Gwinnett County detectives continued looking Friday for a man suspected of raping a young woman during a party at the Buford home of Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas.
Cpl. David Schiralli, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department, said little progress has been made in finding the man. "They are still looking for the person the victim stated was the attacker," Schiralli said.
Police say Douglas is not a suspect and knew nothing of the incident.
The woman, who is in her 20s, said was at a party at Douglas' home Wednesday night. She became tired, went into one of the bedrooms and fell asleep.
A few hours later, just before 5 a.m. Thursday, "she was then awoken by a male who was sexually assaulting her," the police detailed in press release. "The victim fled the scene to another location where she called 911 to report what had just happened."
The woman gave investigators the name of a possible suspect.
The Falcons on Thursday issued a statement. "We are aware of the report concerning an incident that took place at Harry Douglas' residence. It is our understanding that Harry was not involved in the incident. Because this is an ongoing police investigation we will have no further comment at this time."
Douglas, 24, was chosen by the Falcons in the third round last year after starring at Louisville and Jonesboro High School. He caught 23 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown last season.
