Salt Lake City police unsealed a report alleging that several members of the Portland Trail Blazers had sex with two 16-year-old girls who attended a party at the team’s hotel.
“There was a party and these girls attended that party--that much we know,” police Lt. Marty Vuyk said. “What transpired after that is what is under investigation.”
One of the girls told investigators she had sex with “four or five players,” and the other girl said she had sex with three. A third girl, 15, said she did not have sex, was “very frightened,” and witnessed some of the incident.
No charges had been filed by Tuesday afternoon, and Vuyk said he didn’t know whether any would be.
The police report, parts of which were blacked out to withhold the identities of the girls and results of hospital examinations, mentions the first names of seven men, six of which correspond to the first names of Portland players.
The Trail Blazers were in town to play the Utah Jazz Sunday.
Chartese Berry, assistant director of media relations for the NBA, said the league had no comment on the investigation.
