Another allegation of child abuse against Kansas City Chiefs superstar Tyreek Hill has surfaced.
According to Angie Ricono, Emily Sinovic, and Chris Oberholtz of KCTV5, local police were called to the residence Hill shares with his fianceé, Crystal Espinal, and their three-year old son on March 5 to investigate a report of child abuse or neglect. Authorities in Overland Park, Kan., closed the case three days later after prosecution was denied. Notably, Hill's name was listed on the police report.
This revelation marks the second time Hill has been accused of child abuse in March.
Earlier on Friday, The Kansas City Star’s Steve Vockrodt and Brooke Pryor, citing police documents, reported that Hill was the subject of a battery investigation against a child. A source with knowledge of the situation told The Star that Espinal, pregnant with twins, has been in contact with local police. The couple’s young son is reportedly the victim of the alleged incident, during which he purportedly suffered a broken arm.
Hill's name wasn't listed on the police report provided to The Star; he was identified by reporters due to the presence of his address. KCTV5 reports the second alleged incident took place on March 14, nine days after the first.
The 25-year-old Hill has not been charged with a crime, and it is unclear if charges will eventually be brought against him.
Hill, who slid on draft night due to concerns related to his previous legal troubles, has been one of the league’s most dynamic players since being taken with a fifth-round pick in 2016. He is up for a contract extension this offseason.
