The girlfriend of Arizona State University’s five-star football recruit claimed the prosecution of Davon Durant on charges of domestic violence is influenced by race and misogyny Tuesday.
Kelsi Langley, 19, originally told Tempe Police that Durant hit her and tried to strangle her after witnesses called police and reported seeing a man beating a girl inside a car.
But, Langley recanted her story to Tempe Police shortly after Durant was arrested.
“Nothing happened,” she said, “Davon would never touch me. He’s the kindest person I’ve ever met in my entire life. He’d never hurt a fly.”
She was joined at a press conference Tuesday by civil rights activist Jarrett Maupin, who called for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office to reconsider its prosecution of Durant.
“There have been attempts by law enforcement and others to paint this as another situation where you have a black athlete who is aggressive, overly aggressive, and overly sexual,” Maupin said. “When, in fact, that couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Durant was indicted on one felony count of aggravated assault and three misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct on March 17, 2015.
Tempe Police told ABC15 they have physical evidence in the case, including photos of her injuries, as well as eye witnesses.
Langley and Maupin also claimed that police led her in their questioning right after the alleged assault.
