The judge heard arguments from both sides including on Howard’s motion for summary judgment in the case.
In his motion, Howard argued that all claims should be dismissed. He claimed his interactions with Harper were consensual and he did not commit sexual assault.
Howard submitted a series of text messages that he claimed Harper sent after the alleged assault — that showed Harper asking to hang out again.
Harper disputed the authenticity of the messages.
Despite Howard’s plea, the judge presiding over the case denied his motion to dismiss the case. The order said, “[Howard] also moves for summary judgment, arguing that all sexual activity in the suit was consensual. In response, [Harper] submits affidavit and other evidence raising triable issues of material facts.”
The order said, “Therefore, this court HEREBY DENIES [Howard’s] motion for summary judgment.”
As a result, Howard and Harper will not prepare for trial in the case.
All the best to Dwight Howard and his lawyers as the sexual assault lawsuit is now headed to trial after his attempt to get it dismissed proved futile.
