TMZ has learned New York Mets star pitcher Johan Santana was accused in a police report of sexual battery that allegedly went down on a Florida golf course ... but the case went nowhere.
TMZ obtained a copy of the report filed with the Lee County Sheriff's Office on October 28, 2009 -- one day after the alleged attack in Fort Myers. In the document, the accuser (referred to only as Jane Doe) claims she and Santana were walking on the golf course when he "began to kiss her and pull up her top, unclasping her bra."
The report continues: "Johan began to pull at [the accuser's] skirt/skort and attempt [sic] to place his hands into her underwear." According to the document the alleged victim "told Johan no multiple times but Johan persisted."
The report gets more graphic, when the accuser claims Santana penetrated her, grabbed and bruised her calf, and "ejaculated on her upper thigh."
The accuser claims she "cleaned her thigh with her underwear" -- and then returned to a tennis court with Santana, and actually watched him play tennis with someone else.
According to the report, a detective collected all of the accuser's
clothing as evidence.
A spokesperson from the Sheriff's Office tells TMZ Sheriff's detectives met several times with the prosecutor from the State's Attorney's Office to review the case. 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, the alleged victim's statement is not consistent with other witnesses." The case was closed out on December 8, 2009.
We contacted Santana's rep, who said, "Johan denied the charges and was never charged with anything. As far as the law enforcement side of this goes, the case is closed."
Johan spoke in the Mets' locker room before today's
game -- check out his statement.

AND THEN SHE SAT AND WATCHED HIM PLAY TENNIS? sounds like she was fishing for cash. Wouldn't you be so upset, you would not want to be around the person who just sexually assaulted you? seems odd
More TMZ Sports? Must be Evan and Charles' day to pick what's posted. Very few of us follow every single player on every single team, noteworthy or not.
Who cares? NY Mets? Well, I guess if I were in NY....
I am sorry - as a woman, if some guy forced me to have intercourse, I would NOT be watching him play tennis afterwards.
Now I know she may have been shocked at what had just happened, but watching him play tennis is a bit much if he really had forced himself on her.
Ladies - you need to be clear in your actions - if a guy forces you, report it immediately to anyone who will listen...do not do these irrational things - like watch him go play sports...really?
And this is news HOW?!?!??! It was reported, nothing came of it, cased CLOSED. TMZ just keeps pulling crap outta their arses to report as *news*. Blah!
so.....law enforcements cool with sex on the golf course? She has bruises and his sperm sample and its still not enough?
@Scooter the jerkoff!!! Please tell me what Persuasion is Johan Santana??? I can tell you he is not of the same persuasion as Lawrence Taylor!! He isn't even of the same persuasion as Ben Rothleisberger!!!! So what persuasion is he?
If this really happened, they why did she wait the next day to report it? She went back with him and watched him play a game of tennis. I'm sorry, but seriously, if someone just raped you, as she claimed he did, you would be calling the police. Not only that, but wouldn't she be visibly upset, maybe even crying? Yet no one noticed at the tennis game. If she had been SOMEONE would have noticed! Sounds like more money grubbing hoes trying to make some quick money. You people are so quick to condem, but common sense never seems to come into play. Golddigger logic: Sleep with a famous person, accuse them of assult, sue them for millions. The end. It's been happening more and more lately.
A report from 2009 that went no where? Seriously? How f**king desperate must TMZ be to report something about has been ballplayer from 2009?
