“Ms. Jones has chosen to use her voice to speak up for herself,” Angelica Cogliano, an attorney for Worthy's fiancée Tia Jones, told the Associated Press. “In doing so, she looks forward to the facts and circumstances of that night coming to light through the formal legal process, and getting the justice that she deserves.”

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested in Georgetown, Texas, on Friday. While he originally faced a third-degree felony charge of assault against a family or member of a household that includes impeding breathing or circulation, the Williamson County district attorney has declined to press charges at this time.

The woman who accused Xavier Worthy of attacking her, resulting in a case in which the district attorney has so far declined to pursue charges, has been granted a protective order by a Texas judge against the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver.
