Chris Lynn Sorry For Twitter Attack On Ben Te'o Accuser Queensland cricketer Chris Lynn has expressed his regret at a string of tweets aimed at the woman accusing rugby league star Ben Te'o of assault. Lynn took to Twitter late on Wednesday night to air his views before quickly deleting the offending posts. Brisbane woman Katie Lewis told Channel Nine, in an interview aired on Wednesday night, that Te'o struck her in the face, fracturing her eye socket, while they were at the Brisbane home of Broncos player Corey Norman last month. Tweet trouble: Chris Lynn playing for the Heat in the Big Bash League last season. "The girl accusing Ben Te'o is bad news," Lynn tweeted. He then agreed with a response from another Twitter user who said "She should serve 2 months in jail for her make up! #booyah." Lynn replied: "She definately (sic) should!." Lynn went on with a third post: "it does my head in ..." In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Lynn said he was sorry for his posts. "It was inappropriate to express my personal view on a forum like Twitter and I apologise whole-heartedly for that to the individual involved," Lynn said. Violence against women is not acceptable and I'm sorry that my words could been seen to condone that.

"But regardless we will now conduct a formal investigation and advise a course of action in due course," Powell said. We take such matters seriously and educate our players accordingly.
