MEGA

Josh Jacobs’s legal troubles are drawing fresh attention after newly released police records revealed allegations involving three additional women. The accounts describe alleged incidents dating back to 2021, including claims of physical violence, a death threat, and a warning about deportation that one woman says kept her from contacting authorities.

The allegations surfaced in records connected to the investigation into the Packers running back’s May arrest. That case ended with misdemeanor no-contest pleas in September, but the additional accounts raise separate questions as the NFL continues its investigation.

According to NBC 26, the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department’s redacted records detail allegations involving three other women following the May incident with Jacobs’s then-girlfriend. The women described separate encounters that allegedly occurred in April 2021, January 2022, and May 2022.

One woman reportedly contacted investigators because the allegations surrounding Jacobs’s May arrest reminded her of her own experience, and she wanted police to take his then-girlfriend’s account seriously.

The woman describing the January 2022 encounter alleged that Jacobs became angry after she declined to have sex with him. According to the reporting, she accused him of slapping her face, throwing her onto a bed and later onto the floor, grabbing her throat, and spitting on her. She also alleged that he took her phone.

During the encounter, Jacobs allegedly told her, “I should kill you right now,” according to the Associated Press account cited in the report.

The woman said they had communicated through Instagram for approximately six months before meeting.

She reportedly did not initially want to report the alleged incident and continued speaking with Jacobs afterward. Her account later became part of the material reviewed by Wisconsin investigators.

• In her memoir, Sharon Stone reflected on her family’s dark history of abuse.
• Details of the childhood abuse suffered by a Weezer star’s wife surfaced after a police shootout.

Another Woman Describes An Alleged 2021 Altercation

A second woman told police that Jacobs grabbed her arms and biceps, pushed her against a wall, and threw her belongings outside during an April 2021 encounter.

According to the reporting, she said the confrontation followed a sexual encounter during which a condom broke. She allegedly told Jacobs that he needed to get tested for sexually transmitted infections. The woman claimed she experienced bruising, pain, and swelling near her ribs.

She also said she contacted police at the time but was told the incident was not being handled as a domestic violence case because they were not a couple.

The records also detailed her earlier calls to police, but responding officers reported seeing no visible injuries.

According to NBC 26, officers responding to the 2021 incident reported that they did not observe physical marks “consistent with a physical altercation.” The records reportedly noted no visible injuries, bruising, or damage supporting a physical confrontation.

Third Woman Says Fear Of Deportation Kept Her Silent

A third account concerned an alleged encounter in May 2022. According to the outlet, Jacobs flew the woman to his home after they connected through social media. She alleged that he put his hands around her head and neck area, dragged her, scratched her, and took her phone.

The woman claimed she had bruising on an arm and scratches on her chest that remained visible for a month. She reportedly did not seek medical treatment or contact police at the time.

According to NBC 26, she alleged that Jacobs told her she could be deported if she reported him.

Jacobs Previously Pleaded No Contest In The May Case

The additional allegations emerged in records tied to the investigation that followed a May 23 disturbance complaint involving Jacobs and his then-girlfriend. She accused him of throwing her to the ground and injuring her. He was arrested three days later.

On September 10, Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. He later returned to the Packers after beginning the season on the commissioner’s exempt list. Addressing his return, he acknowledged the impact on his team.

“I can’t get into a lot of things, like specifics of things, but obviously I’m remorseful and sorry for putting this team in this situation,” he said, according to The Athletic. “Sometimes when you go through life, situations occur, and a four-second, three-second decision can alter your life, honestly.”

The NFL’s investigation remains ongoing.
