In a surprising twist to the ongoing case involving Dwight Howard’s alleged sexual assault, the accuser, Stephen Harper, has reportedly filed a police report months after the alleged incident. Harper claimed to have received a chilling death threat from a person known as “Kitty,” who was involved in the alleged encounter with Howard. According to the police report, Kitty warned Harper to keep everything a secret or face the threat of someone putting a bullet in his head. 

Harper’s police report provides a detailed account of the incident, describing Howard as an “ex-boyfriend” and revealing that they had been in a long-distance relationship for several months. The report also mentions that Harper became terrified during the encounter, believing he would suffer imminent bodily harm if he resisted Howard’s advances.

Dwight Howard has vehemently denied the allegations, stating that the encounter was consensual. His lawyer, Justin Bailey, accused Harper of attempting to profit from the situation and expressed confidence in bringing the truth to light in a court of law.

The case took a significant turn when the police suspended their investigation in August 2022 due to Harper’s lack of cooperation. The report mentions that Harper was notified that the case would be suspended if he did not cooperate, leading to the case’s closure by suspension. This new development adds further complexity to an already contentious legal battle and raises questions about the future of the case and the individuals involved.


This Case Could Have Stopped NBA Teams From Recruiting Dwight Howard 

The sexual assault allegations against Dwight Howard have raised significant concerns about his future in the NBA. Stephen A. Smith’s recent comments shed light on how these allegations might have played a role in NBA teams’ hesitance to sign the veteran player. Smith expressed his shock and disbelief at the details of the case and speculated that the situation surrounding Howard has likely deterred potential suitors, even though no specific teams were mentioned in his remarks.

Smith’s assertion that the allegations could be a key factor in Howard’s inability to secure an NBA contract highlights the delicate balance that teams must strike between player talent and off-court issues. Howard is renowned for his defensive prowess, making it challenging to comprehend why a team would consider him and then back away due to legal matters.

NBA teams typically conduct thorough investigations into potential signings, and the outcome of such inquiries can significantly impact a player’s chances of being recruited. In this case, the ongoing nature of the sexual assault allegations appears to be a significant obstacle to Dwight Howard’s return to the league. As the legal proceedings unfold, Howard’s future in the NBA remains uncertain, leaving many to wonder how this case will ultimately impact his career and reputation in the league.
