Chicago police today released a heavily redacted incident report that says the woman who claimed to be a victim of a sexual assault by Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang did not initially cooperate with investigators.
But additional information that might have provided context to explain her initial reluctance was blacked out by the police department.
The report, which obscured Mr. Kang’s name, listing him as “offender,” was released in response to a records request from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that specifically sought documentation of the incident involving the major leaguer.
In its response, dated today, the police department said the case is being “actively investigated” and that release of more information might obstruct detectives’ efforts.
