Former NFL's Vernon Davis Faces Assault Charges

Former NFL tight end Vernon Davis faces assault and battery charges after a woman accused him of physically attacking her during arguments at his home last year, including one incident involving her pregnancy. A criminal complaint detailing the allegations was filed on January 8, leading to an arrest warrant, with Davis scheduled to appear in court next month.

The primary incident occurred on May 31 at Davis's residence, where the woman, who was pregnant and in a relationship with him, claimed the two argued about her pregnancy. According to the complaint, Davis struck her with books and magazines he retrieved from under his television. She alleged that he offered her $10,000 to terminate the pregnancy. The altercation reportedly ended when she began recording him on her phone.

One week later, on June 7, the woman said another dispute arose after she accused Davis of lying to her. She claimed he slapped her across the face and told her not to question him. Later that evening, she recorded an audio conversation in which Davis allegedly said, "If I really slapped you, your face would be blue black."

The complaint also references a prior physical encounter shortly before the May 31...
