NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — The New England Patriots organisation has released the following statement regarding recent rape allegations made against their newest WR, Antonio Brown.
The team, in part, says it doesn’t “condone sexual violence or assault” but is waiting until the league’s investigation is complete. Britney Taylor, 28, spoke out via her attorney to say she had decided to come forward to take a stand against Brown.
“We are aware of the civil lawsuit that was filed earlier today against Antonio Brown, as well as the response by Antonio’s representatives,” the team’s statement said. “We take these allegations very seriously. Under no circumstance does this organization condone sexual violence or assault. The league has informed us that they will be investigating. We will have no further comment while that investigation takes place.”
Disturbing text messages were revealed late Tuesday showing Patriots Antonio Brown‘s behavior toward his former trainer. The trainer has accused the wide receiver of rape.
A federal lawsuit filed in south Florida accuses the new, New England Patriot, (and almost Oakland Raider,) of rape.

“@benshpigel BREAKING: Patriots WR Antonio Brown accused of three separate incidents of sexual assault and rape, according to federal lawsuit filed Tuesday”
The lawsuit says that Brown sexually assaulted and forced himself on a woman he met while they were attending Central Michigan together and whom he later hired as a trainer. The New York Times reports the incidents happened on three separate occasions between 2017 and 2018, reports PIX11.
