NRL player Dylan Brown is facing allegations he sexually touched a woman without her consent at a pub in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

The Parramatta Eels five-eighth was arrested at the Golden Sheaf in Double Bay after police were called to the venue about 11.40pm on Saturday.

NSW Police said officers arrested a 22-year-old man, who was taken to Waverley Police Station and charged with five counts of sexually touching another person without consent.

Brown was granted bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday.

A 20-year-old woman told staff at the venue about the alleged incident before police were called, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The pair did not previously know each other, the report said.

In a statement, the Eels said the club had been made aware of the matter and had advised the NRL integrity unit.

“As it is a police matter, the club will not be making further comment at this time,” it said.

Parramatta had a bye over the weekend due to the State of Origin split round and the team is scheduled to play the Bulldogs on June 12.

New Zealand-born Brown has played 95 games for the Eels since making his NRL debut with the team in 2019 at the age of 18.

He has scored 25 tries for the club, while he has also played five tests for New Zealand.
