Kristaps Porzingis Is Being Investigated For Allegedly Raping A Woman Hours After He Tore His ACL In 2018

NY Post- Hours after suffering a devastating knee injury at Madison Square Garden last year, former Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis came home and allegedly raped a neighbor he’d invited to his luxe Manhattan penthouse, the woman told police, according to law enforcement sources.

The woman made her stunning allegation against the 23-year-old player on Thursday afternoon — and investigators consider her credible, one high-ranking NYPD source told The Post. The accuser is “believable,” the source said, despite her not reporting the alleged attack until over a year later, and her admission to cops that she discussed getting $68,000 in hush money from the multi-millionaire baller.

The alleged attack happened Feb. 7, 2018 at the soaring Sky building in Midtown West, the woman told cops at the 10th Precinct stationhouse, the sources told The Post. The woman — who is in her 20s and also lived in the building — told cops the NBA star visited her apartment at around 2 a.m., and that she accepted his invitation to go back to his posh pad. Once inside, the towering, 7-foot-3 Latvian allegedly held her down and raped her, she told cops, according to sources.

The woman told cops she waited over a year to talk to police because Porzingis allegedly promised to give her money to keep her quiet, the sources said. She told cops Porzingis promised to give her $68,000 to pay for her brother’s college tuition, but then reneged, the sources said.

What the hell?!? I was driving to a get together when I noticed my phone getting lit up like a Christmas tree with people texting things like Porzingis followed by things like “Wow” or “What the fuck?”. But I have to admit, seeing the word “Rape” next to his name was something I did not see coming in the least.

Now obviously there’s going to be a thorough investigatoon into everything in an extremely delicate case that involves hush money and a huge name. But this is one of those stories that just makes you feel sick to your stomach, no matter what happens. Raping someone in general is something I can’t even register in my brain, let alone doing something so heinous hours after you tore your ACL. Hopefully the NYPD can figure out exactly what happened that awful night and justice will be served.
