TL;DR

Former NBA star Dwight Howard has denied allegations of sexual assault and battery filed against him and has requested the dismissal of a civil lawsuit in Georgia. In court documents, Howard claimed that the sexual activity in question was consensual and that he did not cause any injury to the accuser. The accuser's lawyers maintain that their client did not consent to the encounter. The lawsuit also includes allegations of intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment, which Howard denies. Howard's attorneys argue that the accusations were made public for profit and that he intends to present the truth in court. The accuser went to the police a year after the incident, but no charges were filed.
