The recent se*ual assault allegations placed against Dwight Howard are quite alarming. Despite having a long history of success in the sport of basketball, his life off the court has taken over the limelight. The former NBA star has been criticized for his behavior around several associates in the past. But nothing compares to what Stephen Harper has accused Howard of.
Harper recently filed a lawsuit against the former three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. The suit states that Howard se*ually assaulted, intentionally inflicted emotional distress, and held the victim against his wishes. The incident took place over two years ago at the athlete’s home in Atlanta Georgia. Harper alleged that Howard tried to force him to partake in se*ual activities with him and another individual name Kitty.

Howard later denied the accusations and stated that he never met Elije. He also added that he was never interested in men on any level. Dwight mentioned that the accusations took a toll on his mental health and life outside of the court.
