Police investigate reported rape at home of former Falcons' star
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, GA - 4 hours ago
ATLANTA - Police are investigating a woman's claims she was raped at the home of former Atlanta Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney.

Kerney, who recently signed with the Seattle Seahawks, was not a suspect in the assault, which reportedly took place early Sunday.

The 29-year-old woman told police she and some friends were at a bar in Atlanta's trendy Buckhead area and accepted a ride home from three men, Atlanta's WSB-TV reported Monday. Once back at Kerney's home, the men were invited inside for drinks.

The woman reportedly told police she fell asleep on a sofa and woke up in a bedroom to find one of the men raping her. The woman said she told the man to stop but he put his thumb on her throat and continued to sexually assault her.

Check it again, simon. Kerney's friend was the one who was assaulted.

Yeah, I admit I thought that at first, but upon reading the article closer I see I was mistaken.

It stuns me that people are after Kerney because a friend was assaulted at his house, as though he had something to do with it. Unreal.

I wonder if she was living with him. That's the only explanation I can come up with.
