The Australian sports control dog has referred three cases to police following a complaints process sparked by sexual abuse allegations by Vanna’s unconditional Matildas Lisa.
The watchdog, Sport Integrity Australia (SIA), is also investigating two complaints.
De Vanna, in October last year, made public allegations of harassment, abuse and sexual harassment between people of the same sex during her 150-match international career.
His former W-League teammate and hardcore Rhali Dobson also alleged that he was the target of sexual harassment in his career.

Football Australia (FA) has set up an independent complaints process, run by SIA, to handle any complaints.
The trial received 27 complaints: nine complaints from individuals directly affected by alleged abuse and 18 complaints from witnesses not directly affected.
SIA said Thursday it was investigating two of the complaints and the remaining 25 submissions were considered outside the scope of the process.
But three of those batches of 25 communications have been sent to law enforcement because they contained information that could justify a criminal investigation, SIA said.
SIA requested submissions on allegations of misconduct and sexual abuse, school bullying, child abuse and harassment.
The grievance process was limited to the national football programs of Australia, including the Socceroos and Matildas, and the A-League competitions for men, women and youth.
SIA Executive Director David Sharpe said 25 communications were considered out of reach for reasons as the complaints were not made at the national level but at the community level.
Other matters were beyond their reach because they were not related to prohibited conduct or communications were made anonymously.
“While we received a number of out-of-reach communications, Sport Integrity Australia assessed each submission and helped complainants connect with alternative options or contact the appropriate body, as long as it was possible, which could handle the complaint, “he said in a statement. .
SIA did not comment further as FA, in a statement, said it continued to support the confidential and ongoing process.
“While the (process) and subsequent investigations are ongoing, Football Australia cannot provide any further comment on the process or related issues at this time,” the statement said.
