Dwight Howard is currently facing a civil lawsuit that accuses him of sexual assault and battery against a man he admits to having hooked up with. In a document filed to the court, Howard admits to engaging in “consensual sexual activity” with the accuser, Stephen Harper, in July 2021.
The lawsuit was filed in July and claims that the two men had been talking for a few months through Instagram direct messages. Harper alleges that Howard asked for explicit photos and videos, which he complied with. He then invited Harper to his home in Georgia on July 19th.
The suit claims that when Harper arrived, Howard surprised him with another man dressed as a woman who went by the name Kitty. Harper claims that Howard attempted to force him into a threesome, which he declined. He also alleges that Howard then grabbed him by the thighs and performed oral sex on him without his consent.
Harper further states that Howard only stopped when he realized that Harper was not enjoying the act. Howard also arranged for Kitty to drive Harper home. Howard denies Harper’s allegations, claiming that the lawsuit was only filed after he blocked Harper on social media and rejected his demands for money. He is asking the courts to dismiss the lawsuit.
Howard has not played in the NBA since the 2021-22 season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He is an eight-time All-Star and three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. He spent the early part of the year playing basketball overseas in Taiwan. Although the current lawsuit is concerning, it does not change the fact that Howard is a respected athlete.
