Condoms Allegedly Linked To Detroit Lion Rape Claim
Scotty Anderson Cleared On Accusations
Prosecutors said Anderson (pictured, left) had sex with Milburn's friend and discarded condoms on his bedroom floor. Milburn picked up the used condoms and planned to use the contents to substantiate her rape claim, Local 4 reported.
Wayne County Prosecutor Mike Duggan said Milburn was not raped in September and never had sex with Anderson. Witnesses at the apartment supported Anderson's claims that he did not have sex with Milburn, the station reported.
"We are going to make a point in this office to start to prosecute aggressively anybody who makes a false police report," Duggan said.
Milburn is expected to turn herself in over the next day or two for arraignment, Duggan said at a news conference. She reportedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment.
"We are seeing more and more of people's reputations being tarnished with false felony reports," Duggan said. "This also hurts every woman who is raped and goes through that trauma because it causes other women to pause and wonder if they're going to be believed when they see somebody who is caught being a liar."
Milburn (pictured, right) is also accused of stealing $700 from Anderson, Local 4 reported. Police and prosecutors said they recovered the money in her car and she will not face charges for the stolen cash.
Milburn reportedly faces felony charges with a minimum penalty of no jail time and a maximum of four years. Prosecutors are pushing for jail time, the station reported.
Anderson was placed on the injured reserve list Nov. 17 after he sustained a high ankle sprain in the Lions 35-14 loss in Seattle a day earlier. Before being put on IR, Anderson was leading the Lions with 325 yards receiving.
In May, Anderson and his brother were stabbed outside a Houston nightclub. Anderson escaped the assault with relatively minor shoulder wounds, but his brother, Stevie, a former NFL wide receiver, lost a lot of blood with a severe thigh wound. Both have recovered well.
Anderson also was the victim of a carjacking in Jan. 2002, when authorities say a woman lured Anderson and his cousin to a Louisiana parking lot where others laid in wait with guns to carjack him.
A high-tech security system directed police to the customized Cadillac DTS' location, a remote area in the Cade community. It still was being stripped when police arrived.
Anderson said in August before the season started that he was determined to put those things behind him and concentrate on football.
