Raped his cousin for years...

Le'Veon Bell is reportedly denying allegations that he raped his cousin for around a decade - starting when she was just a child.
That is despite a jury ordering that the woman receive damages totaling $25million from Bell and another $11.05 from his brother La'Vonte, according to court documents.
Both La'Vonte and the former running back are accused of starting nonconsensual 'incestual relations' with her when she was just six to seven years old.
According to a lawsuit filed in Ohio last year, Jada Bell is eight years younger than 33-year-old Bell, who played for the Jets, Steelers, Chiefs, Ravens and Buccaneers before becoming a boxer.
Bell's attorney told TMZ that the default judgement in the case is 'bogus'.
'Both defendants engaged in ongoing incestual relations with the Plaintiff beginning when Plaintiff was just six to seven years old,' the complaint reads.
'These incestual relations continued through at least 2017,' with Bell accused of continuously 'engaging in these encounters' during 'his college years and beyond'.
It's said that the former running back 'often used slang terms to instruct the minor child as to which incestual acts he wished for her to perform... for instance, he termed oral sex "fire".'
The complaint continues: 'None of these encounters were consensual and they happened with such frequency as to habitualize Plaintiff to the abuse'.
Jada is said to have suffered 'extreme and ongoing mental anguish and distress as a result of the incestual sexual relations forced upon her by the Defendants.'
