NFL: Patriots' Diggs facing assault charges ahead of play-offs
"She told police that Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom and struck her across the face after a discussion about money she said she was owed. The woman alleged that when she attempted to push him away, Diggs tried to choke her by placing his elbow around her neck, later throwing her onto the bed and responding with the word "lies" when she said she had not been paid."
"Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations. They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated - because they did not occur. The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee's satisfaction. Stefon looks forward to establishing the truth in a court of law,"
Stefon Diggs faces a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from an alleged December 2 incident. A motion hearing took place at Dedham District Court, and an arraignment is scheduled for January 23. A police report states a woman who worked as a private chef said Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom, struck her, attempted to choke her by placing his elbow around her neck, and threw her onto a bed while saying "lies" when she said she had not been paid. The woman left her job, returned to collect belongings, and was allegedly offered payment only after signing a nondisclosure agreement. She initially declined to press charges but later did. Diggs's attorney strongly denied the claims, calling them unsubstantiated and attributing them to an unresolved financial dispute.
