The Tampa Bay Rays cut ties with team physician Michael Reilly on Tuesday, one week after the team was made aware of a YouTube video in which a woman accused him of sexual abuse.
"We have very recently become aware of a video accusing Dr. Reilly of sexually abusing a former employee of his medical practice," said John Higgins, the Rays' senior vice president of administration and general counsel. "We have ended our contractual relationship with him, and we have also alerted the St. Petersburg Police Department and Major League Baseball of this situation."
Reilly, 67, was initially been suspended by the Rays last week, after the team said it viewed the video.
