Buffalo Bills star running back LeSean McCoy has been sued by his ex-girlfriend and her best friend over the alleged assault that took place at his house in July.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Delicia Cordon and Elizabeth Donald each filed suit against McCoy and Tamarcus Jerod Porter, McCoy's best friend and personal assistant.
The women claim they were asleep when an assailant entered the home at around 3:00 AM without forcible entry. Cordon claims she went to go check on her son when "the assailant chased Ms. Cordon back into the master bedroom and began to assault her by beating her in the face with a handgun."
Cordon claims the assailant held her at gunpoint and demanded specific articles of jewelry purchased by McCoy. She also says the assailant said that he knew McCoy.
In her suit, Cordon claims the assailant was having difficulty removing one of the Cartier bracelets from her wrist, so he struck her in the back of the head with his firearm and demanded that Donald assist Cordon in removing the bracelet.
Ultimately, Cordon says the assailant cut the bracelet from her wrist with wire cutters. Once the assailant secured some of the jewelry, he asked for money, put Donald and Cordon in an upstairs room, and vacated the home.
Cordon claims the assailant made off with $130,000 in jewelry.
Because the home was owned by McCoy, Cordon and Donald claim he breached his duty to use ordinary care to protect them from dangerous activities being conducted at the home. They claim he changed the security system and prevented Cordon's access to it and "effectively left [Cordon] and her minor children defenseless in their own home."
Cordon and Donald, in their respective lawsuits, do not directly accuse LeSean McCoy of ordering the attack or engaging in it in any way.
Both lawsuits are seeking unspecified damages.
