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.

Fuck this pos. Took him on my fantasy team last year and he didn't do shit. Hope they get him just for that. Could care less about the stripper thing. If you dance for dollars you lose the right to say no. Pretty sure that's the law.

Lawyer for Eagles' Nelson Agholor: 'He will not be charged with a crime'


Philadelphia defense attorney Fortunato Perri, Jr., who was retained by Nelson Agholor, said Friday that he does not expect his client to be charged following accusations of sexual assault made against the Eagles wide receiver, Matt Lombardo of NJ Advance Media reports. This according to a Philadelphia Magazine report.

"Nelson has not engaged in any criminal conduct," Perri wrote in an e-mail to Philadelphia Magazine late Friday afternoon. "We're confident that he will not be charged with a crime."

As Crossing Broad points out, Perri Jr. also represented one of the police officers involved in an alleged nightclub fight with Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy earlier this year in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Magazine was first to report the allegations, stemming from an incident taking place at approximately 3 p.m. Thursday following the Eagles' final minicamp practice at the NovaCare Complex.

According to a source said on the condition of anonymity, the sexual assault allegation is a result of a dispute over money.
