A waitress has accused Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth of sexual assault, according to NBCWashington.com. The alleged incident took place over the weekend at the W Hotel in Washington.

WRC-TV reported that according to a police report, the waitress said Haynesworth touched her breast while paying his bill early Sunday at a downtown Washington hotel.

Police are investigating the complaint made by the waitress.

The U.S. Attorney's Office is expected to review the evidence in the case to see what, if any, charges may be brought against Haynesworth, the television station reported.

Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, provided the following statement to the television station.

"There seems to be no truth to these allegations," Speck said Monday. "And we are currently evaluating the facts and considering our own legal actions against those involved."

D.C. police spokeswoman Officer Tisha Gant said an investigation is under way over something that happened at the hotel, but she would not say for what alleged offense or confirm whether Haynesworth is a suspect. No charges have filed.

Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie issued a statement that has become customary: "We're gathering all the facts and until then we have no comment."

Negative reports on Haynesworth's behavior have become so common that even teammate Phillip Daniels tweeted the latest news and added: "Man does it ever end."

On Jan. 4, Haynesworth was ticketed for going 64 mph in a 45 mph zone in Fairfax County, Va. Earlier this month, in the same county, he was accused of road rage by a man who claimed he was tailgated and then assaulted by Haynesworth.

On Saturday, some 24 hours before the hotel complaint, Haynesworth appeared at a police station and was formally charged with misdemeanor assault in the road rage investigation. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 31 on that charge.

Speck said Haynesworth is innocent and that the accuser in that case is seeking fame and money.

Haynesworth's troubles come both on and off the field, from his disputes over playing time and conditioning with coach Mike Shanahan to his mounting legal issues. At one point last summer he was juggling as many four court-related matters, including lawsuits from a bank, an exotic dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident, and complaints from his ex-wife that he wasn't paying her health insurance or their children's bills.
