Yasiel Puig Facing Sexual-Assault Allegations
4 years agoMajor League Baseball investigators recently interviewed a woman who said free-agent outfielder Yasiel Puig sexually assaulted her in a Staples Center bathroom, but she hasn't taken further steps due to her desire to remain anonymous while awaiting further evidence to emerge, according to an MLB source. The 30-year-old Puig remains without a team with the start of the season just weeks away, and part of that reason is due to the allegation. The woman sued Puig last October but didn't file a police report, and Puig hasn't been charged with a crime. He has denied the allegations in a court filing. "Nobody wants the headache," a front-office source told ESPN. It remains to be seen what will come of these allegations, but it doesn't look good for a 30-year-old free agent trying to find work.
