For those who donβt want to read, here are the important details:
– Josh Giddey met the girl in a SoCal night club his rookie year (19yrs old)
– the girl was already in the club and was believed to be 19yrs old as well (she was already in the club so he had no reason to suspect she was a minor, and this means he wasnβt intentionally messing with a minor)
– multiple sources confirmed it was a One night encounter as Josh broke it off after finding out the girl was still in high school
– fast forward 2 years later – 2 weeks ago Giddey was given an anonymous threat that videos of the encounter would be leaked in an attempt to βderailβ his career
– the family feels remorse for the drama this has caused and the damage it has done to Giddeyβs reputation
– the league is investigating how the leaks got leaked and the motive behind it, but they believe neither the girl nor her family are behind it
– criminal defense lawyer Shouse: βin short, if a reasonable person would have no reason to believe the minor was underage, the statutory rape charge should be dismissedβ

There is definitely a sinister side to all this, (especially given the timing). There is no doubt these threats would have affected his game play as letβs face it who wouldnβt be affected by this, in what can only be viewed as an attempt to get him either traded or sacked from OKC. What other reason would there be when everyone involved seemed to have moved on from it. The kid has done nothing wrong and everyone accusing him of being a pedophile before the facts were known should be ashamed of themselves. Letβs hope there is a proper media release from the NBA soon so this can be put to bed
