LA Lakers' Kwame Brown Accussed of Alleged Sexual Assault
Although no charges have been filed yet and authorities are not disclosing when the report was filed or by whom, police have started a preliminary investigation into an alleged sexual assault by Brown. The incident reportedly took place early Saturday (April 29), after the Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns in Game 3 of their playoff series.
Despite the news beginning to overshadow the underdog Lakers 3-2 lead over the Suns, Brown is strongly denying early allegations.
right "I want to assure everyone that I am completely innocent of any wrongdoing and look forward to the truth coming out when this matter is fully investigated," Brown said through an issued statement released by the Lakers to The Associated Press. "I'm just staying grounded and staying with my family. I'm confident it will get resolved.
“You've just got to roll with the punches -- life goes on. I just come out and play."
Police have yet to interview Brown about this alleged sexual assault.
Brown, Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Lakers can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a win over the Suns, Thursday night at the Staples Center. A win tonight would set the stage for an all-Los Angeles second round matchup, as the Lakers would meet the Clippers.
