Dennis Rodman 'accused of groping'

Former basketball player Dennis Rodman has been accused of sticking his hand up a woman's skirt at a Miami nightclub.

It is alleged that the Celebrity Big Brother star whispered something into the victim's ear before reaching under her clothes, The Mirror reports.

Police revealed that the woman - named in an incident report as Jessica Cox - was distraught and told security guards straight away.

The incident occurred at a fashion show after-party at the LIV nightclub in the Fontainebleau Hotel early on Thursday morning.

Rodman had earlier starred in the fashion show in a pink suit with furry cuffs and chiffon neck bow.

The former sportsman has not been arrested, although police confirmed that investigations are ongoing.

Rodman's representative said the woman was "trying to get money" out of the star.
