Los Angeles Lakers point guard Shannon Brown is being sued in civil court for an alleged sex-related incident with a woman in Denver, Brown's agent, Mark Bartelstein confirmed to ESPN's S ey Smith on Sunday.

Bartelstein said the suit stems from an incident when Brown was playing for the Charlotte Bobcats, who played in Denver on Jan. 30. Brown was traded to the Lakers on Feb. 7. Bartelstein said that within 24-48 hours after the woman filed a police report, Denver police fully investigated her claims and "did not even pursue it. Prosecutors found nothing to pursue."
Bartelstein said the Bobcats were told immediately of the incident and team security staff conducted its own investigation and "came to the same conclusion." In addition, he said Brown also hired a private investigator to look into the woman's claims "to know all the facts."
"There was absolutely nothing to it," Bartelstein said. "I find it very interesting all of a sudden Shannon Brown has some success and someone decides to sue him civilly. People can draw their own conclusions. I stand by Shannon Brown. Everything Shannon has said to me as to what happened, the prosecutor verifies."

Bartelstein said he and Brown first learned of the civil suit when Brown was served papers in Denver on Friday as the Lakers closed out the Denver Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals.
The Lakers were not told about the alleged incident during trade talks in February, Bartelstein said, because police never pursued it and they considered it a "nonissue."
Lakers vice president of public relations John Black confirmed that papers were served and said the Lakers consider this a "private legal matter" and would not comment.
Brown averaged 3.2 points per game in 18 regular-season games with the Lakers. He added 1.1 rebounds per game and 0.6 assists. He shot 52.4 percent on field goals; 66.7 percent from the 3-point line.
In the playoffs, Brown has averaged 5.7 points per game with 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists.

Whats with the Lakers and these Denver women?
Denver Nuggets is derived from Gold Nuggets I believe.
More gold-digging in Denver than anywhere else in the states. You can get a big payday suing players and celebrities...who would have thunk it?

another another attemtp for money. same thing happened 2 or 3 years ago with kwame brown during the phoenix series. a chick called rape, then nothing ever happened with the accusations
Doesn't count, he was a Bobcat when it supposedly happened.
This sounds like someone trying to get some cash.
The women are kinda like Laker haters. No matter what the REAL FACTS are, they are gonna hate and make ignorant and unfounded comments that make them look like fools.
Wow
Oh wow, another rapist on that team. Now you tell me who the real thugs are.
nothing new here sons ... Lakers raping every woman in site.
Those white girls up in Colorodo are Thugs too, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Nuggets team have raped some in Denver.
Anybody else thinks it's weird KMart isn't getting sued every week over there?
No doubt first hand knowledge coming from you and your big vagina!
Denver's like 75% white trash, so not really surprising.
No criminal charges filed? This smells of $$$$$$$
What's up with these ing es in Denver.
son you are right, women living in LA never have their reproductive organs vacated, that's exactly why LA has the 2nd largest population IMHO.
:wgaf:
You're a ing idiot that's never been to Denver. And if you have been, then you are even dumber because you still think that.
I so enjoy people seeming to celebrate a claim of rape.
