An investigation is underway into an accusation of sexual assault against Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor.
A dancer at Cheerleaders Gentleman’s Club told police that Agholor assaulted her inside the club on Thursday afternoon and Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross confirmed the department is investigating.
“There was an allegation made against one of the [Eagles] players of a sexual assault that was reported by one of the female dancers,” Ross said, via David Gambacorta of Philadelphia Magazine. “Our Special Victims Unit is actively running on the investigation.”
Gambacorta reports at least two other Eagles were at the club with Agholor on Thursday, the same day that the Eagles wrapped up their OTAs. Ross said police are trying to get video from the club and that they have been in touch with the Eagles. The team also released a statement on Friday.
“We are aware of the police investigation involving Nelson Agholor. The organization has been in contact with Nelson and with the proper authorities in Philadelphia. Because of the legal nature of this matter, we will have no further comment.”
Agholor is expected to be interviewed by police soon as part of the investigation.
