NBA star James Harden sued for alleged negligence in sexual assault case

NBA球星James Harden被控告在一個性侵案中有過失

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden has been accused of negligence in a
civil complaint filed in Harris County, Texas, that also includes allegations
of sexual assault against Harden’s nephew, Justice Armani Blackburn.

The complaint, which was filed on Monday, derives from actions that are
alleged to have occurred at Harden’s New Year’s party at his home in
Houston. The plaintiff, Marisa Watley, alleges that Blackburn raped her at
the party while she was unconcious. Watley also alleges negligence against
Harden due to the conduct of his in-home security staff on the morning of New
Year’s Day.

洛杉磯快艇後衛James Harden在一個於德州哈里斯郡的一起民事官司中被控告有過失，這
之中還包含了指控Harden外甥Justice Armani Blackburn性侵的案件。

這起星期一提告的訴訟是起因於在Harden在他休士頓的家舉辦的新年派對。原告Marisa
Watley指控Blackburn在派對中在她沒有意識時強姦她。Watley也同時指控Harden因為他雇
用的屋內保全在新年的早上毫無作為。

The lawsuit, which was obtained by The Athletic, was filed with the Harris
County District Clerk. Watley demands a jury trial and economic, compensatory
and punitive damages, according to the lawsuit. Harden’s representatives
declined to comment on the lawsuit when contacted by The Athletic on Monday.

The lawsuit says that Harden is “vicariously liable for the actions of his
guards and their corporate employer,” who were also named defendants in the
case.

這起官司已向哈里斯郡地方法院登記提出。根據訴狀內容，原告 Watley 要求陪審團審判
，並尋求經濟賠償、補償性損害賠償以及懲罰性損害賠償。

該訴訟指出，Harden對其保全人員及其所屬公司(同樣被列為共同被告)的行為應負間接責
任。Harden 的代表在週一被聯繫時，對此訴訟拒絕發表評論。

Watley and two of her friends, listed as witnesses with the pseudonyms of
Jane and Emily in the complaint, attended the New Year’s party after a night
out at a gentleman’s club in Houston, according to the lawsuit. Upon
learning of an after-party at Harden’s residence, Watley and her friends
took an Uber to the home. The three women were invited into Harden’s “studio
” upon arrival, according to the suit, where Blackburn approached them and
offered them a drink from a bottle. They subsequently passed out.



Watley’s memory then became “extremely hazy,” and she recalls Blackburn
urgently wanting her to join him somewhere. Watley next remembers being “
shocked into consciousness” during the assault, during which she was “in a
dream-like state” and “not fully awake,” according to the complaint.

Watley的意識隨後變得"非常模糊"。她回憶Blackburn急忙地要求他陪他去一個地方。她下
一段記憶是"在襲擊過程中突然清醒"，當時她處於"夢遊般的狀態"，"沒有完全清醒"。

Watley says her friends were later removed by Harden’s security, though
Watley was still inside the residence. The friends then contacted Watley’s
sister, who then, through a friend, contacted Harden’s sister, who is the
mother of Blackburn. The lawsuit says the sister submitted a photo of Watley
to Harden’s security, who, according to the complaint, then lied and said
the woman inside the house was not Watley.

Watley說她的朋友接下來被Harden的保全趕走，即使Watley還在Harden家中。她的朋友隨
後透過其他朋友聯絡了Harden的姊姊，也就是Blackburn的媽媽。Harden姊姊隨後給了
Harden的保全一張照片，保全說謊並說屋內的女性不是Watley。

After being escorted out of the mansion and denied in their efforts to get
back inside and look for their friend, Jane and Emily saw Harden driving out
through the gates. The complaint alleges that shortly before Harden’s exit,
there were at least three women passed out in plain sight within the house,
with Watley passed out in a bedroom. It also alleges that an additional group
of women was ejected from the home about the time Harden left.



“Since New Year’s Day, when I reported the rape by Mr. Blackburn to the
police, I have remained puzzled by how Mr. Harden’s security behaved that
day — it is painful to imagine that this all could have been stopped in time,
” Watley said in a statement. “I hope this complaint pushes security
employees generally to act more responsibly when women are in danger.”



“Ms. Watley has shown great strength and courage in coming forward to hold
Mr. Blackburn and Mr. Harden accountable for what happened to her on New Year
’s Day 2025 in Mr. Harden’s mansion,” Watley’s attorneys Michael J.
Willemin and John S. Crain, of Wigdor LLP, and Jay Ellwanger and Kaylyn
Betts, of Ellwanger Henderson, said in a statement. “This rape was
immediately reported to the police, and we will bring Mr. Blackburn and Mr.
Harden to justice through the civil justice system.”

Watley的律師團隊(來自Wigdor LLP的Michael J. Willemin與John S. Crain，以及
Ellwanger Henderson的Jay Ellwanger與Kaylyn Betts)則在聲明中說："Watley 展現了極


Harden, 35, is an 11-time All-Star who just finished his second season with
the Clippers.

現年35歲的Harden是11次全明星並剛完成他在快艇效力的第二年。
