Former Washington Football Team running back Derrius Guice will no longer face domestic violence charges after reaching a settlement with his former girlfriend.
According to Justin Jouvenal of the Washington Post, a Virginia judge dropped the four misdemeanor charges against Guice on Wednesday after the former LSU star came to an agreement with his ex-girlfriend.
Per Jouvenal, Guice was originally charged with four misdemeanors and felony strangulation for a series of alleged assaults on his then-girlfriend during a six-month period in 2020, but the felony was dropped earlier this year.
Guice, who was released by the Washington Football Team after getting arrested in August 2020 on allegations of assault, battery, strangulation and destruction of property, will not have to go to trial, per the terms of the settlement.
Shortly after Guice’s arrest, two former LSU students said Guice raped them when he was a freshman at the school in 2016, perKenny Jacoby and Nancy ArmourofUSA Today.
Also, in March, a 74-year-old woman named Gloria Scott said Guice sexually harassed her when she was working security at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 2017, according toJacoby.
