Albert Haynesworth: Washington Redskins Malcontent Now Accused of Sexual Assault

Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has been accused of sexual assault by a Washington D.C. area waitress.

Sources told the local NBC affiliate that the incident occurred at the W Hotel in Washington D.C. and that police are currently investigating the complaint made by the waitress.

Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, was quoted as saying, "There seems to be no truth to these allegations.  We are currently evaluating facts and considering our own legal action against those involved."

Once considered a top defensive player in the league, Haynesworth's Redskins career has been dogged endlessly with trouble on and off the playing field.

Haynesworth was involved in an altercation with a motorist on December 2, which ended with the Redskins tackle allegedly punching the man while he sat in his car.

Haynesworth's camp contends that the man recognized Haynesworth as a millionaire football player and purposefully escalated the incident in search of a payday.

On the field, Haynesworth has been a disappointment under Coach Mike Shanahan and the 3-4 defense.

From the start, Haynesworth was unhappy with the new defensive scheme and Coach Shanahan was unhappy with Haynesworth's physical fitness. Haynesworth failed a much publicized conditioning test again and again in the preseason, leading many to question how long he would be in a Redskins uniform. 

If these most recent allegations hold true, it would only speed that now-inevitable process.
