Trail Blazers Won’t Face Charges

Criminal charges won’t be filed against members of the Portland Trail Blazers who had an alleged sex party with two 16-year-old girls, Salt Lake City police said Wednesday.

“Our investigation indicates that the females involved in this incident informed the ballplayers that they were 18 years of age, and they did in fact consent to sexual contact,” the police said in a news release.

The girls said they met the players at a shopping mall last Saturday, the day before the Trail Blazers played the Utah Jazz, and that the players asked them to come to a party in their rooms.

What ensued was an alleged series of encounters in which one of the girls claimed she had sex with “four or five” players and the other with three, according to a police report. A third girl, 15, said she watched her friends.
