Michael Lev Attorneys for Jayden de Laura said the Arizona quarterback never pleaded guilty nor was convicted of sexual assault in a 2018 case resolved in juvenile court in Hawaii.In the civil suit, de Laura and a high school teammate were accused of raping a teen-aged girl after a championship football game in Hawaii. The suit states that de Laura “eventually” pleaded guilty in juvenile court to second-degree sexual assault.
“While we are unable to release details of the case, it is important to correct misinformation that has been reported. What we can share is that reports that Jayden pled guilty and was convicted of sexual assault are not accurate. An attorney for de Laura did not return the Star's phone calls last week seeking comment, and the statement issued a week later was the first made publicly about the case on the quarterback's behalf.
According to the lawsuit, de Laura summoned the girl to the stairwell of a parking structure, where the boys demanded she “engage in sex with the two of them simultaneously, immediately.” When she refused, the lawsuit states, de Laura and Latu “physically overpowered” her and forced sex acts on her.
