A statement said the Bureau of Police learned Monday of media reports of the allegations.

Pittsburgh Police said they have been in contact with Syracuse Police to gather further information about the incident.

Once information is received, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police says it will begin an investigation, and coordinate with Syracuse Police.
