A former sports reporter who accused former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton of sexual assault has spoken publicly about her allegations, telling reporters on Tuesday: "I thought he was going to rape me." "Our interest is not to have Mr. Walton put in jail or be investigated by the police, necessarily," Mardirossian said. When questioned by reporters, however, Mardirossian said he had not closed the door on pressing criminal charges against Walton. Walton, a son of Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton, won two championships with the Lakers during an 11-year NBA career.
