GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The woman who was Josh Jacobs’ girlfriend at the time of their May altercation has asked a Brown County judge to seal and restrict public disclosure of sensitive records in the criminal case involving the Green Bay Packers running back.
Jacobs pleaded no contest last Thursday to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property charges stemming from the May altercation. He was fined $1,000 on the battery conviction, while the property-damage charge can be dismissed if he completes conditions including counseling and no contact with the victim.
The NFL said Jacobs remains on the Commissioner’s Exempt list as it reviews the case. The motion seeks to bar public release of evidence related to the investigation, including video from inside Jacobs’ garage. According to the criminal complaint, surveillance video shows Jacobs took his girlfriend’s phone while she was on the garage floor and, about 40 seconds later, returned and appeared to damage it.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported the league has requested the video. The court has already temporarily barred the Brown County District Attorney’s Office and Hobart-Lawrence Police Department from releasing discovery materials, after a request last Friday by Jacobs’ attorney.
In the motion and supporting brief filed Tuesday, the woman, identified in the filings only as ANM, asks the court to bar public release of police reports, dispatch records, recordings, photographs, witness statements, medical information, digital evidence and other materials that could identify or locate her or disclose sensitive details. Her attorneys argue the records’ release would threaten her privacy, dignity, safety and emotional well-being under Marsy’s Law. The filings say publicity surrounding the case increases the likelihood that sensitive information would be widely disseminated.
No hearings have been scheduled to review ANM’s motion.
