Beckham's camp characterizes new allegations as extortion attempt

More details have emerged regarding an assault claim against New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr., but his camp is classifying the allegations as an extortion attempt.

Ishmael Temple is taking Beckham to court over an incident at the receiver's house in January in which he says he was assaulted by the NFLer's security detail.

In new court documents obtained by TMZ Sports on Tuesday, Temple's lawyers accuse Beckham of offering $1,000 "to sleep with a girl from Arizona." They also claim to have "evidence of drugs of the most prohibited types readily available and consumed at his parties."

Beckham's attorney released a statement Tuesday night denying the allegations.

"Mr. Beckham denies the recently added allegations and further denies any wrongdoing whatsoever related to the alleged incident," Beckham Jr.'s attorney, Daniel E. Davillier, said in a statement obtained by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "As stated before, he will not be extorted and his position as to the pending suit has not changed."

Davillier said Beckham's legal team is preparing a complaint against Temple and his attorney for civil extortion.
