NBA star James Harden sued for alleged negligence in sexual assault case
NBA球星James Harden被控告在一个性侵案中有过失
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden has been accused of negligence in a
civil complaint filed in Harris County, Texas, that also includes allegations
of sexual assault against Harden’s nephew, Justice Armani Blackburn.
The complaint, which was filed on Monday, derives from actions that are
alleged to have occurred at Harden’s New Year’s party at his home in
Houston. The plaintiff, Marisa Watley, alleges that Blackburn raped her at
the party while she was unconcious. Watley also alleges negligence against
Harden due to the conduct of his in-home security staff on the morning of New
Year’s Day.
洛杉矶快艇后卫James Harden在一个于德州哈里斯郡的一起民事官司中被控告有过失，这
之中还包含了指控Harden外甥Justice Armani Blackburn性侵的案件。
这起星期一提告的诉讼是起因于在Harden在他休士顿的家举办的新年派对。原告Marisa
Watley指控Blackburn在派对中在她没有意识时强奸她。Watley也同时指控Harden因为他雇
用的屋内保全在新年的早上毫无作为。
The lawsuit, which was obtained by The Athletic, was filed with the Harris
County District Clerk. Watley demands a jury trial and economic, compensatory
and punitive damages, according to the lawsuit. Harden’s representatives
declined to comment on the lawsuit when contacted by The Athletic on Monday.
The lawsuit says that Harden is “vicariously liable for the actions of his
guards and their corporate employer,” who were also named defendants in the
case.
这起官司已向哈里斯郡地方法院登记提出。根据诉状内容，原告 Watley 要求陪审团审判
，并寻求经济赔偿、补偿性损害赔偿以及惩罚性损害赔偿。
该诉讼指出，Harden对其保全人员及其所属公司(同样被列为共同被告)的行为应负间接责
任。Harden 的代表在周一被联系时，对此诉讼拒绝发表评论。
Watley and two of her friends, listed as witnesses with the pseudonyms of
Jane and Emily in the complaint, attended the New Year’s party after a night
out at a gentleman’s club in Houston, according to the lawsuit. Upon
learning of an after-party at Harden’s residence, Watley and her friends
took an Uber to the home. The three women were invited into Harden’s “studio
” upon arrival, according to the suit, where Blackburn approached them and
offered them a drink from a bottle. They subsequently passed out.
Watley与他的两个匿名为Jane与Emily的朋友在他们晚上去一个在休士顿的俱乐部之后参加
了这个新年派对。他们在听说了Harden家有一个派对之后，他们便叫了Uber去参加派对。
这三名女性抵达之后便被邀请至Harden的"套房"。当Blackburn接近他们并给他们从一瓶酒
给他们喝之后，他们都失去了意识。
Watley’s memory then became “extremely hazy,” and she recalls Blackburn
urgently wanting her to join him somewhere. Watley next remembers being “
shocked into consciousness” during the assault, during which she was “in a
dream-like state” and “not fully awake,” according to the complaint.
Watley的意识随后变得"非常模糊"。她回忆Blackburn急忙地要求他陪他去一个地方。她下
一段记忆是"在袭击过程中突然清醒"，当时她处于"梦游般的状态"，"没有完全清醒"。
Watley says her friends were later removed by Harden’s security, though
Watley was still inside the residence. The friends then contacted Watley’s
sister, who then, through a friend, contacted Harden’s sister, who is the
mother of Blackburn. The lawsuit says the sister submitted a photo of Watley
to Harden’s security, who, according to the complaint, then lied and said
the woman inside the house was not Watley.
Watley说她的朋友接下来被Harden的保全赶走，即使Watley还在Harden家中。她的朋友随
后透过其他朋友联络了Harden的姊姊，也就是Blackburn的妈妈。Harden姊姊随后给了
Harden的保全一张照片，保全说谎并说屋内的女性不是Watley。
After being escorted out of the mansion and denied in their efforts to get
back inside and look for their friend, Jane and Emily saw Harden driving out
through the gates. The complaint alleges that shortly before Harden’s exit,
there were at least three women passed out in plain sight within the house,
with Watley passed out in a bedroom. It also alleges that an additional group
of women was ejected from the home about the time Harden left.
在被赶出豪宅并被保全拒绝回去找他们的朋友后，Jane与Emily看到Harden从大门开出来。
诉状也指称在Harden离开前，屋内至少还有三名女子明显处于昏迷状态，其中包括Watley
，她当时倒在一间卧室里。另外还有一批女子则在Harden离开前后也被驱逐出屋。
“Since New Year’s Day, when I reported the rape by Mr. Blackburn to the
police, I have remained puzzled by how Mr. Harden’s security behaved that
day — it is painful to imagine that this all could have been stopped in time,
” Watley said in a statement. “I hope this complaint pushes security
employees generally to act more responsibly when women are in danger.”
Watley 在声明中表示:"自从元旦当天我向警方报案Blackburn强暴我以来，我一直对
Harden的保全行为感到困惑——想像这一切原本有机会被及时阻止，真的很痛苦。我
希望这起诉讼能促使保全人员在女性面临危险时能有更负责任的作为。"
“Ms. Watley has shown great strength and courage in coming forward to hold
Mr. Blackburn and Mr. Harden accountable for what happened to her on New Year
’s Day 2025 in Mr. Harden’s mansion,” Watley’s attorneys Michael J.
Willemin and John S. Crain, of Wigdor LLP, and Jay Ellwanger and Kaylyn
Betts, of Ellwanger Henderson, said in a statement. “This rape was
immediately reported to the police, and we will bring Mr. Blackburn and Mr.
Harden to justice through the civil justice system.”
Watley的律师团队(来自Wigdor LLP的Michael J. Willemin与John S. Crain，以及
Ellwanger Henderson的Jay Ellwanger与Kaylyn Betts)则在声明中说："Watley 展现了极
大的勇气站出来，要求Blackburn和Harden为2025年新年在Harden豪宅中对她造成的事负责
。这起强暴案在第一时间已报警处理，我们将透过民事司法途径让Blackburn和Harden接受
正义的审判。"
Harden, 35, is an 11-time All-Star who just finished his second season with
the Clippers.
现年35岁的Harden是11次全明星并刚完成他在快艇效力的第二年。
