On Thursday, we learned that Denver Broncos defensive end Antonio Smith is being investigated for alleged child abuse. The local sheriff from the town where the complaint was filed later provided more detail.
Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told The Associated Press that the complaint was made in November and that it is “sexual in nature.”
While the accusation is obviously incredibly serious, it should be noted that no charges have been filed against Smith. The Broncos, who signed Smith to a one-year contract last month, said they are still learning more about the case.
