Sunday Night will feature an interview with the parents of the “St. Kilda schoolgirl” this weekend as well as have the teenager undergo a lie detector test.

In an exclusive interview on Sunday Night, Tony and Susan speak out for the first time, solving many of the mysteries surrounding the AFL scandal and their 17 year-old daughter.

They tell Rahni Sadler that she was “perfect” until she met two players from the St Kilda football team last year. They say their daughter was well behaved at home, excelling at school and was a dedicated athlete competing at world championship level. It all fell apart, they claim, when at 16 she became obsessed with the two footballers. They describe their shame at her behaviour and shock at the lies she told. They now live with daily death threats.

As Ricky Nixon’s life continues to unravel there are new clues as to how this AFL powerhouse came undone. Yesterday the AFL refused to lift a two-year ban on Nixon, imposed after he admitted to inappropriate dealings with the school girl at the centre of the AFL nude photo scandal.

Now on Sunday Night, the teenager details her extraordinary plot to trap Nixon by luring him to her hotel room. So what really happened? At her suggestion, and with her parents’ consent, she sits a lie detector test… carried out by Australia’s leading polygraph expert.

The results were definitive, one person’s story was found to be true, with 98% accuracy. But whose?

It airs 6:30pm Sunday on Seven.

  1. I am so glad that 7 are finally covering this story properly. I have not been able to sleep with all the worry about these exemplary parents and their wonderful daughter. We are so lucky in this country that 7s flagship current affairs program continues to set the standard which all others seek to achieve. They really do deal with the major issues facing our nation and achieve a truly intellectual show that is easily accessible to everyone. We are so blessed and will be able to sleep safely at night now SN have sorted this one out.

  3. Two students in my school on Today Tonight in Perth talking about cheap ball dresses. This will air on April 20, nine days before the Royal Wedding. Shame on you Seven!!!!!!

  9. Sunday Night does great stories about inspiring people and people that have interesting stories to tell. But when the show trys to do these topical celeb stories it really doesn’t do the show justice. This kind of stuff should be put on TT.

  12. When Sunday night premiered, i quite liked it. Serious news programs with great in depth stories. But then they pulled in Molly Meldrum and Sonia Kruger to do stories and it lost all credibility and i stopped watching. Now it’s really sunk to Today Tonight levels.

  14. Tony: “if we say yes to the interview, we can finally have that cruise you’ve always wanted”
    Susan: “but darling, what about our reputation?”
    Tony: “Sweetheart, we lost that months ago. Let’s take the money and run!”
    Susan: “anything you think, darling. But who do we sell our souls to? The devil already has our daughter”
    Tony: “I’ll call Seven……..”

  15. My concern is that there is a younger sibling involved here and the parents don’t seem to be protecting her by airing their dirty laundry on tv.

    This scandal girl has told so many lies – it’s possible she believed some of these lies herself, and wouldn’t that also affect the lie detector results if she actually thought it was her reality?

  16. Having the parents is an interesting development and probably what will make viewers tune in… they have always been the unknown in a story that I really couldn’t give a toss about but yet I find myself commenting on 🙁

  18. This reminds me of The episode of South Park from a few years ago called “The Simpson’s did it”. South Park parodied themselves by saying no matter what they did, The Simpsons had done it first.

    In this case Sunday Night is just doing something 60 minutes did a month ago. 60 Minutes did it when the story was still hot, now it’s just dragged out and pathetic.

    I’d prefer my news on Ten, then on the garbage that is Seven.

  19. It’s only a matter of time before one of the networks sign her up for some shonky show (Australia’s Hottest Athlete?). She’s this year’s chk-chk-boom girl.

  20. So I wonder what the Sunday edition of ACA are feverishly going about trying to arrange to spoil this story? How about an interview with Ricky Nixon, and while they’re at it, get him to do re-enactments? Yeah, that would show those amateurs at 7 and their weak lie detector test!

  21. Huh… I thought the 60 minutes story covered all of this.. maybe Sunday Night are going to prove what she said on 60 minutes was a lie..

    A little too late on this story Sunday Night

  24. FFS. She’s had her 15 minutes in the spotlight. But then there is very little journalism in these shows, especially now they compete against “ACA Sunday”

  25. so she is just going to say what she already said on 60 minute. a bit slow aren’t we 7. everyone has moved on, 7 always brings stuff that no one cares about
