Brian McKnight is responding to allegations that a porn star was raped in his home in 2008 while he was out of town, RadarOnline.com reports.

The allegation was made by Alana Evans on her Twitter page, which became public via a story from Media Takeout. McKnight confirms that the matter was thoroughly investigated by police, but the accused man was not arrested.

Evans has since closed her Twitter page to outsiders but according to Media Takeout’s report, she claimed the LAPD did nothing to help her because of her profession. Now McKnight, the Grammy-winning singer and talk show host, is speaking out.

“We take the accusations made by Ms. Evans very seriously,” McKnight says in a statement to RadarOnline.com.

“I was made aware of a party at my house in my absence in December of 2008. I was in NYC, and both my boys (ages 15 & 17 at that time) were at the house with some friends. I can confirm that Ms. Evans was in fact at the house, as I discovered she provided some of the liquor.

“Being as I was not home at the time, I cannot speak absolutely regarding all the events of the evening, however my sons did inform me that due to Ms. Evans level of intoxication, that they placed her alone in a bedroom so she could “sleep it off.” The next morning Ms. Evans stayed and socialized at the house until approximately 2PM.”

Evans says the man who raped her is Nicholas Hayes, and McKnight acknowledges that allegation.

“Two days after the party, Ms. Evans contacted the LAPD,” McKnight continued in the statement. “The police came to the house and questioned the entire family and Mr. Hayes with the full cooperation of the McKnight family. Mr. Hayes retained a lawyer, and cooperated in a month long investigation. The police concluded that no rape had occurred, and no charges were ever filed. This information is all part of the official police report.

“Rape is a very serious matter, and not something we take lightly. I truly hope that Ms. Evans was not discriminated by the police because of her profession. I believe that the police concluded simply that no crime had taken place.

“That being said,’if I ever had knowledge of such a vile and reprehensible act by anyone whether they were friends or family, I would never work to ‘protect’ that person. The statement that Mr. Hayes has been banned from my home is not true. “

He signs off: “Thank you, Brian, Brian Jr & Niko McKnight.”

Interesting story, I hadn't heard of it. Brian McKnight seems very clear in his defense and support of his friend and sons. Alana Evans' allegation seems weak from what's reported in this story. Like; why would she hang around until 2PM the next day if she had been raped, and then not report it for two days (...which would seem like when she realized she wasn't getting a call-back, lol). Nevertheless, I bet this type of thing happens to Brian a lot.

Coonery perhaps? Obviously the last place anyone will go on about being raped is a social networking site.

I do find it interesting that he doesn't seem to have a problem that his minor sons were at a party in his home with their friends (who were also probably minors) that was serving alcohol and had porn stars attending. He needs to clean house and check who he entrusts his family to while out of town. Stuff like that isn't supposed to go down when kids are present and he should be more incensed about that than anything.

And the adult at the home wound being accused of rape. He's too cavalier about the whole thing. Dude would be banned from my home and damn sure never around my sons. Whatever the police determine is irrelevant as the adult dude introduced this type of situation into the home and then let it obviously get away from him. He needs to be banned from everything involving that family.

cosign with that! how you call someone a friend and support them like it was okay for liquor and porn stars to be around your underage sons? shady!!!

just because he isn't addressing the issue publicly doesn't mean he hasn't done so privately.
