Ben McLemore Faces Multiple Sex Crime Charges, Asserts Innocence

Former NBA player Ben McLemore, charged with rape and sexual assault, claims he did not commit the alleged crimes and expresses frustration over the handling of his case.

Ben McLemore, formerly of the NBA, has been charged with first-degree rape and other sex crimes stemming from a 2021 incident in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
McLemore was arrested upon his return to the U.S. and has been released on bail, with a court appearance scheduled for early July.
In a public statement, McLemore strongly denied the accusations, stating he has never pursued a non-consensual sexual relationship.
The investigation was delayed due to McLemore's overseas basketball commitments in China, Greece, and Spain.
McLemore's legal team is currently reviewing the case, while he maintains his innocence and cooperation with law enforcement.
