Ex-AFL player Ricky Henderson sues Fox Sports, AFL over genitals exposure
Former professional footballer Ricky Henderson is suing the AFL and Fox Sports for more than $1.2 million in damages over an incident in which "compromising footage" of him was aired on live television in 2013.
Former Adelaide Crows footballer Ricky Henderson is seeking over $1.2 million in damages from the AFL and Fox Sports following a 2013 incident where compromising footage of him was broadcast live on television. Henderson alleges that the incident caused him extreme embarrassment, mental illness, and various psychological issues, including acute and chronic post-traumatic stress disorder, low mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and nightmares.
Fox Sports and the AFL both deny Henderson's claims, stating that the footage was captured in a public area, not a changing room, and that the player was well aware of the fixed cameras monitoring the area. The court case is set to resume later this month.
