Quick Summary

A woman identified as "ANM," who alleges she was battered by Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs in May, has asked a Wisconsin court to prevent the release of surveillance video documenting the incident.

Meanwhile, Jacobs pleaded no contest to battery and criminal damage charges and is currently out of practice and play due to an NFL investigation into the case.

Story summary

In August, Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay Packers running back, faced charges of battery and criminal damage to property after allegedly attacking a woman identified as "ANM" at his home on May 23. ANM recently requested a Brown County, Wis. judge to permanently ban the release of video evidence depicting the violent incident, citing concerns for her privacy, dignity, and safety. Her attorneys argue that if the footage is made public, it would irreparably harm her, stating the damage once sensitive information is released cannot be remedied. A temporary injunction on releasing the evidence was granted on September 10, but a final ruling has yet to be determined by the court.
