The allegation that Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor sexually assaulted a woman at a Philadelphia strip club is the result of a dispute over money, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity because of the severity of the allegations.

A police spokesman said detectives are investigating. Agholor has not been charged with a crime.

The source told NJ Advance Media that Agholor and a dancer at Cheerleaders Gentlemen's Club in South Philadelphia agreed to go to a private room for an hour on Thursday afternoon, but the dancer left shortly after the two entered the room.

The person with knowledge of the incident said Agholor had agreed to pay the woman $1,400 for their time in the private room, but the dancer left before the agreed upon time and Agholor paid her $800. The person said the dancer wanted the full amount.

The dancer left the bar, was picked up by a friend, and the person said she never informed management of the alleged rape.

According to the same source, multiple dancers have told management that Agholor did nothing wrong, including a dancer who was with another Eagles' player throughout the night.

Philadelphia Magazine reported that the owner of the club, John Meehan, said he wasn't there Thursday. According to the report, Marc Raspanti, the attorney for the club, said Meehan was aware of the allegations.

While there were two Eagles players at the club in addition to Agholor, one left before Agholor and the dancer went into the private room, the person said.

Agholor is no longer in Philadelphia. As of Friday morning, he returned to Florida. Agholor went to high school in Tampa.

"There was an allegation made against one of the [Eagles] players of a sexual assault that was reported by one of the female dancers," said Police Commissioner Richard Ross to Philadelphia Magazine. "Our Special Victims Unit is actively running on the investigation."

The Eagles have been made aware of the accusation and released a statement on Friday:

"We are aware of the police investigation involving Nelson Agholor. The organization has been in contact with Nelson and with the proper authorities in Philadelphia. Because of the legal nature of this matter, we will have no further comment."

The team ended a three-day minicamp on Thursday, and players are not required to return to the team facility until the beginning of training camp in late July.

Agholor, 23, was born in Nigeria, and moved to the United States at the age of 5. He was drafted 20th overall by the Eagles in 2015.

Prior to practice Thursday, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was asked what his message was to players about the next six weeks, when they will be away from the practice facility.

"It's just to get away, enjoy their families," Pederson said, "enjoy the time off, kind of rejuvenate the batteries a little bit, recharge and come ready for a tough, physical training camp."
