Prosecutor says tipster was erotic pen pal to Aaron Hernandez

The anonymous tipster who accused one of Aaron Hernandez’s jurors of lying to secure a place on the jury had an “ongoing sexually explicit relationship” with the former New England tight end before and during his murder trial, prosecutors said.

FALL RIVER, Mass. – The anonymous tipster who accused one of Aaron Hernandez’s jurors of lying to secure a place on the jury had an “ongoing sexually explicit relationship” with the former New England Patriots tight end before and during his murder trial, prosecutors said Monday.

In a court filing, Bristol County Assistant District Attorney William McCauley characterized the woman as an erotic pen pal to Hernandez and challenged the credibility of her claims about one of the jurors who voted to convict Hernandez of first-degree murder this year.
