A professional football player is the subject of an Atlanta Police Department investigation after he was accused of raping a woman in a Buckhead hotel, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution says.

According to the AJC, Sammie Hill and the victim had consensual sex in a hotel room in the Embassy Suites at 3285 Peachtree Rd. last week, but Hill then allegedly began to rape the victim while she was sleeping. A police report acquired by the AJC states that Hill apologized for the incident, gave the woman $300, and parted ways with her.

In further texts documented by the police report, Hill continued to apologize to the woman, the AJC says.

Hill is a nose tackle for the Tennesee Titans, and has previously laced up cleats for the Detroit Lions. The report acquired by the AJC says that the woman had no idea that Hill was a football player.

Investigation of the incident is ongoing.
