Josh Giddey NBA scandal: explicit photos with alleged minor
Scandal involving NBA rising star Josh Giddey after compromising images with alleged minor go viral, sparking controversy and legal questions.
The basketball world has been rocked by scandal after scandal, and the latest involves rising star Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 21-year-old Australian player has found himself at the center of controversy after compromising images and videos surfaced on social media, showing him with a young girl identified as Liv Cook, who claims to have had sexual relations with him.
In one image, Giddey is seen hugging the girl, which may seem innocent enough. However, in another photo, the two are posing with their naked torsos, accompanied by a message that reads, "Just [engaged in sexual activity with] Josh Giddey."
The images were quickly deleted, but not before they spread like wildfire, sparking outrage and calls for Giddey to be held accountable. The user who originally posted the images, @wstgoat7, claimed that the girl is in her third year of high school, making her 15 years old. This has raised questions about the age of consent in the state of Oklahoma, where Giddey plays.
According to Oklahoma Criminal Defense, the age of consent in the state is 16, meaning that if the girl is indeed 15, Giddey has committed a crime. However, the context of the images is still unclear, and it is unknown whether they are recent or from some time ago.
As the controversy continues to unfold, many are left wondering about the future of Giddey's career and the impact this scandal will have on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Giddey has been a standout player for the team, averaging 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists, and helping them to a strong start to the season with a record of 11 wins and 4 losses.
The situation is sure to have far-reaching consequences for Giddey, the Thunder, and the NBA as a whole, and many are eagerly awaiting further developments in this ongoing scandal.
