Report: Smith child abuse investigation 'sexual in nature'

This is rather troubling. In what could be yet another scandal around the NFL world, it’s being reported that the child abuse investigation surrounding Denver Broncos defensive end Antonio Smith is “sexual in nature.”

Per Mike Klis of The Denver Post:

“According to the Fort Bend County (Texas) Sheriff’s Office, the child abuse investigation of Broncos defensive lineman Antonio Smith is sexual in nature.”

It was reported earlier on Thursday that Smith was being investigated by the Fort Bend Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division in Texas. At that point, there was no information available regarding the investigation being sexual in nature.
