Odell Beckham Jr. Won’t Face Criminal Charges After Prosecutors Determine Woman Who Accused him of Assault Contradicted Herself
Last month, recently signed Baltimore Ravens football player, Odell Beckham Jr. was accused of assaulting a woman when he allegedly grabbed her by the throat in Los Angeles. Prosecutors have determined that he will not be charged for the alleged assault.
According to TMZ, after conducting an investigation into the allegations against the Ravens player, prosecutors in Los Angeles will not pursue criminal charges after concluding that the victim’s accusation and video of the encounter do not match.
There was also no one else who could back up the accuser’s claims. Even stating that one of her friends, who was standing next to her when the alleged incident took place did not see an assault take place. From the onset, Beckham denied that the incident happened and even the restaurant’s owner, John Terzian, disputed her recollection of what took place.
The prosecutors stated that there was simply “insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Now that this case is over before it actually started, Beckham can concentrate on preparing for the upcoming NFL season. The new Baltimore Ravens wide receiver just signed a one-year, $18 million deal.
