Warriors forward Anthony Lamb raped a woman in 2019, a new civil suit alleges.
. But she has not publicly named Lamb before. An anonymous Instagram account had previously named Lamb, but the lawsuit is the first time Ware has done so.“We checked with the NBA, we checked with the two teams that had prior signed him and didn't hear anything as far as official charges or anything like that,”. “It’s tough because we take that very seriously.” Myers added that if the NBA had told the Warriors not to sign Lamb, they would have listened to the league office.
"Anthony is not a defendant in this recent lawsuit and, to our knowledge, he has never been charged with any wrongdoing in any legal case," the Warriors said in a statement to SFGATE on Thursday."Prior to signing Anthony in September, we did our due diligence with the NBA and his prior teams, as we do with all players. If any new information comes to light, we will certainly evaluate it and act accordingly.
Earlier this year, the University of Vermont rejected a public records request from SFGATE, citing attorney-client privilege and state laws exempting “student records and personal documents.”In the suit, Ware says she dated Lamb for six months in 2019. Shortly after the pair had ended their relationship in September of that year, Lamb “began screaming and insulting Ware” at an off-campus party. The pair went into a bedroom at the party, where Lamb raped Ware, she says.
“In the process of discussing their relationship and making up from the fight, Lamb began to have sex with Ware,” the suit says. “During the encounter, without Ware's consent, Lamb forcefully anally penetrated Ware as she repeatedly pleaded with him to stop, telling him ‘no’ over and over. Ignoring her unequivocal demands, he told her to ‘just take it’ and continued to rape her.”
