Ex-Docker Ryan Crowley has been accused of further domestic violence against his former partner, Married at First Sight star Lauren Dunn, who claims she is being trolled online for speaking out about the alleged abuse.

Crowley, 41, was arrested at a Perth police station on Monday and appeared in Perth Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, dressed in a dark grey suit jacket and checkered green shirt.

He has been charged with six historical offences dating back to 2019 and 2020 in West Leederville and Cottesloe, including two counts of unlawful assault, two counts of deprivation of liberty, threats to kill and with intent to harm and doing an act that caused bodily harm.

The charges relate to his alleged abuse of Dunn, except for one which was against a separate woman.

He is also facing nine other domestic violence allegations from a 2025 incident also allegedly involving Dunn, which he is on bail for.

The former tagger was granted bail for the most recent charges, despite the police prosecutor requesting he remains in custody.

The prosecution alleged Dunn had been trolled and called a “psycho” by some on social media, and had recently been contacted by a person who claimed they had seen videos that had allegedly shown her in compromising situations.

They emphasised they had not tested the validity of the allegation.

The court heard the pair’s relationship, which occurred between 2018 and 2023, was “toxic and volatile” and Dunn had fled back to New South Wales, however she often has to return to WA for work.

Crowley’s defence lawyer said there had been no attempted contact with the complainant, and Crowley’s type one diabetes made any custodial arrangement difficult.

Magistrate Elizabeth Langdon granted bail with a number of conditions, including a $40,000 surety.

She said she was satisfied it was appropriate to give Crowley bail due to his health, and placed a number of other conditions on him including mandatory reporting, surrendering his passport and not contacting any witnesses associated with the case.

Crowley’s lawyer said he intended to plead not guilty to all the charges, and it was likely the case would get to trial in two years’ time.

Last year, Dunn appeared on reality television show Married at First Sight on Nine, which is the owner of this masthead.

She has since started a successful podcast and built a significant social media presence, where she has previously spoken about the alleged abuse.

Dunn most recently posted a video purporting to be of an ex-boyfriend verbally abusing her on a phone call and an allegation an ex-boyfriend had shared n*d* videos of her without her permission.

Crowley played for the Dockers between 2003 and 2015, but was banned for 12 months after he tested positive for a banned substance.

He was delisted before playing out his career at Essendon for a single season.

He is due back in court on November 11.
