Jerry Jones hit with sexual assault lawsuit

Gazi · October 4, 2010

In what has to be one of the most bizarre sexual assault lawsuits ever filed, a woman is suing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, claiming he committed a number of alleged misdeeds, including sexual assault, theft, false imprisonment and "privacy actions." Gavin is filing the suit pro se, which means she's acting as her own counsel. Also, Jones had filed a restraining order on Gavin on Sept. 20 (PDF). From D Magazine, via Lewp's Weblog:

Patricia Gavin says she's a former captain in the U.S. Air Force. She claims that Jerry Jones assaulted her at Ocean Prime (Restaurant) on the same night that was captured by that famous Deadspin video of a slurring Jones. She also claims that she's an art dealer; that on the night in question, someone stole her purse, which contained a check for $2 million (British sterling); and that, in an effort to cover this whole thing up, Jones' financial advisors dosed her with GHB. Oh, also? Somebody got an STD from an assault in the bathroom at Al Biernat's.

If Gavin is making all of this up, that's some imagination; she may have another career writing Harry Potter sequels.
