Stefon Diggs Expected in Court as Jury Selection Begins in Assault Trial in Dedham, Massachusetts
The former New England Patriots wide receiver has pleaded not guilty as prosecutors present assault and strangulation charges that could bring felony and misdemeanor penalties.
- Former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs appears in Dedham, Massachusetts, on Monday as jury selection begins in his assault trial. Judge Jeanmarie Carroll will oversee selection of 12 jurors.
- The charges stem from a December 2, 2025, incident at Diggs' Dedham home, where his personal chef alleged he struck her and "tried to choke using the crook of his elbow around her neck" during a dispute over unpaid wages.
- Diggs' attorney stated he "categorically denies these allegations," calling them unsubstantiated and motivated by financial dispute. Prosecutors plan to call the chef and a police officer as witnesses.
- Opening statements are expected Tuesday as Judge Carroll oversees jury selection. The trial could extend into midweek, with the case involving both felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges.
- Diggs remains a free agent after the Patriots released him in March following a 1,000-yard season. The trial outcome could significantly impact his future in the NFL.
