In a legal update reported by TMZ, a judge has ordered Christopher Griffith, the man accusing NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs of sexual assault, to surrender his entire Instagram direct message history with the football star within 14 days. The legal ruling requires Griffith to produce all flight receipts, hotel bookings, and ride-share logs linked to his May 2023 trip to Maryland, alongside text conversations regarding Diggs, as part of the ongoing counter-lawsuit battle.
Validating the court proceedings, legal reporting cited by US Sports Daily confirmed the mandatory discovery order, quoting court documents that state “the plaintiff must produce all travel, lodging, and electronic message records relative to the May 20-23, 2023 timeframe.” Additionally, Court TV legal updates confirmed the ruling details, noting that “while the judge granted Diggs’ motion for electronic discovery, the court denied requests for monetary sanctions against the accuser at this time.”
### Echotitbits Take
This evidentiary ruling marks a pivotal juncture in the high-stakes legal dispute between the NFL star and his accuser, as unredacted direct communications often prove decisive in defamation and counter-assault claims. The forthcoming digital discovery will determine whether the civil suit proceeds toward trial or moves toward a pre-trial settlement.
