"According to a new government filing, Albert Haynesworth, through his attorney, tried to influence the outcome of a misdemeanor sex abuse case by offering the complaining witness money, News4's Pat Collins reported.
This filing comes just days after Haynesworth's lawyer filed papers saying someone offered a prosecution witness $50,000 for testimony against the former Washington Redskins defensive lineman.
Thursday's government filing disputes Haynesworth's lawyer's account of the $50,000 offer and accuses him of offering the complaining witness money for her assistance getting the case dropped.
Haynesworth's lawyer, A. Scott Bolden, categorically denies any payoff attempt, Collins reported.
Haynesworth is accused of sliding his credit card into a waitress's bra and touching her breast last February at the upscale W Hotel. The waitress had her hands full with glasses when Haynesworth tried to pay the bill, according to the police report. He asked if he could put his credit card in her blouse and she said yes. But the waitress alleged that Haynesworth went further by sticking his hand down her shirt, asking if that was OK and fondling her though she told him it wasn't OK."
