EXCLUSIVE: Hope Solo Addresses Domestic Violence Assault Allegations, Soccer Suspension, U.S. soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo was accused of domestic violence assault against her family members and the charges were later dropped, but in an exclusive interview with Robin Roberts, Solo said she was the victim.
“It’s still very difficult to talk about, what took place that night,” Solo, 33, told the “Good Morning America" anchor of the family gathering at her half-sister's Seattle home last June.
“I'm not going to go into all of the details, but it was a scary night," Solo said. "I was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of my 17-year-old nephew who is 6-foot-9, 280 pounds. I was struck over the head and concussed pretty severely. It was a very scary night.”
The two-time Olympic gold medalist was charged with two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault to which she pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors asked for a no-contact order between Solo and her nephew and Ober which is in place for two years.Read More
