Why is nobody on OKC outright denying the Josh Giddey allegations? (alien.top)

I saw the OKC coach say "no comment" on the situation instead of outright denying it which really confuses me as to why?

I'm not up to date with the evidence but I'm seeing people here say the allegations are ridiculous and there's zero proof. So why the hush hush, what "legal reason" is there if this is all a bunch of nothing?

Because he probably did it, but there’s no actual legal recourse. I’m assuming they’re just trying to save public perception because people are jumping to the conclusion that Giddey is like Karl Malone.

It’s not like he impregnated a 13 year old. He just turned 21 and if the girl is around 16/17, he’s protected not only by the Oklahoma age of consent, but also any Romeo and Juliet law that the state may have.

These kinds of relationships happen literally all the time. HS seniors who start dating a HS freshman and try to continue their relationship post grad. The difference is that Giddey is famous and wealthy.

Is it right or wrong? That’s not for me to decide but if what is alleged actually happened, I don’t think any laws were broken.
