Adriana Lima’s New Husband Marko Jaric Accused of Sexual Assault

Adriana Lima’s VERY new hubby Marko Jaric who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies has reportedly been accused of sexual assault by a woman in Philadelphia, according to SI.com (via OK! magazine). Apparently, the woman is alleging that she was sexually assaulted when his team were playing the 76ers in February. The newlyweds eloped in February as well. Jaric’s rep denied the allegations to TMZ:

“These accusations are 100 percent false and untrue. All high profile couples fall victim to these sort of things through the course of their relationship. Marko and Adriana are very much in love and happily married. The couple knows that there is absolutely no merit whatsoever to these crazy and unfounded allegations.”

Jaric’s attorney also released a statement:

“I received official word from the Philadelphia District Attorneys office that after a thorough investigation no charges will be filed against my client, Marko Jaric, in connection with the alleged incident with an unnamed female on February 11, 2009 while his team was in town to play the 76ers.

Persons in Marko’s position are often the target of malicious statements and it is not unusual for the police to be asked to investigate. However, these allegations were proved to be completely false, and while Marko is extremely unsettled by these accusations, he is happy that the law enforcement authorities have cleared him of any criminal conduct and the issue can now be put to rest.”

What a way to rain on a happy couple’s parade. If the allegations prove to be true, I’m guessing the honeymoon is really over for those two.
