UPDATE: North Melbourne forward Majak Daw is free to play but the AFL has reserved the right to stand him down after he was charged with three counts of rape relating to an alleged sexual assault in Altona North in 2007.

Victoria Police detectives filed a charges summons at court on Monday and Daw is expected to be served with a summons today.

It is believed the charges relate to allegations of penile, oral and digital rape.

Fairfax Media reported earlier this month that Daw had been arrested and interviewed in May over the offences allegedly committed in 2007.
