Lawsuit Claims Shaq Tried to Use Law Enforcement Friends to Frame Former Employee For Child Porn
By Ty Duffy
From the Sun-Sentinel:
"Well-known as a police buff, O’Neal called on his law enforcement pals to “frame [Darling] for possession of child pornography, have his house stormed by police, have him arrested for it, and have his computers confiscated while he is hauled off to jail as an accused child pornographer,” the complaint says. “O’Neal and his henchmen would stop [at] nothing to get what O’Neal needed,” the lawsuit alleges. Among those police officers named in the amended complaint, filed July 26, is a current sergeant in the Miami Beach police internal affairs division and a former Miami Beach police chief."
Darling also accuses the TNT analyst of hacking into Vanessa Lopez’ phone system and placing a GPS tracking device in his wife’s car. He seeks $45,000 in damages for “intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and civil racketeering.”
