Cowboys' C.J. Spillman in sex assault inquiry; no arrests, charges in alleged incident at Gaylord Texan
Dallas Cowboys safety and special teams player C.J. Spillman is involved in a sexual assault investigation in Grapevine, police say.
No charges have been filed and no arrests have been made in connection with the incident, which reportedly occurred at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.
Police Sgt. Robert Eberling said a report involving Spillman, 28, was filed Sept. 20.
He declined to release further details about the allegations, including how Spillman was allegedly involved or when the incident occurred.
Spillman’s agent and attorney declined to comment.
The Dallas Cowboys could not be reached for comment Wednesday night. The team signed Spillman last month; he had been cut by the San Francisco 49ers in August.
Players who sign with the Cowboys often stay at the Gaylord until they find homes in the Dallas area.
The NFL has faced criticism recently for its handling of players accused of domestic abuse and other violence.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett recently told the team that the club wouldn’t allow players accused of domestic violence to play.
“Part of what our jobs are as coaches is to create the right environment for our players to function both on and off the field,” he said. “So we need to be clear about where we are. We need to be clear that we have a structure in place to help anybody who has any off-the-field issues.”
The team’s zero-tolerance approach to domestic violence follows protests over how the NFL responded to accusations that Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice assaulted his fiancée in an elevator earlier this year.
