Boat company says Vikings had sex cruise
The Hennepin County, Minn., sheriff’s department is investigating allegations of criminal sexual conduct by Minnesota Vikings players.
A boat cruise on Lake Minnetonka devolved into a party that included lap dances and sexual acts, according to an attorney for the charter boat company.
Stephen Doyle, a lawyer representing the owners of Al and Alma’s, a company that charters cruises on the lake, said cornerback Fred Smoot and another Vikings player, whom he declined to name, reserved a charter for a night-time excursion Thursday.
A woman called police Thursday night to report “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 about 90 people were on the two boats.
A Vikings player who spoke on condition of anonymity said about 15 Vikings 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.
Contacted Tuesday afternoon, Smoot indicated that the allegations were exaggerated.
An NFL spokesman declined to comment.
This is probably their best team effort this season.
