New Orleans Pelicans player Zion Williamson has been accused of rape in a civil lawsuit filed in Los Angeles.
The court filings state that Williamson, 24, is accused of two rapes, both in Beverly Hills in 2020.
The accuser is seeking damages for assault, sexual battery, domestic violence, burglary, stalking and false imprisonment.
The lawsuit describes the alleged abuse as “sexual, physical, emotional, and financial in nature”.
Williamson – the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft – does not face criminal charges.
