Police dropped an examination concerning the episode at the lady's demand. Richmond has suspended Broad for three recreations in one year from now's season.

Expansive, 24, said he took "full duty".

"I sent an extremely private picture without this young lady's assent," he said at a question and answer session in Melbourne on Monday.

"I am embarrassed and I am humiliated and I settled on a terrible tipsy choice. Not just have I let down my family, my companions and the Richmond Football Club, however above all I let down a young lady who I thought about... who I preferred and regarded."

The picture demonstrated the lady wearing an emblem Broad had gotten after Richmond won the AFL Grand Final a month ago.


Broad read a prepared statement on Monday

In an announcement discharged by her legal counselor, the lady said she had been "stunned and amazingly befuddled" when she recognized the photograph on the web. She had been informed that the picture was erased.

"She moved toward the player and football club for help to getting it expelled from the web, yet it soon wound up plainly evident that the picture had gone 'viral'," law office Maurice Blackburn Lawyers said.

Richmond president Peggy O'Neal said Broad's activities were "totally unsatisfactory".

"We are extraordinarily sad for the trouble Nathan's activities have caused the young lady, who merited better," she said.
