Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is being investigated due to accusations of sexual assault according to David Gambacorta of Philadelphia Magazine.
An exotic dancer at Cheerleaders Gentleman’s Club told police that Agholor raped her inside the club on Thursday afternoon and Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross confirmed the department is investigating. Gambacorta reports at least two other Eagles players 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 issued a statement that they are aware of the investigation but have no further comment at this time.
Agholor was the team's first round draft choice in 2015 out of USC but had a disapointing and injury-riddled rookie season, catching only 23 passes for 283 yards and one touchdown in 13 games. He has been projected to be a starting wideout for the Eagles in 2016.
