Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy settles lawsuit filed by former girlfriend

Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by an ex-girlfriend, according to U.S. district court records in Georgia.

Delicia Cordon filed the lawsuit last year, alleging that McCoy failed to protect her from a home invasion that caused her injury. She later accused him of arranging the attack.

McCoy denied the allegations.

The details of the settlement were not disclosed, and McCoy’s attorneys could not immediately be reached by telephone. U.S. District Judge Michael L. Brown ordered the case closed after the parties announced the settlement.

McCoy owned the home that was invaded in July 2018, when he was with the Buffalo Bills, but Cordon was living there and present during the time of the alleged incident. McCoy was not home. According to the lawsuit, $133,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from the house.

In August 2018, McCoy and Cordon settled a dispute to have Cordon evicted from the Milton, Georgia, home that McCoy owned.
