According to the Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph, the alleged victim of all offences was his fiancee, Kara Childerhouse.

“The club has reported the matter to the NRL Integrity Unit and is currently working with them,” the statement said.
“The club is not in a position to comment further at this stage.”
Lichaa was released from hospital on Sunday and taken to Kogarah police station, where he was charged with the offences.
He was granted conditional bail and will appear at Sutherland Local Court on Wednesday.
Mr Lichaa played the last of his five seasons with the Bulldogs in 2019 after joining the club in 2015 from Cronulla.
Inquiries into the incident continue.
