PHILADELPHIA _Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor will not be charged in the alleged sexual assault of an exotic dancer at a South Philadelphia strip club last month, prosecutors said Monday.
District Attorney Seth Williams said in a statement: "Our staff and the police reached the conclusion that we lacked sufficient evidence to bring charges against Mr. Agholor." He offered no further explanation.
Agholor's lawyer, Fortunato N. Perri Jr., said Monday that he believed the district attorney and Philadelphia police had conducted a "full and exhaustive" investigation.
"We said from the outset that Nelson didn't commit a crime, and the result of the investigation now confirms the same conclusion," Perri said.
Police began investigating Agholor, 23, in June after a dancer at Cheerleaders Gentlemen's Club accused him of sexually assaulting her at the establishment. The alleged incident occurred around 3 p.m. on June 9, about two hours after the Eagles' three-day minicamp ended.
Agholor was the Eagles' first-round draft pick in 2015.
