Ex-Lakers star Byron Scott accused of sexually assaulting minor years ago

Former Los Angeles Lakers Player and coach Byron Scotta sues a woman who claims to have sexually attacked her in 1987, when he was 26 years old and 15 years old.

A woman claims the attack happened on a team event at her Campbell Hall High School in Los Angeles. The lawsuit was originally filed in December 2022, but it was changed on May 1 to accuse Scott of a sexual battery and a false prison.

Amendman appointed Scott in the appeal for the first time after he had previously fought to be identified as “John Doe” to remove his name from court documents.

The lawsuit stated that the victim was in the summer grade at Campbell Hall High School, when “Byron Scott sexually attacked her in a locked domestic wardrobe at high school in high school,” said Associate Press.

The Lakers were in high school in 1987 to capture an instructive basketball video while meeting with students, parents and members of the faculty.

Scott denied the allegations through his lawyer Linda Bauermeister, saying that it was believed that the woman had adults.

“Our client is devastated by this complaint,” Bauermeister said in a statement on Wednesday. “Our client believed that the prosecutor was over 18 and had no idea he would claim otherwise until 35 years later. He respects girls and women, and the claims have blinded him and his family.”

Scott was married to his first wife at the time of the allegation. It was divorced in 2014.

The lawsuit also accused Campbell Hall High School officials of negligence for not protecting the prosecutor. The lawsuit requested a jury trial, as well as compensation of $ 25,000, including loss of earnings and law fees that Scott and high school will be paid.

Scott was part of the three Lakers Championships as a player. He spent 11 of his 14 NBA seasons with the organization of a history, an average of 15.1 points, 3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

Scott also played for Indiana Pacers and the then Vancouver Grizzlies.
