Judge Orders Stefon Diggs to Explain How He Knows Sexual Assault Accuser
A judge has asked free agent NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs to explain how he knows the man accusing him of sexual assault.
Diggs, 32, had previously referred to Christopher Blake Griffith as an "acquaintance," prompting the judge to demand a "truthful, complete and non-evasive response," according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Griffith is accusing the former New England Patriots star of sexually assaulting him during a 2023 incident following a basketball game that the two attended. Griffith claims after the game, the two went back to Diggs' home, where Diggs allegedly gave him candy "laced with drugs," then assaulted him, per a police report.
A week later, Griffith says that Diggs' brother assaulted him outside of his apartment, causing serious injury.
Diggs has denied the allegations against him and filed a libel suit against Griffith in 2025, accusing him of spreading the allegations "for clout and attention."
"Mr. Griffith is looking forward to showing the world in Court that regardless of the fairy tale fabricated by Mr. Diggs' high-priced New York Lawyers, he is the victim of Mr. Diggs' unwanted sexual advances and his brother's violent attacks," Griffith's attorney, Jake Lebowitz, said in a statement at the time.
The judge has also asked Diggs to clarify his interactions with Griffith at the time of the alleged incident and who else was with them at his home when the assault is said to have occurred. Diggs does not, however, have to answer questions about prior possession or distribution of controlled substances.
Diggs' case comes on the heels of him being found not guilty of assault against his former personal chef, who accused him of strangling her during a dispute over unpaid wages in December 2025. A jury deliberated for approximately 90 minutes before delivering their verdict on May 5.
"The evidence has shown what we've maintained from day one: Mr. Diggs was wrongly accused, and this case represents exactly the kind of opportunistic targeting that players can face the moment they step off the field," Diggs' attorney, Mitch Schuster, said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press at the time.
After the verdict, Diggs' accuser, Mila Adams, took to Instagram where she further alleged that the Pro Bowler abused girlfriend Cardi B while she was pregnant.
"The way he treated you when you were pregnant, the way he talked to you when you were pregnant," she said in a May 11 video. "The way that the same people that [have] defended him in this, know how he treated you while you were pregnant and how he was to you while you were pregnant will always be something I will never understand."
She continued, "The way he treated you in the delivery room, the way he treated you after the baby. The same person that abused you abused me. And our text messages show how he belittled you, how he spoke to you." Cardi has not yet addressed Adams' claims.
