A cousin from Le’veon Bell received $ 25 million after she said that the former NFL star sexually assaulted her for approximately a decade, starting when she was a child.
In a March 2024 claim presented at Franklin County, Ohio, the cousin said that Bell began to have incestuous relations with her without her consent when she was around 6 years old, and continued until she turned 18 in 2017.
TMZ, citing judicial documents, reported that the woman received millions in a sentence two weeks ago.

“My client firmly denies each and every one of the accusations that have been filed against him. In addition, he never received a civil complaint or any document,” said Bell’s lawyer, Thomas W. Shaffer, in a statement to TMZ.
“The predetermined sentence granted was based on the violations of their rights of the fifth amendment of due process for not being delivered. My client is in the process of presenting a motion to open and reverse the default judgment because the merits of the case have never been litigated.”
Bell led the Twitch transmission platform to maintain his innocence even more.
