San Francisco Giants slugger Pablo Sandoval is being investigated in a sexual assault case, according to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Dept.
“No charges have been filed. He was not arrested, he was not detained,” Deputy April Skalland said. “He was interviewed with his lawyer present and he cooperated.”
Eric Geffon, Sandoval's attorney, said his client met with the sheriff's department Friday regarding what Geffon called a "consensual" sexual relationship. Sandoval was staying at a beach resort in the Monterey area about 90 minutes from San Francisco.
“On Friday, June 1, Pablo Sandoval voluntarily met with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department related to a consensual, personal relationship of a sexual nature that took place earlier that day,” Geffon said in a statement. “Pablo fully cooperated with the Sheriff's Department. Out of respect for the process, we have no further comment at this time.”
Sandoval has been on the disabled list while recovering from May 4 surgery on his left hand and played for Class-A San Jose as designated hitter on Saturday.
“I'm just concentrating on my game and getting back to the team right now," said Sandoval, who made the All-Star team for the first time last year and is batting .316 with five home runs and 15 RBIs this season.
