Australian NBA star Josh Giddey is in the middle of a heated underage scandal and a lot could go wrong in his career if it comes out that the girl he was being nasty with is an underage girl.
In the wake of the scandal, Giddey’s Australian family has popped up with pictures of Josh and his family all over the tabloids.
The NBA has launched investigations into the scandal and as it stands, the outcome of the investigations is yet to be out with the appropriate punishment if he’s found guilty.
According to the DM, Giddey’s family believes he was set up.
Sources close to the star’s family say they believe he has been ‘stitched up’ after claims the 21-year old had an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl first surfaced on social media.
Giddey has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a minor after photos of him with a girl recently surfaced on social media.
According to TMZ Sports, California’s Newport Beach Police Department is said to be investigating the claims against Giddey to find out whether there is any validity to them.
The age of consent in California is 18.
News of the investigation came after new video surfaced that allegedly shows Giddey and the young woman dancing together in a nightclub.
Fans claim the video exonerates the Australian Boomers point guard because minors cannot legally enter a nightclub in the United States.
In the US, any Type I establishment like a nightclub requires all patrons to be 21 years old.
However, most major cities have 18+ nightclubs where people aged 18-21 can attend, but cannot consume alcohol on the premises.
The investigation should be wrapping up soon.
