hopefully its legitimately a misunderstanding, just so there is no victim.I hate this. I hope that young lady and her child are okay. I’m sure Young is and will be suspended until we get a handle on the facts.
It’s noteworthy (1) that his lawyer has issued a pretty strong denial Young had any kind of meaningful physical contact with her and (2) that the charge is a misdemeanor. I’m not drawing conclusions from conflicting statements, but I support an immediate suspension.
The woman told police she started to collect her belongings when a friend called her phone. When she answered, the woman told police, "Mr. Young came out and grabbed her from behind. She said that he picked her up and began to squeeze her torso and abdomen very hard. She said she felt like [Young] was trying to harm her."Not defending this guy but...
"A woman, who was listed in the incident report as Young's ex-girlfriend, informed authorities that she arrived at the football player's apartment around midnight on Oct. 8 to talk about the status of their relationship.
According to the complaint, the 20-year-old woman stated that Young "grabbed her left arm near her biceps and triceps and physically pulled her out of his room." She alleged that the wide receiver was "using derogatory terms and being demeaning of her," before claiming he closed and locked the door to his bedroom."
