Former OU running back Adrian Peterson has already come under criticism this season following charges of child abuse, but a story from the Minnesota Star Tribune has revealed more potential trouble for the Minnesota Vikings star.
Peterson's charitable All Day Foundation is at the center of new revelations from the Star Tribune's investigative report on Peterson entitled 'Behind Peterson's perfect image lay an imperfect human being.' The report cites a 38-page police report which says that a relative of Peterson used a credit card for Peterson's All Day, Inc., to pay for a room where Peterson and relatives engaged in sex with as many as four women in Eden Prairie, Minn. From the Star Tribune:
The 38-page police report details a night of drinking, arguing and sex that involved the running back, two relatives - including Peterson's brother, a minor - and four women, in various pairs. One of those present, Chris Brown, a Peterson relative who lives with him in Eden Prairie, told police that he paid for the room using a company credit card for Peterson's All Day, Inc. As the night wore on, the report says, one woman who said she knew Peterson previously became upset when she saw him having sex with another woman. She started an argument that lasted at least an hour. According to the report, when she told him that she was 'emotionally attached to him,' Peterson reminded her that he was engaged to another woman and had a baby. The next day one of the women filed a police complaint that was investigated for months. Peterson insisted on his innocence and, at one point, arrived to provide evidence at police headquarters through a back door, his face shrouded by the hood of his sweatshirt.
The Star Tribune also reports that the All Day Foundation is also rift with suspicious bookkeeping. One such example:
In 2009, the charity said its largest gift, $70,000, went to Straight From the Heart Ministries in Laurel, Md. But Donna Farley, president and founder of the Maryland organization, said it never received any money from Peterson's foundation. 'There have been no outside [contributions] other than people in my own circle,' said Farley. 'Adrian Peterson - definitely not. '
The charity's website -- alldayfoundation.org -- has been shut down since Peterson's indictment in September.
