Mets pitcher Johan Santana may have had a non-baseball matter on his mind this weekend when pitching against his old team, the Twins -- now that he has been exposed as an unfaithful husband.
Last week, TMZ.com and Thesmokinggun.com unearthed an October sheriff's report from Lee County in Florida with the details of an icky situation Santana got himself into on a golf course with a woman who cried rape.
Parents be forewarned: The details at these links -- tinyurl.com/33fp9uv and tinyurl.com/2vwe6xn -- are rather graphic.
"Law enforcement sources say DNA evidence did prove there was intercourse, but, according to a sheriff's document, the prosecutor concluded, 'There was not enough evidence to prove lack of consent, [and] the alleged victim's statement is not consistent with other witnesses,'" TMZ reported. The case was closed on Dec. 8, according to TMZ.
The Smoking Gun wrote: "Santana, who is married with three children, and the alleged victim both live in a gated community in Fort Myers, and first met ten days before their Oct. 27 sexual encounter..."
TMZ's account includes video of Santana addressing the allegations in a lockerroom. Santana said he could not talk about it, but he did not deny the unsavory incident.
When reached Friday for comment, Santana's agent, Chris Leible, said, "Johan addressed it after it came out on the Web." Asked whether Santana told his NY agent of this off-season, off-field image problem, Leible said, "I'm not going to get into it."
And how's Johan's marriage? "I'm not going to get into any of that," Leible said.
