It has now been revealed that Miami Dolphins' Richie Incognito last year faced allegations of molesting a woman at a charity golf tournament and dumping water on her head.

The maligned lineman was accused of molesting a female volunteer with a golf club during a team-sponsored charity golf tournament last year, according to reports.

The harassment allegation became public after WPLG obtained a copy of the police report filed May 18, 2012 by the 34-year-old woman.

Mr Incognito’s lewd behaviour occurred during the annual Fins Weekend Golf Tournament at the Turnberry Resort and Club, the incident report said.

The woman accused the footballer of using a golf club to rub her privates and knock her glasses off her head, a copy of the report reviewed by MailOnline alleges.

The woman said Mr Incognito had been drinking during the event.

‘After that, he proceeded to lean up against her buttocks with his private parts as if dancing, saying ‘Let it rain, Let it Rain!’ The report said.

‘He finally finished his inappropriate behavior by emptying bottled water in her face,’ said the report.
The woman told cops arriving on the scene that several people saw the inappropriate behaviour and did nothing to stop it.

Had Mr Incognito simply apologized, it does not appear she would have filed the report.

Instead, ‘she felt like he didn't care and thought the whole incident was in fun and games,’ the report reads. ‘Other people apologized for him, but not him.’

Dolphins team security said they would handle the issue when it was brought to their attention, but the woman told authorities nothing was done.

The woman is not allowed to speak publicly about the incident after signing a confidentiality agreement, according to WPLG.

The golf outing accusation is the third in a series of shocking stories involving the previously under-the-radar football player.

Last month, a series of voicemails left for teammate Jonathan Martin emerged that showed Mr Incognito using racial slurs and threatening physical violence against him.

Mr Incognito was suspended indefinitely from the team while an investigation is carried out.

Mr Martin has since left the team to seek counseling, and accused unspecified teammates of threatening to rape his sister.

His teammates are confused: Many teammates have come out against Mr Martin, with some claiming that they don't understand what he's doing

In the time since his suspension, Mr Incognito has told those close to him that he feels betrayed by Mr Martin, a rookie that other Dolphins have publicly said the veteran took under his wing.

A source told ESPN the allegations 'shocked' Mr Incognito, and that he feels betrayed.

'It's probably a combination of totally blindsided and a bit betrayed,' the source told the network. 'He's shocked. He can't believe this happened and thinks it probably could have been avoided.'

To his credit, several teammates have spoken out in favor of Mr Incognito, and also said many of the comments were taken out of context.

'I don't think what happened is necessary,' teammate Tyson Clabo told ESPN. 'I don't know why he's doing this. And the only person who knows why is Jonathan Martin.'

Just this past week, a video emerged of an out-of-control, drunk, shirtless Mr Incognito rampaging through a bar shouting the n-word as terrified patrons dove for cover.

The team has not publicly commented on the two latest incidents.

His career is over? I doubt it. Vick spent 2 years in jail for killing dogs (while he was playing pro ball), and now he's back as a starting quarterback. This guy will be back before the season is over. Sad the fact that people will overlook behavior in favor of physical talent. It's coming in college too. LSU has really hushed up the fact that their starting QB was kicked out of Georgia football because of convictions of sexual assault. However, boy can he throw that ball. Truly sad.

posters all know he did everything in print about him; oh, no charges filed? who cares , he must be guilty; all his teammates who were there support him? who cares, we know better from a distance; and on the other side you have martin so unstable he's into a hospital for 'mental distress'; who cares, we know everything he says is true; if you're ever in trouble, pray you don't get a jury of your poster peers

He's a meathead. We all know guys like this. When I saw that video of him prancing around the bar with his shirt off, trying to intimidate other patrons, I just snickered. One of these days, he's going to run into someone who's not intimidated by his antics, and he's going to get taught a lesson.

The woman has not spoken publicly about the incident. She signed a confidentiality agreement at the time which means she was paid handsomely to not file charges and never speak of it. Apparently some savvy reporter managed to dig up information on the incident.
