Yesterday reports came out that Nets’ Andray Blatche was being questioned in a sexual assault investigation and now more details have been released. Andray has already claimed his innocence in the rape case.
Report after the jump…
According to 6ABC:
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey says officers found a highly-intoxicated, incoherent 21-year-old woman who told authorities she’d been raped.
Sources say the woman was in hotel suite 663 with six men, friends of hers, including 26-year-old Brooklyn Nets forward Andray Blatche.
According to sources, Blatche met the alleged victim at Delilah’s gentlemen’s club on Spring Garden Street. They say she along with two other women went to the Four Seasons Hotel suite.
The suite was being rented by Blatche, whose one-year contract with the Nets became guarenteed just hours before the alleged incident.
The woman told investigators at least two of the men raped her and the others saw what was happening.
Sources tell Action News investigators found samples of the date rape drug in the suite.
Blatche and three others were questioned by police and released this morning; two, though, remain in custody.
The Nets forward told police while he was in the hotel suite, he was not in the same room where the sex was taking place.
But sources say investigators found Blatche’s cell phone with what they described as compromising pictures of the alleged victim.
Even so, Commissioner Ramsey says he was released without being charged.
“He was released and from early information that we have, he may not be a person that was even involved in terms of actually assaulting anyone,” Ramsey said.
During a morning practice at the Wells Fargo Center in preparation of the Nets’ game with the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday night, Blatche answered a few short questions from reporters.
“I don’t even know what to tell you what happened. I’m just here to play basketball; I’m focused on the game tonight,” Blatche said.
