Former San Antonio Spurs player Joshua Primo now the focus of police investigation
Recently released San Antonio Spurs talent Joshua Primo is not only being sued by a woman accusing him of sexual misconduct, but he is now also under investigation by local authorities.
On Friday night, ESPN reported that officials from the Bexar County Police Department had officially opened up an investigation into allegations made by Dr. Hillary Cauthen, a former therapist for the San Antonio Spurs organization.
In a lawsuit Cauthen filed against the team and Primo earlier this week, she claims the 12th overall pick in last year’s NBA draft exposed his genitals nine different times during multiple counseling sessions over the last year.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office informed the Associated Press that they were in contact with Cauthen and a “preliminary investigation” into her accusations had begun.
At the end of October, the team shockingly released the 19-year-old prospect after just 54 games played for the organization. Little information was revealed on the surprise decision that came just two weeks after exercising his third-year option.
