Police are investigating a report that a 21-year-old woman was raped overnight at the Four Seasons hotel in Center City.
The assault allegedly occurred about 3:30 a.m. in the posh hotel located at 18th and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. A woman was taken to the hospital for care, and special-victims investigators are questioning people.
A Brooklyn Nets player is among those police have questioned, but a police source said he appears to be a potential witness and not a suspect. The Nets are in town to play the 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center tonight. Brooklyn Nets General Manager Billy King said: "We are aware of the ongoing police investigation regarding a member of the Brooklyn Nets. We will have no further comment until the investigation has concluded. All of our players are available for tonight's game."
