion with the person making the complaint this afternoon. Mr Solly gave her a commitment that the Club would undertake its investigation of the complaint with the utmost confidentiality and respect. The Club will deal with the complaint thoroughly and will move as quickly as it possibly can to conclude the investigation.
  8. The Rabbitohs have appointed a panel of Commissioner Lea Drake (Independent), Karyn Murphy (NRL Integrity Unit) Nick Pappas (Rabbitohs Chairman), Emily Grant (Rabbitohs Head of Operations, People and Culture) and Mr Solly to investigate the complaint. Drake is the current Law Enforcement Conduct Commissioner for Integrity.
  9. The above investigation will be undertaken in conjunction and co-operation with the NRL Integrity Unit.
  10. The findings of the investigation will be thorough and transparent.
 
The ol’ “it went to my spam folder”.
