Stefon Diggs Acquitted on All Charges in Massachusetts Assault Case

The not-guilty verdict eases uncertainty over the free-agent receiver’s future.

Overview

  • A jury in Dedham found Diggs not guilty of both strangulation and assault after less than two hours of deliberation.
  • The case turned on testimony from former private chef Jamila Adams, who said he slapped her and put an arm around her neck during a December 2, 2025 dispute at his home.
  • Jurors heard there were no medical records, photos, or eyewitnesses of injuries, and an investigator reported finding no visible harm.
  • The defense questioned Adams’ credibility by citing alleged money demands after the allegations and by showing videos of her soon after the claimed incident.
  • Diggs, released by the New England Patriots in March, remains unsigned as teams assess what the verdict means for his career.
