The allegation that Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor sexually assaulted a woman at a Philadelphia strip club is the result of a dispute over money, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity because of the severity of the allegations.
A police spokesman said detectives are investigating. Agholor has not been charged with a crime.
The source told NJ Advance Media that Agholor and a dancer at Cheerleaders Gentlemen’s Club in South Philadelphia agreed to go to a private room for an hour on Thursday afternoon, but the dancer left shortly after the two entered the room.
The person with knowledge of the incident said Agholor had agreed to pay the woman $1,400 for their time in the private room, but the dancer left before the agreed upon time and Agholor paid her $800. The person said the dancer wanted the full amount.
The dancer left the bar, was picked up by a friend, and the person said she never informed management of the alleged rape.
According to the same source, multiple dancers have told management that Agholor did nothing wrong, including a dancer who was with another Eagles’ player throughout the night.
Jeff McLane reports Fletcher Cox and Connor Barwin were the other two Eagles players with Agholor, and Barwin left before the incident occurred.
