HOUSTON (FOX 26)
The Atlanta, Ga. Police Department declined to press charges of child abuse
against Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard.
Howard's ex-girlfriend, Royce Reed, alleged last year Howard beat his then
six-year old son with a belt causing bruises and abrasions.
"I can confirm we are not moving forward with charges in this case," said
Sgt. Gregory Lyon, in an email to FOX 26 Sports.
乔治亚州亚特兰大的警方已经取消对火箭队球星-Dwight Howard虐待儿童的指控。
Howard的前女友Royce Reed，宣称去年Howard用皮带殴打他当时六岁的儿子，造成擦伤和
瘀青。
"我可以证实在这个案件上，我们是毫无进展，"警长Gregory Lyo在一封写给FOX 26的
e-mail中透露。
Howard's attorney, David Oscar Markus, is pleased with the decision."We are
gratified that the Atlanta Police Department, after fully examining the
frivolous allegations against Dwight Howard, has closed the case and decided
not to proceed with charges," said Markus in a statement to FOX 26 Sports.
"Dwight Howard will continue to act in the best interest of his children and
do whatever is necessary to protect their welfare."
DwightHoward的律师David Oscar Markus很满意这个结果。"我们对亚特兰大警方感到满
意，经过完整的调查这些对于Dwight Howard的疯狂指控后，已经结束这个案子并且不再
继续控诉。" Markus向FOX 26的声明中如此表示。"Howard将会继续以孩子的最佳利益为
前提去行事，并且去做所有能保障他们福利的事情。"
The Florida Department of Children and Families originally investigated the
allegations and did not find evidence of child abuse.
TMZ reported in January Cobb County in Georgia also looked into the
allegations, but determined the alleged incident took place in Fulton County,
with the Atlanta Police Department taking over the investigation.
起初，由佛罗里达儿童家庭属起初调查这个指控，但并没有找到任何关于虐待儿童的证据
。
知名八卦网站TMZ报导，一月时乔治亚州科布郡同样进行调查这项指控，但判断这项指控
发生在富尔顿县，于是与亚特兰大警方接手调查。
