Watley demands a jury trial and economic, compensatory and punitive damages, according to the lawsuit. Harden’s representatives declined to comment on the lawsuit when contacted by The Athletic on Monday. The lawsuit says that Harden is “vicariously liable for the actions of his guards and their corporate employer,” who were also named defendants in the case. 這起官司已向哈里斯郡地方法院登記提出。根據訴狀內容，原告 Watley 要求陪審團審判 ，並尋求經濟賠償、補償性損害賠償以及懲罰性損害賠償。 該訴訟指出，Harden對其保全人員及其所屬公司(同樣被列為共同被告)的行為應負間接責 任。Harden 的代表在週一被聯繫時，對此訴訟拒絕發表評論。 Watley and two of her friends, listed as witnesses with the pseudonyms of Jane and Emily in the complaint, attended the New Year’s party after a night out at a gentleman’s club in Houston, according to the lawsuit. Upon learning of an after-party at Harden’s residence, Watley and her friends took an Uber to the home. The three women were invited into Harden’s “studio ” upon arrival, according to the suit, where Blackburn approached them and offered them a drink from a bottle. They subsequently passed out. Watley與他的兩個匿名為Jane與Emily的朋友在他們晚上去一個在休士頓的俱樂部之後參加 了這個新年派對。他們在聽說了Harden家有一個派對之後，他們便叫了Uber去參加派對。 這三名女性抵達之後便被邀請至Harden的"套房"。當Blackburn接近他們並給他們從一瓶酒 給他們喝之後，他們都失去了意識。 Watley’s memory then became “extremely hazy,” and she recalls Blackburn urgently wanting her to join him somewhere. Watley next remembers being “ shocked into consciousness” during the assault, during which she was “in a dream-like state” and “not fully awake,” according to the complaint. Watley的意識隨後變得"非常模糊"。她回憶Blackburn急忙地要求他陪他去一個地方。她下 一段記憶是"在襲擊過程中突然清醒"，當時她處於"夢遊般的狀態"，"沒有完全清醒"。 Watley says her friends were later removed by Harden’s security, though Watley was still inside the residence. The friends then contacted Watley’s sister, who then, through a friend, contacted Harden’s sister, who is the mother of Blackburn. The lawsuit says the sister submitted a photo of Watley to Harden’s security, who, according to the complaint, then lied and said the woman inside the house was not Watley. Watley說她的朋友接下來被Harden的保全趕走，即使Watley還在Harden家中。她的朋友隨 後透過其他朋友聯絡了Harden的姊姊，也就是Blackburn的媽媽。Harden姊姊隨後給了 Harden的保全一張照片，保全說謊並說屋內的女性不是Watley。 After being escorted out of the mansion and denied in their efforts to get back inside and look for their friend, Jane and Emily saw Harden driving out through the gates. The complaint alleges that shortly before Harden’s exit, there were at least three women passed out in plain sight within the house, with Watley passed out in a bedroom. It also alleges that an additional group of women was ejected from the home about the time Harden left. 在被趕出豪宅並被保全拒絕回去找他們的朋友後，Jane與Emily看到Harden從大門開出來。 訴狀也指稱在Harden離開前，屋內至少還有三名女子明顯處於昏迷狀態，其中包括Watley ，她當時倒在一間臥室裡。另外還有一批女子則在Harden離開前後也被驅逐出屋。 “Since New Year’s Day, when I reported the rape by Mr. Blackburn to the police, I have remained puzzled by how Mr. Harden’s security behaved that day — it is painful to imagine that this all could have been stopped in time, ” Watley said in a statement. “I hope this complaint pushes security employees generally to act more responsibly when women are in danger.” Watley 在聲明中表示:"自從元旦當天我向警方報案Blackburn強暴我以來，我一直對 Harden的保全行為感到困惑——想像這一切原本有機會被及時阻止，真的很痛苦。我 希望這起訴訟能促使保全人員在女性面臨危險時能有更負責任的作為。" “Ms. Watley has shown great strength and courage in coming forward to hold Mr. Blackburn and Mr. Harden accountable for what happened to her on New Year ’s Day 2025 in Mr. Harden’s mansion,” Watley’s attorneys Michael J. Willemin and John S. Crain, of Wigdor LLP, and Jay Ellwanger and Kaylyn Betts, of Ellwanger Henderson, said in a statement. “This rape was immediately reported to the police, and we will bring Mr. Blackburn and Mr. Harden to justice through the civil justice system.” Watley的律師團隊(來自Wigdor LLP的Michael J. Willemin與John S. Crain，以及 Ellwanger Henderson的Jay Ellwanger與Kaylyn Betts)則在聲明中說："Watley 展現了極 大的勇氣站出來，要求Blackburn和Harden為2025年新年在Harden豪宅中對她造成的事負責 。這起強暴案在第一時間已報警處理，我們將透過民事司法途徑讓Blackburn和Harden接受 正義的審判。" Harden, 35, is an 11-time All-Star who just finished his second season with the Clippers. 現年35歲的Harden是11次全明星並剛完成他在快艇效力的第二年。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 71.212.151.52 (美國) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1750823891.A.EDD.html ※ 編輯: EZ78 (71.212.151.52 美國), 06/25/2025 11:58:59
