Victim in Josh Jacobs case files motion to permanently seal video
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Lawyers for Packers running back Josh Jacobs previously sought to keep evidence in his criminal case from public release, and now the victim has filed a motion to have the evidence, including a key video, permanently sealed to protect her privacy.
- The victim's motion complicates the NFL's efforts to obtain the video, with the league reportedly pursuing various legal strategies to access it.
- The NFL may oppose the motion and request limited access to the video under strict confidentiality terms, potentially involving Jacobs in the effort.
- If Jacobs resists the league's attempts to view the video, it could negatively impact his career, as the NFL might keep him on paid leave until the disciplinary case is resolved, which depends on reviewing the video.
