Alleged Sexual Assault on Australian Big Brother

Written by Dan Wooton | 03 July 2006 | in news - TV | Print |

Endemol is embroiled in another Big Brother scandal after an alleged sexual assault took place in the Australian house, resulting in police questioning and calls from senior MPs for the show to be axed.

Producers unexpectedly removed two male contestants from the house on Saturday morning following a "serious incident" which took place at around 4am Australian time and was broadcast live on Network Ten's website.

Endemol has since refused to release details of what took place but the alleged assault is believed to have involved a 22-year-old female contestant who was temporarily released from the studio compound on Australia's Gold Coast to be interviewed by Queensland police. Police also reviewed the footage but said that because no formal complaint had been made a criminal investigation was unable to proceed due to insufficient evidence.

Endemol released a brief statement saying the contestants had been removed from the show because of a "breach of the rules". It has banned discussion of the incident on the Big Brother website and footage of the event will not screen on Network Ten.

i fully support the actions of ash and john. i think it is stupid how they were evicted and i will be writing to big brother himself about it. both of those were my favourite housemates and now because of this eviction i will no longer watch big brother. sorry you have lost 1 viewer and possibly more.

Friggen hell, this whole thing was handled in the wrong way...

kids were in no danger of seeing this footage as to see it you had to of had a credit card and paid for big brother on the website and you must of been over 18, they also had to be awake at 4:17 in the morning (i think) to view it!

Stupid people wanting the TV show pulled off when this didnt even occur on TV?

Channel 10 is the best channel on aus tv, it is very respectable. They did the right thing in not showing the footage and not talking about it.

All ashley did was something stupid, like friend stupid. BB should of just called camilla into the diary room to say she doesnt wanna press charges and then everything would of been fine.

Anyone who thinks less of channel 10, big brother (TV Show) or camilla should be ashamed.
