Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Dennis Northcutt is on the wrong end of a lawsuit that makes some Rae Carruth-style allegations against the veteran pass-catcher.
Per TMZ.com, a woman who was carrying Northcutt’s unborn baby claims that Northcutt conspired to have her beaten up.
Sharri Henry claims that, in May 2008, Northcutt persuaded his cousin to “maliciously assault, beat, strike and batter Plaintiff, her face and head with great force and violence . . . causing severe and permanent disfigurement to her face.”
The suit was filed Tuesday in L.A. Henry reportedly filed a police report regarding the matter shortly after it happened. Apparently, no action was taken against Northcutt.
UPDATE: A reader points out this interview with Northcutt from last year, who talks about the fact that his girlfriend (presumably Sharri Henry) was the first girlfriend of his life: “I’ve seen a lot of marriages that don’t work with buddies of mine that are in the pros or have played in the pros. I felt like a lot of those guys got into relationships they weren’t ready for. I would think, ‘Why is he doing that? You know he’s not ready.’ Then it would end up not working. So I figured I wasn’t about to go through all that. For what? By staying single, I’ve saved a whole lot of money. I didn’t have to play any divorce settlements, no child support. I know guys that pay $20,000 or $10,000 a month in child support. That’s expensive, man. And there are a lot of women with ulterior motives, too. Let’s be real. They’re looking for a security blanket, straight up.”

I thought Matt Jones was the one in trouble, hoping to just make the team? How come this is flying under the radar?

Police acted on Rae carruth (and he was convicted) they did not in this case.not to mention, the victim in carruth’s case was killed. So to call it a “Rae Carruth-style allegation” is insensitive and unfair to northcutt.
Tmz has been getting cited a lot as a source on this website. I hope this great site isn’t turning into a sportcenter-style sports satire site with unreliable sources and annoying journalism.

Troy may make the team yet, because he is not in jail.

This is a civil case.
Apparently some folks can’t read, or don’t know the difference.

Dennis is actually making sense. I don’t know about the allegations, she sounds like trouble either way but I am sure the police will get to the bottom of this. Its not like they would mistreat a brother or anything.

Gee another wide receiver in trouble? Is that what they are being taught now? Seems like it is enough of an epidemic that the NFLPA, Agents, Teams, League needs to hold some training sessions just for the wide receivers. And for God’s sake put some behavior rules in writing. “Do this and this will happen to you and your career.”

Ummm… the police won’t get to the bottom of it. This is a civil case. The police have nothing to do with it.

Perhaps he should have kept his pants on until he knew her a lot longer. Then he could have gotten to know her and decided whether or not to get married and on the wedding night took his pants off.
Sex isn’t everything in a relationship and the sooner people learn that the better off we will be!
