St Kilda footballer Stephen Milne has been charged with four counts of rape after a lengthy review saw Victoria Police overturn the results of the initial investigation following an incident which took place after the Saints pre-season 2004 Grand Final victory.
Police confirmed on Tuesday that the extensive review by the Sexual Crimes Squad found that the initial investigation had proved "substantially inadequate".
Milne, who has spoken in previous weeks about the toll upon his family due to sledging he has received from spectators during games referring to the incident, is believed to have learned on Monday that he was to be charged.
Milne and team-mate Leigh Montagna were investigated but not charged following sexual assault allegations following an incident involving two women on the night that followed the NAB Cup victory.
