Stefon Diggs’ accuser obtains text messages from the NFL star and plans to use them in court
The legal case involving NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs has taken a new turn.
Christopher Griffith, who accuses the player of sexual assault and of orchestrating a violent physical assault, claims to have obtained new evidence as part of the court's discovery process.
According to recently filed court documents, Griffith argues that text messages and phone records submitted during the civil proceedings demonstrate coordination between Diggs's entourage and one of the individuals involved in the assault he claims to have suffered in Los Angeles.
In particular, the plaintiff claims that exchanges regarding flight and lodging reservations took place on the very day of the incident. He also asserts that the phone records indicate a call was made to one of the alleged assailants while the attack was underway. However, these allegations have not been established in court.
Meanwhile, Christopher Griffith is seeking to amend his lawsuit to include a defamation claim. This request follows a recent social media post by Stefon Diggs, in which the player appeared to publicly comment on the ongoing dispute and deny the allegations against him.
A legal battle that continues to intensify
The dispute between the two men stems from events that allegedly took place in May 2023. Griffith accuses Diggs of sexually assaulting him at a residence in Maryland and then, a few days later, orchestrating a physical assault intended to prevent him from speaking publicly. The NFL player denies these allegations.
Even before this lawsuit was filed, Stefon Diggs had himself filed a lawsuit against Griffith, arguing that the allegations made against him had seriously damaged his reputation.
The dispute remains before the courts, and no decision on the merits has yet been rendered. The alleged new evidence, as well as the motions to amend the complaint, will need to be evaluated by the court during the next stages of the case.
