Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams announced Monday that charges will not be filed against Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor. Here’s his official statement.
The District Attorney’s Family Violence and Sexual Assault Unit and detectives from the Philadelphia Police Department’s Special Victims Unit thoroughly investigated the allegations of sexual assault against Nelson Agholor. As a result of this joint investigation, our staff and the Police reached the conclusion that we lacked sufficient evidence to bring charges against Mr. Agholor, therefore no charges will be filed.
Agholor was accused of sexually assaulting a dancer at Cheerleaders Gentlemen’s Club on June 9th and the subsequent investigation was sent to the District Attorney’s office. Various reports following the incident stated that Agholor claimed he was “set up.” Les Bowen reported late Thursday night that Agholor would not be charged in the incident.
The second-year wideout will report to Eagles Training Camp next Wednesday.
