FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Patriots receiver general attorney Antonio Brown said the player refuted a charge of sexual misconduct with an artist working at his home in Pennsylvania, West Virginia , in 2017.
Antonio Brown examined allegations of sexual misconduct alleged by an unidentified artist included in a recently published Sports Illustrated article and denies having ever participated in such activities. There will be no other comments at the moment.

The allegation was part of a Sports Illustrated report of detailed national incidents involving Brown, a charity auction stealing and many unpaid debts.
The report comes after ESPN's Jeff Darlington announced that Brown was refusing to sign a $ 2-million deal with former coach Britney Taylor to settle a sexual assault allegation.
The NFL was scheduled to meet Taylor on Monday as part of its investigation into the case, sources told ESPN.
According to the Sports Illustrated report, Brown had organized a softball game in Pittsburgh for the benefit of the National Youth Foundation, a Pennsylvania-based women's volunteer group that promotes inclusion and gender equality, as well as the development of academic skills in children. The event had an auction that included works of art, and Brown agreed to buy a portrait of himself before making friends with the artist who created it.
Brown invited the artist to come home to create another painting of him, according to the report, organizing transportation from New York to western Pennsylvania. The artist told SI that she was delighted with Brown's willingness to share his work on social media, but on the second day, things changed.
According to the report, which did not include the name of the artist, the artist "was kneeling while painting and turned to find Brown behind her, naked, holding a small towel over her genitals" . The artist said that she did not stop painting and that "after that, everything ended abruptly".
Brown paid him $ 2,000, according to SI, and did not contact the artist afterwards.
The artist does not pursue charges or compensation, according to SI, but said that friends with whom she had shared the experience had pointed to the lawsuit filed by Taylor at Brown last week.
Claims for payment of $ 700 for the original auction painting remained unanswered, said the National Foundation for Youth and the Artist at SI.
