Josh Jacobs’ attorneys respond as NFL reviews new allegations
Attorneys describe investigation
Jacobs’ attorneys said the Brown County District Attorney’s office and police conducted an extensive investigation. They said prosecutors determined that two misdemeanor charges were warranted and reached a plea agreement with Jacobs.
The lawyers described the other allegations as old, uncorroborated and previously unreported. They said Jacobs has repeatedly shown remorse and is complying with the agreement.
