Police close controversial case involving Thunder’s Josh Giddey

Young Australian point guard from the Oklahoma City team was being investigated for alleged relationship with a minor

The Australian shipowner from Oklahoma City Thunder, Josh Giddey, is officially released from the controversy that threatened the future of his career, which put the player in the police’s sights. The department of Newport Beach announced the end of investigations into the athlete’s relationship with a minor, concluding that the number 3 will not be the target of charges, closing the case once and for all.

“After an exhaustive analysis, we have completed the investigation into the information that circulated on social media involving Josh. Our detectives analyzed all the evidence, but were unable to prove any criminal activity. We are committed to the veracity of public data, as well as guaranteeing the rights of those involved”officials from the California.

The closure of the case without progress can be considered a victory for the shipowner of the Australia. However, it was defined, mainly, by the conduct of the other party involved in the controversy. According to the North American gossip website, “TMZ”, the investigation was unable to find ways to progress due to the unwillingness of the young woman and her family to collaborate. Her parents even hired a famous lawyer to guarantee their right to remain silent.

It is worth noting that Giddey was not initially cleared of the charges. The behavior of the girl’s family, however, supports the allegations that the shipowner was the victim of a mistake. Firstly, it was alleged that the young woman lied about her age to get into the nightclub where the two met. Furthermore, she kept up the charade so she could have a relationship with the Australian.

The NBA received the news with double relief. In addition to avoiding damage to the league’s image, it endorses the conduct of relative support given to the player. “I don’t remember many episodes where we suspended a player because of allegations. In other words, without facts proven through evidence. So, in principle, here we have an allegation under investigation by the police. And, in parallel, we conducted our own research. This is the state of the case and, for now, we are not going to make any decisions yet. This is how we work”, said the commissioner Adam Silver.
