Disgraced rugby league personality Matthew Johns has apologised to the woman at the centre of a sex scandal that has cost him his multi-million dollar career in television.
Johns was sacked by the Nine Network and quit his position as an assistant coach at the Melbourne Storm after being named as one of several Cronulla players involved in a group sex act involving a 19-year-old woman in Christchurch in New Zealand seven years ago.
The former Test star apologised for the "pain and embarrassment" he has caused the woman, but insists she was a "willing participant" in everything that occurred in the hotel room in 2002.....
Johns' future had been under a cloud since the ABC's Four Corners program aired allegations about his involvement in a 2002 group sex incident in New Zealand while he was playing for Cronulla.
Matthew Johns was a major personality for the Nine Network, as co-host of The Footy Show and commentator for live rugby league.
