Memphis Grizzlies guard Marko Jaric has been cleared of any wrongdoing stemming from allegations he sexually assaulted a woman in Philadelphia last week while the Grizzlies were in town to play the 76ers.

Based upon reports first published by Sports Illustrated, an investigation was underway to determine if Jaric was involved in the incident that supposedly occurred last weekend.

Jaric, who recently wed Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima, insisted the accusations were “100 percent false,” a spokesperson revealed.

The representative tells TMZ.com, “I received official word from the Philadelphia District Attorneys office that after a thorough investigation no charges will be filed against my client, Marko Jaric, in connection with the alleged incident with an unnamed female on February 11, 2009 while his team was in town to play the (Philadelphia) 76ers.”

“Persons in Marko’s position are often the target of malicious statements and it is not unusual for the police to be asked to investigate.

However, these allegations were proved to be completely false, and while Marko is extremely unsettled by these accusations, he is happy that the law enforcement authorities have cleared him of any criminal conduct and the issue can now be put to rest.”
