Detectives say the 26-year-old woman felt unwell after drinking a glass of orange juice.

She was led to a bedroom in the home and woke the next morning with injuries consistent with a sexual assault.

Up to 15 people attended the grand final party, which was not an official club sanctioned event.

The sex assault was reported to police in December 2018 and as part of the ongoing investigation.

Westgate Sexual Offence and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives want to speak to anyone who attended the party in September 2016.

Investigators believe those that were at the party will know who they are

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
