Philadelphia Eagles' Agholor won't face sex assault charge

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Philadelphia's top prosecutor says no charges will be filed against Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor following an investigation into allegations of a sex assault at a strip club.

District Attorney Seth Williams said Monday there was insufficient evidence to warrant any charges.

Police had received an allegation that Agholor was involved in a sex assault June 9 at the Cheerleaders Gentlemen's Club.

The district attorney said a joint investigation was conducted by his office's sex assault unit and the police department's Special Victims Unit.

The 23-year-old Agholor played at Southern California and was a 2015 first-round draft pick for the Eagles.

His lawyer, Fortunato Perri Jr., says the investigation confirms what he said from the outset: that Agholor did not commit a crime.
