Former AFL player agent Ricky Nixon has been arrested and then released "pending further investigation" after posting a photo of a small child with the caption "next fuck" on his Facebook, The Guardian reports.
Victoria Police confirmed a 52-year-old man was arrested in relation to alleged telecommunications offences.
It is believed Nixon posted the comment while arguing with a woman on Facebook about his tell-all book, My Side, which chronicles his fall from grace.
A woman was teasing NIxon for blocking her son when he responded by posting a picture of her granddaughter he had gotten from her Facebook with the comment "next fuck."
In 2010 and 2011 Nixon had a relationship with then 17-year-old school girl Kim Duthie and recently went to court against Duthie to defend the inclusion of the relationship in his book.
Following the court case, Nixon has been on social media attempting to promote his book.
