Ryan Crowley, former Fremantle Dockers player, hit with more domestic violence charges against ex-partner
Former Fremantle Dockers player Ryan Crowley has appeared in a Perth court facing historical charges of assault, threatening to kill, and deprivation of liberty. Five of the six new offences relate to his former partner, and one count of deprivation of liberty is against another woman. It is the second time in less than two months Mr Crowley has appeared in court accused of multiple violent offences. All of those original charges were also against his former partner of five years. Mr Crowley was granted bail today by Magistrate Elizabeth Langdon despite the opposition of the police prosecution, which said he was a high risk of reoffending and due to his "propensity of violence towards the complainant". Bail was given on condition of a $40,000 surety and that he not contact either of the two women, he surrender his passport, not leave Western Australia, and report to police twice a week. His lawyer Mark Andrews told the court his client intended to plead not guilty to all the charges. Magistrate Langdon said she also granted bail because of the lengthy time it would take for the matters to get to trial, and because custody would be a greater ordeal for Mr Crowley due to his type one diabetes. But she warmed Mr Crowley if he was found guilty of all the charges he would face an immediate custodial sentence. In May, Mr Crowley had appeared in court in relation to different assault and deprivation of liberty charges. It was alleged at the time the 41-year-old choked and threatened a woman in the western Perth suburb of Claremont. In May, Mr Crowley was granted bail under strict conditions, which include reporting to police twice a week and not leaving the state. The new but historical charges he appeared in court for on Tuesday are one count of unlawful assault, and one count of threatening to kill, allegedly occurring in the Perth suburb of West Leederville on September 21, 2019. A further count of unlawful assault was from March 2020. He was also charged with intent to harm, deprivation of liberty and deprivation of liberty in circumstances of aggravation from March 2020. The first set of charges relating to the May court appearance included impeding the woman's breathing by applying pressure to her neck, making threats, unlawfully using a computer and deprivation of liberty in circumstances of aggravation. Mr Crowley played 188 games for the Dockers between 2003 and 2015, including the 2013 grand final which Fremantle lost to Hawthorn. He was later recruited by Essendon to help the club field a side while 34 of its players were suspended for the year, following its infamous supplements scandal. He was routinely used as a tagger, trying to limit the influence of the opposition's most dangerous midfielder. In 2015 he was suspended for 12 months by the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal after he tested positive to a "specified" substance the previous year. At a media conference, then Fremantle CEO Steve Rosich confirmed the substance was contained in a painkiller which had not been not prescribed by a Fremantle doctor. He is due back in court on November 11 in relation to all the charges.
