Penrith Panthers NRL utility Tyrone May will remain on bail after facing a Sydney court on charges of recording and distributing sexual acts without consent.
The 22-year-old’s case on Wednesday was adjourned to June 17 in Penrith Local Court by magistrate Geoffrey Hiatt, who formally disqualified himself from the matter “for the sake of fairness to all”.
Mr Hiatt revealed his father, John Hiatt, had previously served as the deputy chairman of the Penrith Panthers.
John Hiatt resigned as deputy chairman of the club in 2015. He had served on the Panthers board of directors since 2003 and was deputy chairman for six years
May was accompanied by manager Darryl Mather on Wednesday. The player remained silent as he left the Penrith court.
It was May’s first appearance since he was charged in March after handing himself in to police following the release of the sex tapes on the internet.
May was stood down at the time by Penrith under the NRL’s controversial “no fault” stand down policy for those facing serious criminal charges.
