Chicago police investigate Pirates infielder in sexual assault claim

Chicago police are investigating a sexual assault allegation against
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang over an incident that allegedly
took place when his team was in town last month, a police spokesman confirmed
Tuesday.
The Pirates said Tuesday that they were aware of the investigation.
"We have been made aware of the allegation that has been made against Jung Ho
Kang," Pirates President Frank Coonelly said in a statement in response to
questions from the Tribune about the sexual assault investigation. "We take
allegations of this type extremely seriously. Pursuant to the Joint MLB/MLBPA
Policy on such matters, this matter is exclusively before the Commissioner's
Office at this time. We have and will continue to cooperate fully with the
Commissioner's Office. As a result of the ongoing police investigation, we
cannot comment further at this time. We have also advised our staff and our
players that they should not comment on the matter either. We all need to be
respectful to the police investigation of a very serious allegation."
Kang, 29, has not been charged with a crime. His status with the team was
unchanged.
According to police, the Chicago woman met Kang through Bumble, a
location-based dating app that allows only women to initiate conversations.
Kang invited the woman to his Magnificent Mile hotel room on June 17, hours
after the Pirates had lost a day game to the Cubs.
The woman told investigators she arrived at Kang's room at the Westin Hotel
around 10 p.m. and he served her an alcoholic drink, police spokesman Anthony
Guglielmi said. She said she blacked out about 15 to 20 minutes later, then
drifted in and out of consciousness as he sexually assaulted her.
She told police she did not fully awaken until she was in a taxi and on her
way home, according to Guglielmi.
The 23-year-old woman, who is not being identified because she is an alleged
victim of a sex crime, went to Northwestern Memorial Hospital to have a rape
kit done on June 19, Guglielmi said. She filed a formal complaint with police
10 days later, sources said.
The league released a statement saying it recently learned of the allegation.
"Our understanding is that police in Chicago are investigating this very
serious matter," the statement said. "Major League Baseball will monitor the
progress of this investigation closely and will respond fully as additional
facts emerge."
Kang, who is from South Korea, signed a 4-year, $11 million deal with the
Pirates in 2015. He finished third in Rookie of the Year voting last season
and missed the final month of the season with a broken leg after the Cubs'
Chris Coghlan slid hard into second base trying to break up a double play.
He has been in a batting slump since mid-June and was not in the Pirates'
starting lineup Monday.
The Cubs are scheduled to play in Pittsburgh this weekend.
