Stefon Diggs Accuser Demands NFL Star's Financial Records in Legal Battle
A social media influencer who accused NFL star Stefon Diggs of sexual assault is asking a judge to force Diggs to turn over his financial records. The accuser, Christopher Blake Griffith, claims Diggs has been refusing to provide the financial information in their legal fight.
Christopher Blake Griffith, a social media influencer, filed a sexual battery complaint against New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs in 2023. Diggs responded by suing Griffith for defamation.
Now Griffith wants a judge to order Diggs to hand over financial information that he says the NFL player has been withholding. Court documents suggest the two men had some kind of financial dispute before the assault allegations came to light.
Alleged text messages between Diggs and Griffith have surfaced in court filings, showing the pair engaged in a money-related disagreement. Diggs has pleaded not guilty to the assault allegation.
The Patriots recently released Diggs, though it's unclear if the legal case played a role in that decision. Financial records in cases like this often help determine damages or provide context for the relationship between the parties involved.
This case shows how sexual assault accusations against high-profile athletes can lead to complex legal battles involving money and reputation. The outcome could affect how similar cases are handled in professional sports.
The judge will decide whether to force Diggs to provide the financial information. Both the assault case and defamation lawsuit continue.
