- Texans owner Javier Loya is accused of first-degree rape and sexual abuse in Kentucky.
- Loya’s attorney declares his innocence, denies charges, and vows a strong defense.
- Loya faced a previous investigation in 2008 over gambling and stayed with the Texans.
Houston Texans owner Javier Loya is accused of a rape case in Kentucky and is presently confronting charges. Loya faces accusations in Jefferson County, Kentucky, involving one count of first-degree rape, five counts of first-degree sexual abuse, and one instance of third-degree sexual abuse. The alleged assault reportedly took place in May, although the specific date remains uncertain.
Andrew J. Sarne, the lead attorney representing Loya, stated in an announcement, “Mr. Loya is innocent and has pled not guilty to all charges. He unequivocally and categorically denies these allegations and will vigorously defend his innocence.”
It’s worth mentioning that this isn’t the first instance of an inquiry involving Loya. Back in 2008, a gambling investigation was conducted on the minority owner. However, the investigation yielded limited outcomes, and he was allowed to remain associated with the Texans.
