Detroit Tigers analyst Craig Monroe is being investigated by the Charlotte County (Fla.) Sheriff\'s Office after a woman alleged on social media last month that he had sexually abused her dating back to when he was a minor-league player and she was a 12-year-old child, according to a report.
The woman, now 35, alleged that the abuse began when Monroe moved in with her family during his days in the minor leagues.
Monroe, who was on a freelance contract that pays him on a per-game basis, has not appeared on a Tigers broadcast since June 9.
\"Bally Sports Detroit and the Tigers are aware of the social-media allegations and take them seriously,\" the Tigers and Bally Sports Detroit said in a statement to the Detroit News. \"As previously stated, Mr. Monroe has not been on the broadcast schedule, and that will continue on an indefinite basis. We will have no further comment and any questions should be directed to Mr. Monroe.\"
