San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is being investigated in connection with a possible sexual assault earlier this month in Miami, according to a report.
TMZ Sports cites law enforcement sources saying the investigation is in its beginning stages. No charges have been filed.
Miami Police Department public information officer Rene Pimentel told USA Today the Special Victims Unit is looking into the allegations.
“There are no charges, definitely not. There is an investigation regarding an allegation,” Pimentel told the paper.
Miami police released an information report on what it termed a “suspicious incident” that also involves 49ers receiver Quinton Patton and Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette.
According to the report, the three players and an unnamed woman were drinking and smoking marijuana from a bong at Lockette’s apartment at the Viceroy Hotel on the evening of April 1.
The woman, who said she had a prior sexual relationship with Kaepernick, felt light-headed and went to lie down in a bedroom. According to the report, Kaepernick joined her in the bedroom and undressed her, but the two did not have sex. Patton and Lockette “peeked” into the bedroom and she told them to leave.
The report says the woman woke up in the hospital the next morning with no further memories from the night nor knowledge of how she arrived at the hospital.
“The 49ers organization is aware of the recent media report regarding Colin Kaepernick and is in the process of gathering the pertinent facts,” general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement released by the team.
Kaepernick, 26, led the 49ers to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season and lost in the NFC Championship game last season. He is entering the final season of his rookie contract and has had discussions with the team about a contract extension that could be worth in the neighborhood of $100 million.
