This is why you always have to be careful when someone is accused of sexual assault, you never know exactly what is going on behind the scenes.
You want to believe victims, but there are times stuff like this happens.
NFL star Tyrann Mathieu was threatened by a relative — “I want 1.5 million by Friday or I am going to kill all you all” — this according to federal court documents.
Officials claim 21-year-old Geourvon Keinell Sears tried to shake down the Kansas City Chiefs safety in April by threatening to contact TMZ with fake allegations of sexual misconduct if Tyrann didn’t come up with the money.
At first, Sears’ demand was $1.5 million — but he later raised the number to $5 million, according to the documents filed in U.S. District Court in Louisiana.
Officials say Sears contacted Mathieu by phone calls and also text messages. Mathieu’s family members feared for their safety, according to the court docs.
That is CRAZY.
Be safe out there guys.
