PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Phillies manager Gabe Kapler is responding to a report that surfaced Friday night that Kapler did not report an alleged assault of a 17-year-old girl to police in 2015. On Saturday, Kapler released a statement in response to The Washington Post’s report.
While serving as the Dodgers’ director of player development in 2015, Kapler allegedly received an email from the 17-year-old girl, describing being assaulted by two women in a minor league player’s hotel room, while one of the players recorded the incident and posted it to Snapchat, instead of diffusing the situation, the Post reports.
