The Allegheny County District Attorney's office in Pennsylvania is not investigating Antonio Brown regarding a potential child endangerment situation nor the sexual assault accusations he faces in a civil lawsuit. DA Stephen Zappala initially said Wednesday they were looking into accusations regarding Brown. His office later clarified those remarks, saying it was never contacted regarding the claims of sexual assault made by Brown's ex-trainer in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida.

Zappala's office said it had been contacted by the Northern Regional Police Department "concerning a possible child endangerment situation involving Mr. Brown. The result of that conversation was a decision that we could not move forward with investigating that claim."

Brown denied the sexual assault allegations in a statement by his attorney.
