A Massachusetts jury acquits former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs of charges that he assaulted and strangled his live-in personal chef. The case stems from an incident reported in December at Diggs’s home in Dedham, where the chef said the altercation grew out of a dispute over money and their personal relationship. Prosecutors alleged the chef was struck and that Diggs tried to choke or suffocate her, describing actions in a police report. Diggs pleaded not guilty and his legal team denies that any assault occurred, while pointing to claims about financial demands made by the chef’s representatives before trial. According to multiple reports, the jury deliberates for about 90 minutes after a two-day trial and returns a verdict of not guilty on the felony strangulation or suffocation charge as well as a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. The verdict is read in court with Diggs present. The sources also note that Diggs, 32, is a free agent after being released by the Patriots.

3 months agoNEW YORK, United States (AFP) — Former New England Patriots star Stefon Diggs was acquitted Tuesday of charges that he assaulted his live-in personal chef. A jury in Massachusetts cleared the veteran National Football League (NFL) wide receiver of felony strangulation or suffocation, and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. Appearing in court in a grey suit and tie, Diggs calmly nodded as the verdict was read out. Personal chef Jamila Adams reported the incident, which she said stemmed from a pay dispute, to police in December. She said Diggs struck her in the face and tried to choke her "using the crook of his elbow around her neck," according to the police report. Adams said she and Diggs had previously been in a sexual relationship. Diggs, 32, appeared in court in February to plead not guilty, less than a week after playing for the Patriots in the Super Bowl. His lawyers denied any assault ever happened, and pointed to financial demands that Adams's representatives allegedly made on the eve of the trial. Following a two-day trial, the jury deliberated for roughly 90 minutes before exonerating Diggs on both counts, according to local media. Diggs is currently a free agent, having been released by the Patriots. He dated rapper Cardi B, with whom he had a child last November, though the celebrity couple have reportedly split since.
