""The Texans cooperated with the NFL's investigation and fully support the suspension of Javier Loya, one of our outside limited partners," the team said in a statement. "This behavior has no place in our organization or our community. Since charges were first filed, Mr. Loya has been prohibited from participating in any Club or League activities. That will continue indefinitely in accordance with the NFL's decision.""
"In 2023, Loya was charged with one count of first-degree rape, five counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of third-degree sexual abuse in Kentucky. Last year, Loya accepted a misdemeanor charge of harassment with intent to annoy, and the seven sexual assault charges were dropped. He entered an Alford plea in March 2024, which allowed him to continue to assert his innocence with the acknowledgment that the evidence in the case was enough for a jury to find him guilty."
Javier Loya, a minority owner of the Houston Texans, was suspended indefinitely by the NFL and fined $500,000 after the league determined he violated the personal conduct policy. He may apply for reinstatement no earlier than June 2026. Loya faced 2023 charges in Kentucky including first-degree rape and multiple counts of sexual abuse; those seven sexual assault charges were later dropped after he accepted a misdemeanor harassment charge. Loya entered an Alford plea in March 2024, acknowledging evidence could support a guilty verdict while continuing to assert innocence. The Texans cooperated with the investigation and have barred him from club and league activities.
