Inglis charged over assault: report

Melbourne and Australian rugby league star Greg Inglis has been charged with
assaulting his girlfriend.
Victoria Police would not confirm Inglis as the charged man but said a 22-year-old
Altona Meadows man had been arrested about noon (AEST) on Monday.
"He was bailed to appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court on Wednesday on charges
of recklessly causing injury and unlawful assault," a Victoria Police spokeswoman
said.
The Herald Sun reported Inglis' girlfriend had been left with a black eye but the
police spokesperson would not confirm the nature of the alleged injuries or when and
where the alleged incident took place.
The NRL has been made aware of allegations against Inglis but is awaiting further
information from the NRL club before commenting.
The Storm did not immediately return phone calls from AAP.
The Seven Network reported the Melbourne Storm board was meeting on Monday night to
discuss the allegations.
It is yet another major blow to the NRL's credibility as Inglis had been one of two
stars for the code's major advertising campaign.
The Queensland Origin star and Manly's Brett Stewart were the faces of the campaign
filmed in the offseason, Inglis promoted to top billing in March when Stewart was
charged with sexual assault.
The NRL re-worked the $1.5 million campaign to remove Stewart from the advertising
and focus entirely on Inglis.
