Stefon Diggs’ assault case in Dedham, Massachusetts centers on charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery, with his accuser, Jamila “Mila” Adams, testifying that they had a prior sexual relationship before he hired her as a personal chef. Adams’ testimony adds a new dimension to the case, potentially influencing jurors’ interpretation of the disputed events surrounding unpaid wages and the alleged assault.
Key details include Adams’ claim that she and Diggs became friends, then had a sexual relationship years before February 2025 when she started working for him. Diggs’ defense contends the alleged assault did not occur, and argues Adams was upset about being excluded from a Miami trip. Video evidence presented by the defense, including dashcam footage and a clip showing Adams in the days after the incident, is used to counter Adams’ account of injuries, while the defense’s questioning of her consistency led to multiple judge admonitions.
The trial features competing narratives, with Adams describing a choking incident and the defense highlighting inconsistencies and lack of visible injuries. Diggs has pleaded not guilty, and the proceedings continue as both sides present testimony and exhibits to support their positions.
