Seven years of torment finally put to bed

AFTER seven long years, St George Illawarra star Jack Debelin has finally tasted justice.

Last week’s sentencing of the lead detective who oversaw the rape allegation case against him was convicted of perjury after lying to the court while giving evidence.

In this episode of Chiming In, Debelin speaks for the very first time.

He shares his fears and frustration throughout the trial process and the relief he felt when the charges were finally dismissed.

He talks about his love for the Dragons, his disappointment of not being offered a contract and his dreams of winning a premiership with his new club - Parramatta.
