UPDATE, 12:28 p.m.: Nets player Andray Blatche, who media reports identified as the player involved, reported on his Twitter feed just a few minutes ago: "Im ok and I didn't do anything jus was n the area when it happened."
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.”
Billy King did it. He already raped the sixers and set them back 10 years.— Tyrone Biggums- @masterncommander
No, that would be Bill Clinton and his husband Hillary— Dogkilla - Vick went to jail on tax evasion— Ganjaface
- Used to do security at the Four Seasons and all the NBA teams stayed there, and they do nothing but bring prostitutes in and out all damned night long. There's smoke here....someone just needs to locate the fire.— BosoxJohnny
- Had a buddy doing room service at the Ritz Carlton about 20 years ago..The Braves' Ron Gant (LF) NEVER answered the door with LESS than 2 girls in his room, and he used room service every night the Braves stayed there. — bearsfriend
- 2legit, What about Ray Lewis? What does he have to do with murder, rape or anything else? Are you aware that merely getting arrested is not proof that someone has committed a crime? Did you know that after the prosecutor reduced the charges and arranged for him to testify that no one was convicted in the trial? Ray Lewis was not accused or suspected of murder. The police thought they could use him to find the actual killer, but it didn't work... Why let the facts get in the way?— Getinline
- Ray was , at the very least, a witness to a double murder.
he was indicted on murder and aggravated-assault charges.
he admitted to lying to the police the day after the murder and he plead guilty to obstruction of justice.
he testified against his buddies.
they were acquitted.
he got 12 months probation from the court and a 250k fine from the NFL.
makes you wonder how long he would have been suspended for if Goodell was the commissioner back then.

You forgot to mention how he got rid of evidence by losing his blood stained clothes. You don't have to be the one holding the knife to be part of the guilty party.— superturtle - correct, and the prosecution agreed to reduce the charges for his testimony on the guys who actually killed someone. happens every day.
The guess here is Andray Blatche...........................did it.- The guess here is Andray Blatche...........................did it.
- hey Boston, how bout Ray Lewis
— 2legit2quit - TO or Rodman in town ?— NewMick314
- I bet he also said he wasn't him when:
On August 2, 2007, Blatche was charged with sexual solicitation in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. after allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover police officer. The solicitation charge was dropped after Blatche followed court orders and attended a day-long seminar for men who solicit prostitutes— passi0natephillyfan
