SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Police in San Francisco say they're investigating a sexual assault allegation involving 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree.

Police said in a statement released Friday night that the alleged assault occurred in a city hotel room early Sunday.

The statement says Crabtree has been interviewed with his attorney present and has cooperated with the probe. The receiver hasn't been detained or arrested, and agreed to be available for further questions in the future.

Authorities didn't release any further details, and a spokesman for the 49ers had no immediate comment.

San Francisco is preparing to play the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC championship game on Sunday. The winner goes to the Super Bowl.

2. Didn't this exact same thing happen to Randy Moss a few years ago?

I'm not judging one way or the other what happened here or in the Moss case, but if I recall correctly, the papers came out with what sounds like a similar story a day or two before an AFC championship game a few years ago.

6. Wasn't there another issue with pot about ten years ago.

7. I don't remember about that, but I remember in '09

Santonio Holmes got busted for a little weed in October and the hearing wasn't set until after the SB (that he was MVP in). Not a big deal, but I remember them bringing up the story a few times in the lead-up to the game with the Cardinals.
