The New York Post broke the news this morning that Kerry Rhodes’ Morristown home was the scene of a possible rape on Friday night or early Saturday morning. The article details that Rhodes said through a statement with the Jets PR department that he is not a subject of the investigation. The 26-year-old Canadian woman filing the police report said she met Rhodes and another man at a Manhattan nightclub and returned to his Morristown townhouse where she was raped by two men.
A Jets spokesperson said the team is continuing to gather information on what happened that night.
UPDATED 9 p.m.: From the Jets—“The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office has stated that Kerry Rhodes is not the target of any criminal investigation. We refer all further questions regarding this investigation to the prosecutor’s office.”
And from the prosecuter’s office:
“Morris County Prosecutor Robert A. Bianchi stated:
This statement is to correct misleading media reports that Jets player Kerry Rhodes is the target of a criminal investigation, specifically rape, by Morris County law enforcement authorities. Mr. Rhodes is not the target of any criminal investigation. Rumors and media reports to the contrary are untrue. Information which is being reported through the media that Mr. Rhodes is the subject of a rape investigation is factually untrue and wholly inaccurate and has the capacity to unfairly damage the reputation of Mr. Rhodes.”

I hope this girl is OK, my first reaction is Kerry you need to be a little more selective with your friends, but now I’m concerned that there is a bit of a coverup, this ain’t good…
The NY Daily News better be writing an apology to Rhodes.
I agree with You Jane, just by following these guys for a short time on twitter they are always around bars, people and alcohol and who knows what else. The Only exception is Jay Feely who either twitters that he is golfing or tweeting about what color his kids shirts are… Figures a veteran Kicker
I’m far from being puritanical but we have seen a dreadful history of NFL players who just can’t stay out of trouble where Nightlife is concerned.
I’m glad to hear that Kerry wasn’t involved and I think it is unfair to label this as a “coverup.”
