Former Lakers Head Coach Luke Walton Sued For Sexual Assault

by Daryl Nelson

Luke Walton is being sued for sexual assault by a female reporter.

TMZ reports that Kelli Tennant said that the then-Lakers coach invited her to his hotel room in Santa Monica, Calif. to discuss a book she was writing. Walton was supposed to write the forward.

Tennant said once she arrived in the room, Walton pinned her to the bed and began forcibly kissing her neck, face and chest. She said he groped her breast and groin as well, then rubbed his erection on her leg. He allegedly grabbed her again when she was about to leave and put his body close to her's.

Do you think Walton, who split with the Lakers this offseason, will lose his new job as the coach of the Sacramento Kings because of this?
