Carl Ditterich, a 79-year-old AFL Hall of Famer, has been committed to stand trial for historical child sexual abuse charges. He is accused of assaulting a girl under 16 in 1985. Ditterich faces three counts of indecent assault and one count of gross indecency, with a diary kept by the alleged victim being a key piece of evidence. The AFL will defer any decisions regarding his Hall of Fame status until the court proceedings conclude, with the next hearing set for November 18.
