**BREAKING NEWS** Sydney Roosters star Shaun Kenny-Dowall has become the subject of an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) application, which was lodged overnight by his ex-partner, Jessica Peris. Story on 7 News at 6pm. STORY:http://yhoo.it/1J3QPGC

Peris, the daughter of former Olympian turned Federal senator Nova Peris, attended Maroubra Police Station late last night to apply for the AVO.

The pair split about three weeks ago, after living together in Sydney’s eastern beaches for 18 months.

“An investigation is under way following a number of allegations that were made to police. It would be inappropriate to comment further,” a spokeswoman for NSW Police said.

Sources have confirmed Peris and Kenny-Dowall have since been in negotiations about a financial settlement to mark their end of their de-facto relationship. Peris has a child from a previous relationship.

The Roosters were made aware of the discussions and officials had been advising Kenny-Dowall. It’s also believed the NRL had been made aware of the situation several weeks ago.

Kenny-Dowall has continued to take the field in that time and has been selected on the wing for Sunday’s clash against New Zealand at Allianz Stadium.

I'll be absolutely shattered and so disappointed in SKD if he's guilty, he's literally the last guy i'd expect something like this from. Let's hope for his and the Roosters sake he's not guilty.

Ouch.

Still, innocent until proven guilty. He deserves the benefit of the doubt.

[Thirteen]

Very disappointing if true. Seeing he has been charged he probably won't be playing for a while.
The last guy I'd expect to hear this about. Will have a big effect on our teams performance. His running from our own end and his quick play the balls are so important for the team.

Nothings been proved... yet. Lets just wait and see how this plays out before crucifying him.

He has 10 offences next to his name. For our sake and that woman's sake I hope he didn't do anything wrong. He doesn't seem like the bloke that will cause any harm to a woman. But doesn't look good. Idiot for getting into this position.
