Man arrested over alleged racial abuse of NBL star Montrezl Harrell
A man who allegedly racially abused NBL star Montrezl Harrell via social media has been charged following what authorities have described as the "first-ever successful arrest" for such an offence in Australian basketball. In a statement, Basketball Australia said the accused, a 37-year-old man from the Melbourne suburb of Huntingdale, was arrested by Victoria Police Wednesday last week. In October, Adelaide 36ers star Harrell posted on social media about racial abuse he had allegedly been subjected to by an anonymous account. The messages were sent directly to the former NBA player's social media account and Basketball Australia's integrity unit was notified of the incident. In a statement released on Friday, Basketball Australia (BA) said the unit had identified the alleged culprit and reported the matter to Victoria Police. BA said the accused had been charged "with using a carriage service to menace, harass and/or offend" and had been bailed to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates' Court on August 15. BA said it was the "first-ever successful arrest of a person in Australian basketball on charges of racially abusing an athlete via social media". "This is a landmark moment in strengthening the measures available to BA and the NBL, alongside legal authorities, to safeguard and protect athletes in all areas of public access," BA said in a statement. The 36ers confirmed the arrest involved alleged abuse against one of its players. "The Adelaide 36ers commend Victoria Police and Basketball Australia's Integrity Unit for their strong stance in pursuing this matter," it said in a statement.
