After a public backlash, the post was deleted.

The woman at the centre of the sex scandal broke her silence on the weekend, revealing the post had forced her to relive the entire ordeal again.

“Definitely, there was a traumatic response,” she told the Sun-Herald. “I see my psychologist on regular occasions and I have to work through that. I had quite a lot of panic attacks, so with this coming back, it triggered that as well.

“I walk around in Penrith and everyone is looking at me because they know [it’s me in the video]. I’m walking around paranoid 24-7.”

The Panthers have apologised for the behaviour of Cleary and Crichton, who were photographed on social media acting in a disrespectful manner towards the NRL premiership trophy.

The sculpture of Norm Provan and Arthur Summons was damaged while in the care of the club, with the club ordered to pick up the repair costs. Provan, a league Immortal, died last week at the age of 89.

“The Notice alleges the Premiership Trophy was damaged at a Club Awards night and although not personally responsible for the damage, the players subsequently treated the Trophy in a manner which showed disrespect towards the individuals depicted in the iconic moment memorialised on the Trophy,” the NRL said in a statement.

In relation to the trophy incident, Panthers Group CEO Brian Fletcher said: “The Panthers players had no intention to show disrespect towards the trophy, Norm Provan or Arthur Summons, however they understand that’s how their actions may have been interpreted.

“Everyone at Panthers is well aware of the immense contributions Norm and Arthur made to our game and the high esteem in which they are held by everyone involved in Rugby League.

“On behalf of the club I sincerely apologise for any offence or distress this matter may have caused the Rugby League community and particularly the Provan and Summons families.”

NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo hinted at the prospect of sanctions when he labelled some of the celebratory shenanigans as “disappointing” and damaging to the game last week. However, several other incidents went unpunished.

May was also the subject of a separate probe, with the integrity unit investigating whether three men caught illegally crossing the Queensland border to watch the grand final had links to him and Cleary. No action is expected to be taken over that matter.

A video of star forward Viliame Kikau singing “glory, glory to South Sydney” also emerged, which the Rabbitohs privately felt was disrespectful.
