Personal life
On 19 January 2012, Dunk was one of five Brighton players who were arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.[8] He was found not guilty of voyeurism in a trial at the Old Bailey in February 2013, though the jury failed to reach a verdict on a charge of sexual assault.[9] A retrial began in May 2013,[10] meaning Dunk would likely miss the play−off semi finals.[11]
