Vikings' sex cruise alleged
Daily News Wire Services
The Hennepin County (Minn.) Sheriff's Department is investigating allegations of criminal sexual conduct by Vikings players after a boat cruise on Lake Minnetonka devolved into an out-of-control party that included lap dances and sexual acts, according to an attorney for the charter boat company and reported in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Stephen Doyle, a lawyer representing the owners of Al and Alma's, a company that charters cruises on the lake, said two players reserved a charter for a night-time excursion last Thursday.
A woman called Mound, Minn., police Thursday night to report allegations of "possible prostitution, drugs and live sex acts" on the two boats. According to the police report, the woman said she and her brother's girlfriend served as hostesses on the ships.
Doyle said he didn't learn details of what allegedly happened until he sat down yesterday with six of the eight crew members.
Doyle said about 90 people were on the two boats. According to a Vikings player who spoke on the condition of anonymity, about 15 players were on a charter as part of what he described as a "team event." The player said that he was unaware of any sexual acts and that the cruise lasted less than 90 minutes. Doyle said he believed it to be a tradition for Vikings rookies and first-year players to take their teammates out.
Upon returning to the dock, the player said, there were no police officers present and he did not know of any problems on the boats.
The Vikings released a statement last night, saying, "The organization has been made aware of the allegations involving our players, and we take these allegations very seriously. We are working diligently to gather as many facts as possible. At this time, we have no further comment."
An NFL spokesman declined to comment on the allegations against Vikings players, but the league's personal conduct policy clearly states that league employees can be subject to discipline.
