SYDNEY — A player with popular Australian Rules club St Kilda was Tuesday charged with four counts of rape after police overturned their results from an earlier investigation. “Victoria Police can confirm that it has today charged a 33-year-old man from Cheltenham with four counts of rape following an alleged incident in 2004,” police said in a statement. Media widely named the man as Stephen Milne, who has previously protested his innocence. Police said the decision to lay charges followed a review of the initial investigation. “It is a matter of regret that this review found the initial investigation to have been substantially inadequate,” said police.
