Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler released a statement Saturday regarding his involvement in not reporting an assault allegation against women who were in the company of Los Angeles Dodgers minor league players while he was serving as the Dodgers' player development director in 2015.

According to MLB.com, Kapler posted the statement on his website, Kaplifestyle.com, which crashed afterward.

In the statement, Kapler said that while there was a physical altercation involving two women attacking a girl at a hotel room the players were staying at, an allegation of sexual assault was never relayed to him.
