Police Investigate Rape Claim At Home Of Falcons Player

Posted: 3:13 pm EDT July 9, 2009Updated: 4:52 pm EDT July 9, 2009

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- Gwinnett County police are investigating a report of a sexual assault at the home of an Atlanta Falcons player.

A police representative told Channel 2 Action News that a woman told them she attended a party at the home of Falcons player Harry Douglas IV. The woman told authorities that during the course of the party, she became tired and went to sleep in one of the bedrooms. The woman said she was awoken by a man who was sexually assaulting her.

The alleged incident happened on Huddlestone Lane in Buford.

Police said the woman told them she went to another location and called 911 to report what happened. Police said they do not believe Douglas was involved nor had any knowledge of the incident.

Investigators said the victim was able to provide them with a possible suspect name. Investigators are currently looking for the suspect so that they can question him about the incident and allegations.
