Shorttynaz Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Media reports say St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson has been accused of beating a girlfriend who was nine months pregnant with the couple's child at his Las Vegas home last year. Supriya Harris of Mableton, Ga., filed a complaint with Las Vegas police this week saying the two-time Pro Bowl running back repeatedly pushed her to the ground in March 2009 and bloodied her hip. Copies of the report were posted online by CBS Sports. Las Vegas police spokeswoman Barbara Morgan said authorities have not been in contact with Jackson, nor is an active investigation under way. She said the police report made in LaPlace, La., had not yet been provided to Las Vegas police. In the report, Harris said Jackson ``flung'' her against a door until Jackson's nephew interceded. She told police Jackson later urged her to say she was injured during a fall in the shower. Jackson called the accusations ``untrue'' and ``hurtful'' in a statement issued by one of his agents, Tom Savage of U.S. Sports Advisors. The Rams said the team was aware of the situation. ``We are always concerned with issues involving our players,'' coach Steve Spagnuolo said. foxsports.com LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBalata Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 it took her almost a year to come forth ?? something fishy here agreed. Was just going to point out the same thing. She's got some ulterior motives if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Runt Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 agreed. Was just going to point out the same thing. She's got some ulterior motives if you ask me. I gotta think so too. A year to come forward?? Gimme a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 another scenario--maybe the violence continued after that incident and she finally realized she couldn't take it anymore and reported it to police. Also she was about to give birth at that time, then when the baby came along, she focused on caring for her family and perhaps hoping things get better. Or maybe friends/family or a therapist prompted her to come forward after learning of the incident. Very sad thing that happened if it's true, you never know how people will cope in that situation because things are too crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic violence is not exactly uncommon amongst pro athletes, but people making up stories to try to get a piece of that action isn't exactly uncommon either. Just on face, without knowing any more than I do, I'm on the side of "I ain't buying". My view can certainly change though.

Duchess Jack Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm on the side of "I ain't buying". Same here. I don't know anything about him that would support this - so without proof - I have to imagine that this chick is looking for some cash and/or revenge.

frenzal rhomb Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 The way thats written I thought he was using the child to strike her - that would be a little funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzkek Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Same here. I don't know anything about him that would support this - so without proof - I have to imagine that this chick is looking for some cash and/or revenge. She already had his kid. That's plenty of $, if that's what she's really after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Could be. Domestic violence is not exactly uncommon amongst pro athletes, but people making up stories to try to get a piece of that action isn't exactly uncommon either. Exactly. There's a loser in the mix here somewhere, just hard to know where. The way thats written I thought he was using the child to strike her - that would be a little funny. Never mind.

twiley Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 What needs to be pointed out is that this was a voluntary police report meaning she went in and told them her side of the story. Let's hear all the facts first people before we start making accusations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
