Disturbing assault accusations surface against New York Jets QB Geno Smith

· Yahoo Sports

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is dealing with an unexpected off-field NFL situation involving quarterback Geno Smith and allegations related to his personal life.

According to multiple reports, a woman identified only as “Kristen” has accused Smith of assault. In an 85-second video clip that has circulated on social media, she makes several allegations against the Jets quarterback, including claims that he assaulted her.

She also accuses Smith of neglecting their special-needs child, breaking her computer, and chasing her during the incident. Police officers appear in the video and responded to the scene, but reports indicate that no arrests were made and no one was taken into custody.

It remains unclear whether authorities have closed the case or if the matter is still under investigation. Reports from various outlets have provided conflicting information, making the status of the case difficult to determine.

Uncharacteristic accusations

The allegations come as a surprise given Smith’s relatively clean off-field record throughout his NFL career. The most notable controversy involving Smith previously occurred during his time with the Jets when he was involved in a locker-room altercation with former teammate IK Enemkpali.

The incident stemmed from a dispute over a $600 debt after Smith missed Enemkpali’s youth football camp. Enemkpali punched Smith during the confrontation, leaving the quarterback with a broken jaw that sidelined him at the start of the 2015 season.

Smith joined the Jets this offseason after spending last season with the Las Vegas Raiders. Originally selected in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, he played for New York from 2013 to 2016. His early years in the league were marked by inconsistency and several benchings.

After stints with multiple teams, Smith revived his career with the Seattle Seahawks. He served as Seattle’s full-time starter from 2022 through 2024 before the Seahawks traded him to the Raiders.

It is also unclear whether the NFL has begun its own investigation into the allegations or plans to do so.

A former mob hitman ran for office, won, then got arrested for loansharking

· Fortune

A notorious mob hitman who once testified against John “Junior” Gotti before cleaning up his life and becoming a councilman in New Jersey has been arrested on extortion and loansharking charges that, if proven, reflect a return to the lifestyle of his youth.

John Alite, 63, was arrested on Friday in New Jersey, where he was sworn in early last year as a councilman in the borough of Englishtown. Released after a court appearance Saturday, Alite is scheduled to return to court for a detention hearing Wednesday.

His attorney, Douglas Anton, responding to an email seeking comment, said he did not want to speak about the case before the next court appearance.

Alite faces multiple counts of extortion, corporate misconduct, loansharking and terroristic threats.

Alite provided loans at exorbitant rates before threatening violence to collect on them, authorities said, citing the discovery in his home of metal knuckles, an expandable baton, six baseball bats and about two dozen knives, including switchblades.

The baseball bats, authorities said, included one stored near his home’s front door and five more in a kitchen storage bench.

An officer of the New Jersey State Police, an investigative arm of the attorney general’s office, said in court papers that it appeared that the weapons found in Alite’s residence were intended for use in collecting debts.

According to court papers, Alite had threatened one person he had lent money to, saying he would strike him across the head with a baseball bat if he didn’t meet his demands.

Alite also had bragged that he had in the past endeavored to “gut” people like “fish,” the court papers said.

In a release, prosecutors said Alite carried out crimes in part through his corporation, Straightened-Out Entertainment Inc.

They said he illegally obtained property and money from his victims by threats of violence in ways that reflected his 2009 testimony at a Gotti trial that ended with a deadlocked jury.

Alite told a Manhattan federal court jury that he killed a childhood friend to earn respect from fellow mobsters.
