- Josh Jackson has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room
- A civil case has been filed against former Suns and Kings player Josh Jackson
- The woman alleges that Jackson tried to forcibly have sex with her when she was asleep
Not many NBA fans will forget Josh Jackson, he was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, and he was chosen by the Phoenix Suns. Many thought he had what it takes to become the next great star, with some fans comparing him to Kawhi Leonard.
He last played in the NBA in 2022 for the Sacramento Kings before joining their affiliate, the Stockton Kings. They waived him in four days in 2023, though. And now life has gotten worse for him, the 26-year-old has been accused of sexual assault.
“John Lauro, the attorney helming the sprawling criminal defense of former President Donald Trump, has recently taken up a civil rape lawsuit against basketball player Josh Jackson, the No. 4 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft,” reported Sportico.
“In a civil case filed last month in U.S. District Court, a woman accused Jackson of sexually assaulting her after they met at a 2022 Super Bowl party in New York. There have been no criminal charges stemming from the alleged incident.”
Josh Jackson played three seasons in Phoenix, during which he got worse every year. He averaged 13.1 points per game in his rookie season but didn’t reach that level for the Suns again.
He was then signed by the Detroit Pistons, where he had another good season, averaging 13.4 points per game. However, he fell off the season after that and then got out of the league after brief stints with the Kings and their G-League team.
The Details Of The Accusation Against Josh Jackson Are Wild
According to the reports, Josh Jackson left a party “co-hosted by Andre Drummond” with the woman that accused him. They ended up in a hotel room together, where the woman thought Andre Drummond would also be present.
It goes on to state that she was “very intoxicated” and that Jackson offered her $1,500 for sex, before “claiming that he had $12 million more” in the bank. After she reportedly turned him down and fell asleep, he allegedly tried to “forcibly have sex with her.”
These are serious allegations, and if his NBA career wasn’t already over, then this might be the thing that sinks Josh Jackson. Whether he did it or not, only time and the courts will be able to confirm.
