Stefon Diggs’ accuser requests change of venue in civil case

Christopher Griffith, who has accused Stefon Diggs of drugging and sexually battering him, is seeking to move the civil lawsuit away from Prince George's County, Maryland. Griffith's motion cites concerns that local Commanders fans could bias potential jurors in favor of Diggs, following his recent signing with the team. The case, which began with Diggs alleging defamation, remains ongoing as no ruling has been made on the venue change request. Griffith argues that Diggs' local prominence may affect juror perceptions of the case's conflicting accounts.
