    So the rumors of Dwight Howard were true.
    Dwight Howard denies sexual assault allegations, wants lawsuit dismissed
    • Baxter Holmes, ESPN Senior WriterOct 25, 2023, 10:32 AM ET


    Former NBA star Dwight Howard has denied sexual assault and battery allegations filed against him earlier this year and asked a court to dismiss a civil lawsuit he is facing in Georgia.
    In court documents obtained by ESPN, Howard said Monday that he engaged in "consensual sexual activity" with a man named Stephen Harper during a July 2021 encounter at Howard's Georgia residence. Howard denied that he caused any injury to Harper, according to the filing.
    In the original complaint filed in July, Harper's lawyers said he and Howard first began corresponding over direct messages on Instagram in May 2021, with Harper initiating the exchange. Harper accused Howard of sexually assaulting him at Howard's home during the subsequent July 2021 encounter.

        So the rumors of Dwight Howard were true.

        Former NBA center Dwight Howard has denied sexual assault and battery allegations stemming from a July 2021 incident at his Georgia residence with a man named Stephen Harper, according to a civil lawsuit obtained by The Post.

        An attorney for Howard, who currently plays in the Taiwanese pro basketball league, said his client is looking forward to “presenting the truth” in court.

        “What was a private consensual encounter was made public for profit and Mr. Howard looks forward to bringing the truth to light in a court of law,” an attorney for Howard, Justin Bailey, told ESPN. “The allegations against Mr. Howard are contested. Mr. Howard intends to present the truth….

        “Despite being an easy target due to the subject matter and his status as a celebrity, Mr. Howard chose to trust in the justice system and will rely on all future court filings to speak for themselves.”


        Per the court documents, Howard said he engaged in “consensual sexual activity” with Harper, but denied causing any injury to Harper while they were at Howard’s home in July 2021.



        The encounter took place after Harper’s lawyers said in their initial filing that their client initiated communication with Howard over direct messages on Instagram in May 2021, according to ESPN.

        Howard also denied allegations of “intentional infliction of emotional distress” and “false imprisonment,” as stated in the civil lawsuit.



        In a separate incident report obtained by ESPN, Harper went to the Gwinnett County Police Department in July 2022 — a year after the alleged incident — but no charges were filed.

        “This report was made following Mr. Harper being blocked on social media and after the first demand for payment was rejected,” Bailey told the outlet.

        Howard last played in the league in 2022 and continued his professional basketball career later that year with Taiwan’s Taoyuan Leopards.

        The 18-year NBA veteran won an NBA title while on LeBron James’ Lakers in the 2019-20 COVID bubble season.

            Dwight Howard has a ton of kids with different baby momas. It's clear he is a horn dog and doesn't like condoms. He's paying the price for that today in child support.

            I'm sure he probably sexually assaulted a few NBA groupies also. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

                        There is no denying it anymore, this is at least the 2nd time that he's been caught messing with a tranny.

                        If that is what he likes, that's fine but quit lying. It must be exhausting trying to be something that you are not....be true to yourself and live freely.

                          This is only what you know… I’m sure this guy has been hammering everything he can find worldwide. Wasn’t he some kind of Christian when he first came in the league? They made a thing about it.
