Former Docker Ryan Crowley charged with assaulting MAFS star Lauren Dunn
Ex-Fremantle Dockers player Ryan Crowley has been arrested and charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend and former MAFS star Lauren Dunn at a Claremont property on Wednesday.
Police say they were called to the house at about 10.15am.
Crowley, 41, was charged with nine offences including aggravated assault, deprivation of liberty, making threats and impeding another person's breathing.
He was held in custody overnight and appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday afternoon wearing a grey hooded jumper and beige cargo pants.
During the hearing, the police prosecutor gave the magistrate some photographs of injuries sustained by Dunn allegedly at the hands of Crowley, saying they contained injuries to her wrist, the side of her body and the chest area, as well as 'fingers where nails had been ripped off'.
The court heard that multiple Family Violence Incident Reports (FVIR) had been made concerning the couple, whose relationship was described by Crowley's lawyer as 'quite turbulent'.
The court heard in one of the FVIR's Crowley alleged he was the victim of an assault, although the court was told that 'the majority' of them paint the 41-year-old as the perpetrator.
The court was told no charges or police orders had been made as a result of those reports and that Crowley had no criminal history, save for some minor traffic offences.
'They are untested allegations,' Crowley's lawyer told the court.

Lauren Dunn: Alleged DV victim of former Fremantle Docker Ryan Crowley thankful for police, positive messages
The former reality TV star who has accused ex-Fremantle Docker Ryan Crowley of serious domestic violence offences, has broken her silence for the first time since details of the horrific allegations surfaced. Lauren Dunn, who is an ambassador for Polished Man — a movement that aims to end violence against women and children in Australia — said she had been overwhelmed by the messages she had received over the past two days. Mr Crowley faced Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday accused of unleashing a torrent of abuse on Ms Dunn, a former Married At First Sight contestant, which included beating then choking her until she fell unconscious at a house in Claremont on Tuesday and Wednesday. The 41-year-old denies the charges with a duty lawyer telling the hearing his client disputed the severity of the allegations put before the court and the physical contact that was alleged. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Ms Dunn vowed to continue to advocate for changes to the way domestic violence was reported in the media in Australia and praised WA Police for how they dealt with her claims. 'This has ignited a fire in my belly to continue to use my voice as an advocate for others and to work to change the way Australian media reports on DV in Australia,' Ms Dunn wrote in statement posted to her Instagram account. 'I can say that WA Police have been nothing short of amazing. 'I felt empowered and strong and supported. I hope that (others) out there can read this, and it will give them confidence to go to police. I am doing well, I am OK and it's business as usual.' During Mr Crowley's bail application hearing, the court was told the pair had been in an on-and-off relationship for five years, between 2018 and 2023, that had been marred with allegations of domestic violence. It was revealed in court there were six prior incidents involving the pair between 2019 and 2020 where police had been called out regarding allegations of arguments and controlling behaviours including one claim that Mr Crowley was the alleged victim, however no charges were laid. Mr Crowley has been charged with a string of offences including aggravated assault causing bodily harm and is set to appear in court again in July.
