Miami police say 49ers QB is being investigated for an alleged sexual assault:

If this is true, wow.
 
When are athletes going to learn that if you take liberties with your women in Florida, do it under the jurisdiction of the Tallahassee police?
 
He tends to get confused when he can't read get the first read on a woman.

And if the police report is true, he burned a timeout at a most inopportune juncture.

A little more information...

So she passed out in bed and they took her to the hospital?

I think waiting 24-36 hours to see if he is charged might be wise.

Who will be the first writer to discuss this topic while also mentioning Kapernick has tattoos?
 
Is there a single word alleging a sexual assault? One word? Because if not - and if this is just an incident report based off of someone's alcohol poisoning, some sort of SOP - then Colin Kaepernick should own both TMZ and Mike Florio when this is all said and done.

Where the hell is the actual incident report?

Terrible reporting.

Ann Killion of the San Francisco Chronicle. (She does not make a value judgment on the tattoos, though, only a reference to him as a "tattooed game-changer.")

Terrible reporting.

The actual incident report states the woman went into the room, started kissing Kaepernick, and somehow became naked before she passed out.

That's a helluva thing for a reporter to leave out.
 
Nope. Not a single mention of a sexual assault.

It sure sounds like, based on her own statement, that she was getting ready to bone Kaepernick, which she has done before, but perhaps was not all that interesting in boning anyone else. So the big mystery is whom (if anyone) she ended up boning. And I am sure police are looking for cell phone videos to answer that question.
 
Now if she said she felt like she had sex while she was blacked out, that's one thing, but I am not seeing that.

No arrests, no charges, but it involves an athlete, so it must be big news! Welcome back to your roots, TMZ.

I mean, considering it's SVU investigating "suspects," there's a pretty good chance that it might just be a poorly executed police report. But I wonder if she merely reports that she might have been drugged, and that's the investigation, not sexual assault.

I feel awful for Kaepernick. It's fairly evident he didn't do anything wrong, and TMZ made sure he's forevermore considered a rapist or suspected rapist.

I hope he owns them.

You can't seriously believe there is a case here. You know better than that.

I think there's enough of a case that it survives a Motion to Dismiss and he settles.
 
Miami Police PIO originally told USAT that it was a sexual assault investigation but has since "clarified" that.

I'd guess you're going to have an investigation 99 times out of 100 if a case involves a naked woman, a past intimate partner, alcohol-and-drug-feuled blackout, and a hospital visit.

That in no way implies anyone's guilt or innocence.

One might say this is a good illustration of why one should wait before rushing to press without adequate documentation.
