Antonio Brown has been accused of raping and sexually assaulting his trainer, a woman he originally met in college.
The federal lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, says that Brown assaulted Britney Taylor – a gymnast who he met while attending college at University of Central Michigan. She says the first two instances happened in June 2017 and the third took place in May 2018.
The lawsuit alleges that Brown first sexually assaulted Taylor during training sessions in 2017 by exposing himself and kissing her without consent. He later reportedly masturbated behind her back while the two were watching TV and ejaculating on her back.
Taylor claims the third incident happened after Brown “begged forgiveness” and insisted she continued to train him. Taylor ultimately agreed, but in May 2018 the lawsuit against Brown says “Brown cornered [her] forced her down onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and forcibly raped her.”
All this news drops only three days after Antonio Brown was released by the Oakland Raiders and signed with the New England Patriots. He did not play in the Patriots’ opening game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
