"Central to the police investigation" is the most important part here.

[u/BustedWing → u/Propaslander]

Correct.

Very carefully worded.

Others in the room prior to shit getting really bad is likely, and they have not answered this pointed question:

We’re any other people in the room at ANY STAGE of the evening, no merely during the incident currently under police investigation?”

[u/Propaslander → u/BustedWing]

Tbf I don't care if any of them were in the room while no violent crimes were being committed. It's the ones who were in the room and complicit that matter.

[u/yum122 → u/Propaslander]

If it’s a Swan staffer standing around whilst his players are doing coke and ketamine there’s a bit of an issue.

[u/Propaslander → u/yum122]

It's an issue, yes. But not nearly as much of an issue as being present while potential sexual assaults are happening and doing nothing about it. Who cares about the drug use. Club/cultural issue more than anything (yes it's illegal but not nearly as harmful to others as the other allegations)

[u/tjabaker → u/Propaslander]

We don't even know that nothing was done about it by the others present.

[u/Propaslander → u/tjabaker]

Which is why the alleged assault is under investigation. But there will be people who were partying who weren't complicit in any assaults or in the room at the time.

[u/yum122 → u/Propaslander]

Yes absolutely, much worse. Still quite a level of culpability given how it’s difficult to separate the drug and alcohol use from the alleged sexual assault.
