LOS ANGELES (AP) Rapper TI and his wife Tameka Tiny Harris are under investigation by Los Angeles Police after allegation of sexual abuse.
Los Angeles Police Officer Rosario Cervantes said on Tuesday an active investigation was underway. The investigation comes after a woman in Los Angeles and another in Las Vegas filed a police report accusing the couple of sexual assault.
A report was caught on April 8 for a sexual assault involving the couple which occurred in 2005, Cervantes said. Police did not provide any further details.
Las Vegas police received a report this month of a 2010 sexual assault incident involving the couple. But the case was closed because it was reported outside the statute of limitations.

Steve Sadow, the lawyer for TI and his wife, said his clients strongly deny and reject all the allegations. He said the couple had not spoken or been contacted by police in Los Angeles, Las Vegas or any other jurisdiction in the country.
The LAPD accuser once again remains anonymous, preventing us from being able to refute or refute her claims or even examine them, Sadow said. Meanwhile, although we now have the name of an accuser for the first time, who has apparently filed a police report with the (Las Vegas Metropolitan Police), we have virtually no details on his claim, and his lawyer has so far refused a copy of the report for public review.
The Associated Press generally does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted.
In March, attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn said more than 30 women contacted him, accusing TI and his wife of drugs, kidnapping, rape and forced intimidation in at least two states, including California. and Georgia. He said the allegations span more than 15 years.
A spokesperson for TI and Tiny denied the charges.
Production on the VH1 reality series TI & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle was suspended in February amid allegations of sexual abuse.
