Former girlfriend of Josh Jacobs seeks to permanently seal video evidence in his criminal case
Lawyers for Josh Jacobs' ex-girlfriend have filed a motion to keep a key video and other evidence sealed permanently, complicating the NFL's attempts to obtain the material.
Attorneys representing the former girlfriend of Packers running back Josh Jacobs have filed a motion asking a court to permanently seal video evidence and other materials related to Jacobs' criminal case. The filing, made on Tuesday, states the request is intended to protect the privacy of the client.
The motion adds to a prior request by Jacobs' own lawyers to keep the evidence from public release. NFL officials have indicated they are exploring legal options to access the video, including potentially filing an opposition to the sealing request and seeking a limited, confidential inspection of the footage.
League representatives have suggested that the outcome of the legal dispute could affect Jacobs' status with the team, noting that disciplinary proceedings may be delayed until the NFL is able to review the sealed material.
