"UPDATE July 2, 2014, 11:50 a.m. ET: We've added a response from Kveton's attorney. He confirms that the allegations are under investigation but calls the report \"sensational reporting of salacious and unproven allegations.\"\n\nPolice are investigating allegations that Scott Kveton, CEO of Portland-based mobile technology company Urban Airship, sexually assaulted a former girlfriend.\nThe allegations stem from a relationship with a woman who says Kveton assaulted her from 2010 through 2013, according to The Oregonian. That relationship, the newspaper reports, was \u201Chighly physical\u201D where \u201Cthey pushed each other's boundaries.\u201D \nSee also: Tinder Cofounder Suspended After Sexual Harassment Claims\nKveton, a 40-year-old leader in Portland\u2019s burgeoning tech scene, allegedly videotaped his accuser in sex acts without her consent, raped her while she was intoxicated and once \"jumped out of a closet and wrapped his arms around her in a 'bear hug'-like hold,\u201D before dragging her into a bedroom where he \u201Ctied her wrists up with some reusable bonding tape,\" among other allegations.\nAfter one of the attacks Kveton reportedly emailed the alleged victim in an attempt to explain his actions, according to an email obtained by The Oregonian. \n\"I think we did have a different memory,\u201D he reportedly wrote. \u201CI was not intoxicated, and you were ... I can remember you saying no in the past ... many, many, many times in fact and actually enjoying it all the same.\u201D \nKveton's attorney, Stephen Houze, tells Mashable he cannot comment on the specifics of the accusations but blasts The Oregonian's story as \"sensational reporting of salacious and unproven allegations.\"\n\"The allegations of an unnamed accuser reported in the Oregonian newspaper today are under investigation by law enforcement. There is an orderly process to such an investigation, which is designed to evaluate the truthfulness of the accuser and expose any possible motives that animate her accusations. As the Oregonian article mentions, another prosecutor's office has already investigated similar allegations made by the same accuser and declined to prosecute Mr. Kveton. While the current investigation is ongoing, it is inappropriate to comment on the specifics of the matter. On behalf of Mr. Kveton and his family, I would ask the media and public to accord Mr. Kveton the presumption of innocence that is the cornerstone of our system of American justice, a concept that can be so easily destroyed by the sensational reporting of salacious and unproven allegations.\"\nCorey Gault, Urban Airship\u2019s director of communications, told Mashable that \u201Cthis is a personal, private matter for Scott, and has nothing to do with Urban Airship.\" He added, \"We remain focused on continuing to drive Urban Airship\u2019s rapid growth and success in the market.\u201D \nUrban Airship, a privately held startup founded in 2009, specializes in mobile push messaging and location-based messaging services, working with companies such as NBC News, Walgreens, ESPN, Fox, Nascar, the NHL, Live Nation, The Children\u2019s Place, Fandango, TMZ and Red Bull, among others.\nThe company has raised nearly $50 million from Intel, Verizon, True Ventures and Foundry Group, and hosted U.S. politicians such as U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, throughout its meteoric rise.\nHave something to add to this story?
