Former Cincinnati Bengals Chinedum Ndukwe Sues Woman For Extortion After She Sued Him For Alleged Sexual Assault

Former Cincinnati Bengals safety Chinedum Ndukwe is in the process of suing a woman for allegedly attempting to extort him, while the same woman says that she’s the victim, and has filed a lawsuit of her own claiming that he sexually assaulted her.

Reports say the woman going by Jane Doe, was reportedly an intern at Ndukwe’s real estate and development firm, Kingsley and Company. She says her former boss, Nkdukwe, tried to force himself on her on August 22. “He just like keep grabbing me, holding me close to his face and kept trying to make out with me. He put his hand in my shirt and started touching on my stomach and licking on my chest and my stomach,” said Jane Doe.

She alleges that in between a series of meetings on her last day of work, the former Bengals player smacked her on the butt, began forcibly groping and kissing her. “He just kept fussing with my belt, kept trying to get it loose and then finally he forced his hand in my pants,” Jane Doe adds.

She says that she tried to fight him off but was unsuccessful because he’s strong. A police report was filed by the woman on August 24, two days after the alleged attack and her attorneys filed a civil lawsuit on September 19.

Meanwhile, Ndukwe’s attorney fired back the same day by filing a lawsuit on his behalf, claiming the woman and her husband were extorting him. Ndukwe alleges that Jane Doe and her attorney threatened to lie and go public with a false sexual assault claim unless he paid her $10 million, which Jane Doe’s attorney denies.

One of the woman’s attorneys claims Ndukwe had given the woman $1,000 in $100 bills “in hopes of buying her off.”

Ndukwe released a statement saying he will, “vigorously fight these false claims to prove my innocence.”

No charges have been filed against Ndukwe.
