The Eagles confirmed Friday that they are aware of a police investigation into wide receiver Nelson Agholor, who reportedly has been accused of sexually assaulting a dancer at a Philadelphia strip club.
The Philadelphia Police Department did not name Agholor as a suspect but announced that the alleged assault took place Thursday afternoon at Cheerleaders Gentlemen's Club in South Philadelphia. Police said in a statement that an allegation was made "regarding a sexual assault and a member of the Philadelphia Eagles organization."
Philadelphia magazine, which reported the incident earlier Friday, identified Agholor as the Eagles player under investigation.
"We are aware of the police investigation involving Nelson Agholor," Derek Boyko, a spokesman for the Eagles, said in a statement. "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 has not been charged with a crime.
