A former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker has been indicted on sex-related charges involving the teenage daughter of a former Bengals assistant coach.
According to court documents, Nathaniel Webster engaged in sexual conduct with the girl many times in 2009 when she was 15 years old and threatened to kill her if she told anyone.
Assistant prosecutor, Megan Shanahan, said: ‘When somebody has a gun with them and tells them I will kill you, your family, your grandparents, your little sisters, absolutely she was afraid to say no.’
Webster was a close friend of the girl’s family while the relationship look place between June and December of 2009.
Webster walked into a Cincinnati courtroom with his head down and hands cuffed yesterday.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said the 33-year-old was indicted on one count each of gross sexual imposition and sexual battery and five counts of unlawful sex with a minor with gun specifications.
‘It’s a disgusting thing to live under the threat of this,’ Joe Deters said Thursday. ‘This conduct occurred dozens of times.’
‘It was two years of this violent abuse,’Shanahan said. ‘She was tired of being robbed of her youth.’
