Stefon Diggs Charged with Felony Strangulation & Assault, ‘Categorically Denies’ Allegations
Stefon Diggs has a lot more than playoffs to worry about in the coming months.
Stefon Diggs is facing charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. According to CBS Boston, this is in connection to an incident that happened on Dec. 2.
Diggs’ attorneys appeared in court on Tuesday, Dec. 30 after paperwork was filed in Dedham District County Court.
The New England Patriots star is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, Jan. 23 for his arraignment—just two days before the AFC Championship Game.
“The New England Patriots are aware of the accusations that have been made regarding Stefon Diggs,” the Patriots said in a statement. “Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary. Out of respect for all parties involved, and given that this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.”
This news comes as New England prepares to finish off its 2025 regular season at home against the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots already clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs by winning the AFC East, and could still capture the No. 1 seed if they beat Miami and the Denver Broncos lose to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Diggs is currently in the first year of a three-year contract with the Pats worth $69 million.
