Footage emerged on social media this week of the Tigers superstar appearing to grab the breast of a topless woman.
The woman is sitting on the lap of another man, before Martin appears to reach around and touch the woman, to laughter of others at the bar.
When the video was filmed remains unclear, but it is believed to be several years old.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick was asked about the vision on Wednesday but said he was not sure about anything to do with it.
An AFL spokesperson confirmed to AAP the league was aware of the video and would be seeking "further information".
The Tigers will face the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Thursday in an elimination final to open this year's finals series.
Martin has been named to play his first game since round 16 after struggling with hamstring issue.
Speculation continues to buzz about the three-time Norm Smith medallist's future at Punt Rd.
The 31-year-old has been constantly linked with a move to Sydney to finish off his AFL career outside of the footy fishbowl in Melbourne.
