Two men on the NSW Mid North Coast have been charged after allegedly sending Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell racially abusive social media messages.
Detectives from the Fixated Persons Investigation Unit charged the 22-year-old Taree man and 25-year-old Luke Munmorah man today, after the Engagement and Hate Crime Unit and the Fixated Persons Investigation Unit launched inquiries earlier this week.
The NRL Integrity Unit had reported that one of its players had received numerous offensive and threatening social media messages - some of which were racially charged, NSW Police said in a statement on Friday.
