When we get more clarification on what the improper interactions were we will let you know.
This not the first time Brunson has been accused.
Brunson was arrested in June 2014 and indicted on charges of attempted criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual abuse, aggravated battery and domestic battery following an encounter with a massage therapist at a Vernon Hills fitness center. Authorities say Brunson used the name of retired NBA star Patrick Ewing to book an appointment in April with the massage therapist who had previously notified Brunson that she would no longer provide him with massages. Brunson pleaded not guilty to all charges. He later testified that the incident that led to the charges was a consensual act as part of an ongoing extramarital relationship. He was eventually acquitted.
Brunson who played in NBA is the father of Villanova guard Jalen Brunson who just declared for Draft.
