Le'veon Bell's cousin was awarded $25 million after the former NFL star allegedly sexually assaulted her for about a decade since she was a child.
In a March 2024 lawsuit filed in Franklin County, Ohio, the cousin alleged that Bell began having an incest relationship without consent at around the age of six, and continued until he was 18 in 2017.
TMZ reported that the woman had been awarded millions in the ruling two weeks ago, citing court documents.

“My client has firmly denied all allegations filed against him. Moreover, he was never entrusted with civil complaints or documents,” Bell's lawyer, Thomas W. Schaffer, said in a statement to TMZ.

Bell went to Twitch, a streaming platform, to keep his innocence even further.
