A civil lawsuit against former NBA star Dwight Howard alleging sexual assault and battery was dismissed on Monday after it was filed in July 2023.
A civil lawsuit against former NBA star Dwight Howard alleging sexual assault and battery was dismissed on Monday, according to ESPN. The dismissal was filed in Gwinnett County Court in Georgia. The lawsuit was originally filed by Georgia man Stephen Harper in July 2023. Harper dismissed all the claims he had asserted against Howard with prejudice, meaning he cannot refile a lawsuit on those claims.
This is nothing more than a classic case of unrequited love,' Howard's lawyers wrote in the December filing obtained by ESPN. 'After one consensual evening together, Mr. Howard was no longer interested in keeping Mr. Harper's company.' Howard spent 18 years in the NBA, winning an NBA championship with the Lakers in 2020.
