Isaiah Bond files lawsuit against sexual assault accuser

NFL draft prospect and former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond has filed a federal lawsuit against the woman who accused him of sexual assault, alleging defamation, false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Bond, who turned himself in to police and was released on bond, maintains that the encounter was consensual and claims he was targeted for financial gain by a woman eight years his senior. His legal team has communicated to all NFL teams that the accusations are false and that Bond is cooperating fully with authorities. The lawsuit seeks to prevent the accuser from labeling Bond a sex criminal and requests monetary damages. The timing of these allegations, coming just before the NFL Draft, has placed Bond’s professional prospects in jeopardy, with uncertainty about how teams will evaluate him amid ongoing investigations. Bond’s agents insist he is innocent and determined to clear his name.
