Eagles receiver Nelson Agholor under investigation for sexual assault
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is being investigated after an exotic dancer accused him of raping her.
Police sources told Philadelphia Magazine that a dancer at Cheerleaders Gentlemen’s Club accused Agholor of a sexual assault that allegedly took place on Thursday afternoon. Agholor was reportedly with two of his teammates at the time. An investigation is ongoing, and Agholor will reportedly be interviewed by investigators soon.
Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News spoke to a source close to Agholor who believes the receiver was set up.
Source close to situation, w/ties to Agholor, describes the situation to me as “a setup” and says he’s confident Agholor will be cleared.

Agholor was the Eagles’ first round draft choice in 2015 under Chip Kelly’s regime. Between that, an underwhelming rookie season, and now this, his future with Philadelphia may be in doubt.
