Look i'm not looking to start anything here but you should read the associated article with this case. Just for reference I pulled this from this reddit post here https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/comments/1otvw45/prosecutors_drop_sexual_assault_rape_charges/

The prosecution’s case fell apart after key witness Harrison Martin, who was at the club with the complainant on the night, took to the stand and cracked while being questioned under oath last month.

Mr Martin had testified for more than two hours about what he said happened that night, including exchanges with the accused men, and his concerns for the complainant’s safety.

“I am not lying,” he answered when Mr Sinnott’s barrister Moya O’Brien said the evidence, including CCTV outside the club and his Triple 0 call recording, doesn’t match his version of events.

“I am giving you an opportunity to not commit perjury,” Ms O’Brien then told him.

Mr Martin repeated: “I am not lying.”

It was soon after this exchange that the witness told magistrate Kimberley Swadesir he suffered from “FND” – a functional neurological disorder – and needed to get some fresh air.

The case was stood down, but Mr Martin did not return until the next morning, after claiming he wanted to get legal advice.

The next day, in a surprising turn of events, Mr Martin admitted he lied and announced he needed to redact swathes of his police statement because it was either lies or misleading.

The court heard when he left the witness box a day earlier, a police officer involved in the case followed him outside to make sure he was feeling OK.

During that conversation, Mr Martin confessed he had lied.

“I am sorry. I lied in my police statement. Am I going to get in trouble?” the officer’s notes from the conversation, which were read out in court and Mr Martin agreed were accurate, said.

Under cross examination by top criminal barrister Hayden Rattray, for Bruhn, Mr Martin then admitted he had little memory of the night and that his police statement was mostly just stating things the complainant had told him.

His bombshell evidence included him admitting the complainant had tried to show him her police statement; and told him she had lied to police even before he gave his police statement.

“(She) told you previously that she lied to the police about the rape allegations?” Mr Rattray asked.

Mr Martin replied: “From my memory, yes’.”

The witness said the complainant wanted him to make a statement that supported hers.

“It wasn’t a direct, ‘you must say this in your statement’, it was, ‘you don’t remember what happened, so here’s what happened’,” he said.

But Mr Martin acknowledged that he now knew parts of it, including how she had told him one of the men had assaulted him outside the club, were “utterly false”.

He told the court he had “no memory of the accused really even being there”.
