Sydney Swans player Jordon on holiday months after assault claims

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 07:39 · Archive

Sydney Swans player James Jordon has been photographed on holiday in America nearly two months after allegations of sexual assault.

Sydney Swans player James Jordon and his long-term girlfriend Emily Twycross have been photographed on holiday in Texas almost two months after an incident at the Pullman Hotel in August. The 25-year-old and Twycross were pictured alongside Swans star Tom Papley and Isaac Heeney's fiancée Steffie Waters, with Twycross resting her head on Jordon's shoulder.

Jordon is one of five Sydney Swans players — including Heeney, Chad Warner, Riley Bice and Nick Blakey — who were suspended after partying into the early hours of 17 August with exotic dancers. The hired dancers claim the AFL players sexually assaulted them. The players have maintained their innocence, no charges have been laid, and Victoria Police has confirmed the investigation remains ongoing.

Jordon has kept a low profile since the incident, not posting on social media since the scandal broke. The players returned to the club on 23 September after the Swans' 2026 season ended, and addressed the playing group for the first time. Nick Blakey is the only one of the five to have left the club, being traded to North Melbourne. On his exit, Blakey said he was sorry for what occurred and acknowledged he must 'win back the trust of the broader community, football and otherwise'.
