A grand gury indicted Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth on a misdemeanor charge of sexual abuse, stemming from an incident in February.
No arraignment date has been set.
A waitress at the W Hotel in Washington accused Haynesworth of fondling her when he was paying his bill after a night in a cordoned-off section at the rooftop terrace bar.
According to court documents, the waitress said Haynesworth caressed her breast as he slipped a credit card inside her blouse. Her hands had been full with glasses and she nodded yes when Haynesworth asked if he could put his credit card in her shirt.
The grand jury charged that Haynesworth’s intent was to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade or arouse. And that he knew he was touching her breast without consent.
Haynesworth could serve up to 180 days in jail and face a fine of $1,000 if convicted.
