(Condensed version)
According to a San Francisco law enforcement source, the woman who lodged the allegation was one of three women who joined Crabtree in a party at a room in the tony W Hotel on Third Street.
The other two women have told investigators that Crabtree didn't assault anyone, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing.
Police haven't found any physical evidence of an attack, the source added. It hasn't been disclosed whether the woman who said she had been victimized went to a hospital to be examined.
The woman went to Oakland police four days after the party; investigators there promptly referred her to San Francisco police, according to multiple sources.

(110,159 posts)Incidentally, Crabtree and the Niners caught a break when police held off on releasing news of the inquiry until late Friday, after The Chronicle had asked about the allegation. By then, the Niners were on a plane for Atlanta - and had imposed a pregame blackout on player interviews.
i am waiting until we get some kind of info that is not only those supporting and giving crabtree a break. love the niners. like crabtree. hope it does not hold up. but, the press certain has been in crabtree favor since the story broke saturday. not trusting the one sidedness of the press.

(9,709 posts)The guy has had some possibly dubious sexual allegations lobbed at him from an accuser cloaked in anonymity. And you can be sure if nothing comes of this, it will be buried by the media, his accuser's name likely still hidden, while there will now be people who will forever believe he's guilty, regardless of the investigation's outcome..
It's one sided all right..just not in the way you think.

(9,709 posts)there was nothing there either, no charges, no nothing really... This wouldn't even be news if not for Crabtree's high profile.
Something these young rich sports stars need to get through their heads is that there are women (and men) who look at them and see nothing but green.
