KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The woman who accused Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy of attacking her last week, resulting in a case in which the district attorney has declined to pursue charges, has been granted a protective order against him by a Texas judge.
Attorneys for Tia Jones confirmed the order in a statement to The Associated Press on Wednesday night. They added that Jones is "fully cooperating with law enforcement as they continue to actively investigate the violence that occurred."
"Ms. Jones has chosen to use her voice to speak up for herself," said Angelica Cogliano, who is representing the woman along with attorneys Addy Miro, Leslie Booker and Deniz Kadirhan.
