Stefon Diggs ordered to clarify relationship with sexual assault accuser

Stefon Diggs, a 32-year-old wide receiver formerly with the New England Patriots, has been ordered by a judge to explain his relationship with Christopher Blake Griffith, who has accused him of sexual assault. The judge deemed Diggs' characterization of Griffith as an 'acquaintance' insufficient in the legal proceedings. This case follows previous legal troubles for Diggs, including a felony strangulation lawsuit last season, from which he was acquitted. Diggs has denied the allegations against him and initiated a defamation lawsuit in response to Griffith's claims. The developments come amid Diggs' search for a new NFL team after his release in March.
