Former NBA superstar Dwight Howard finds himself entangled in a sexual assault allegation in the United States. Howard, vehemently denying the accusations through his legal representative, hopes for a dismissal of the case by the court.
According to the Associated Press, a civil lawsuit was filed in July of this year by an American man named Stephen Harper, accusing Howard and another individual of assault, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Harper claims that he connected with Howard on Instagram and engaged in “clear text messages” before arranging a meeting at Howard’s residence on July 19, 2021.
During their journey to Howard’s home, Harper states that the NBA star proposed involving other individuals in their gathering, but Harper declined the offer without interest.
Upon arrival at Howard’s residence, Harper alleges that he encountered an individual disguised as a woman, introducing themselves as “Katie.” Despite his attempts to resist, Harper claims that Howard and Katie coerced him into engaging in sexual activity.
Howard, refuting Harper’s accusations, submitted a response through his attorney, asserting that the sexual activity was consensual among the three parties involved. Additionally, Howard requested the dismissal of the case.
