New York Giants defensive tackle Jay Bromley is being investigated by New York police after a woman said he tried to rape her before hitting her with his car while she ran away, according to ESPN.
The New York Daily News reported that Bromley and the woman chatted online before agreeing to meet at a Manhattan hotel, where the alleged incident took place.
“We are aware of the situation and will continue to monitor it,” the Giants said in a statement. “We have notified the league office per the league’s protocol. We will have no further comment as we understand this is an ongoing investigation.”
No charges have been filed yet and the investigation is still in its preliminary stages, but this doesn’t look good under any circumstances. A rape accusation is hard to erase even if no charges are filed and given how hard a stance the NFL has taken on violence against women, Bromley could soon find himself in some incredibly hot water.
