The judge didn't agree and now the case is headed to trial...
From Radar Online
Dwight Howard’s attempt to dismiss the assault lawsuit — brought against him by a man who claimed he was forced to have a threesome at the NBA star’s home — was shut down.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a hearing was held this week in Stephen Harper’s lawsuit against Howard.
The judge heard arguments from both sides including on Howard’s motion for summary judgment in the case.
In his motion, Howard argued that all claims should be dismissed. He claimed his interactions with Harper were consensual and he did not commit sexual assault.
Howard submitted a series of text messages that he claimed Harper sent after the alleged assault — that showed Harper asking to hang out again.
Harper disputed the authenticity of the messages.
Despite Howard’s plea, the judge presiding over the case denied his motion to dismiss the case. The order said, “[Howard] also moves for summary judgment, arguing that all sexual activity in the suit was consensual. In response, [Harper] submits affidavit and other evidence raising triable issues of material facts.”
The order said, “Therefore, this court HEREBY DENIES [Howard’s] motion for summary judgment.”
As a result, Howard and Harper will now prepare for trial and a jury will decide the case.

Allllrighty now. Let's hear about the Booty and Big D escapades. I don't want a detail left out. Pop Secrete on rotation.
Just read where some dude is on trial in SC for killing his trans lover after his girlfriend found out. These men are something else. They know they love chicks with d**ks. Stop fronting cuz there's no future in it.
It wont go to trial. No way Dwight wants that kinda circus. He will write the check just like Cuba Gooding Jr did last year.
Why is Dwight Howard in a headline? He was a long time ago.
His legal team actually sealed the text messages in the case because they were to too graphic..
