He wasn’t charged because the victim has to make a police statement. It is interesting that, according to the reports:
1.the victim approached the Bulldogs administration with the allegations. She was advised by Hasler and Greenberg to go to the police.
2.she expressed that she didn’t want the police involved, as she was concerned for the welfare of Barba and also for the potential adverse consequences to his football career.
This indicates that the girl wasn’t some football groupy or floozy looking to ruin him for a misdeed, but someone with some emotional ties to Barba. Given that Ainslie Currie is also the mother of his children, assuming she was the victim, she would probably also be worried about Barba being able to provide for his family, if his career was left in tatters.
If there was a cover-up as is being suggested, this will generate a lot of legal, ethical and moral quandaries for the Bulldogs and the NRL itself. All I can say is that the public relations departments of the club and the code are going to be earning their money over the next 6 months, with this and the ASADA scandal ready to explode.
But as time and countless scandals over the years have shown us, rugby league is a tough beast that is impossible to kill.
