Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2019 12:32 pm Post subject: Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Luke Walton Dropped |
|
|
Quote: | Kelli Tennant, who alleged that Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton sexually assaulted her in 2014, has filed court documents to drop her civil lawsuit against Walton.
The request for dismissal was filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The document asked a judge to dismiss with prejudice, which means Tennant cannot file again on this issue.
"I can confirm we received the dismissal and it's nice to see that it was voluntarily and permanently dismissed by the claimant," Walton's lawyer, Mark Baute, said in a statement Thursday.
Tennant, a former host on Spectrum SportsNet LA, the Los Angeles Lakers' regional sports network, filed the civil lawsuit against Walton in April. |

So the article says not proof of a settlement, wonder if this was a money grab. _________________ "You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you"

Phew, it's good to learn Walton will get to keep his money, as this might be his last Head Coaching gig at the NBA level, maybe High School and Indian Reservations...lol _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

Another reason why we don't assume people are guilty because somebody filed a lawsuit. My guess is once they did a deep investigation they poked holes into her story and there wasn't any solid evidence. |

I personally think that people that file these false claims should be punished just as severely and in the public eye and the fullest extent of the law as the people they accuse get. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:
