AFL star Jordan De Goey and co-accused front court over indecent assault allegations
Collingwood star Jordan De Goey has faced court over an indecent assault allegation, with his co-accused now revealed.
In 2018 De Goey took Jake Edginton as his date to the 2018 Brownlow Medal, but today the friends appeared in front of a magistrate via video link.
The two men vowed to defend themselves against allegations that they both sexually violated a woman six years ago.

The woman says De Goey and Mr Edginton indecently assaulted her at a location in Kew on June 21, 2015.
Collingwood had a bye that round.
What allegedly unfolded between the trio remains unknown.
The men were charged last year. The complainant did an interview with the AFL's head of integrity Tony Keane.
De Goey's defence team has applied for a copy of that video.
The men will now face a three-day contested hearing on August 9, just days before Collingwood are due to take on the Brisbane Lions in round 22.

The central issue in the case involves a factual dispute.
De Goey's lawyers say he does not accept the police summary of events.
Six witnesses will be called to give evidence and a magistrate will then decide if the two men are guilty, or not guilty, of indecent assault.
De Goey is also due to face court next month on unrelated driving charges.
