Tyreek Hill ain’t exactly off the hook … prosecutors have reopened the criminal child abuse case involving the NFL star and his fiancee in the wake of a disturbing audio recording, KCTV reports.
The audio went public Thursday night — capturing Hill in a heated conversation with his fiancee, Crystal Espinal … in which you can hear Hill say, “You need to be terrified of me too, bitch.”
During the conversation (which took place in March), Espinal repeatedly accuses 25-year-old Hill of breaking their 3-year-old son’s arm — accusations Hill adamantly denies.
Officials had been investigating the situation — and while prosecutors determined a crime WAS committed against the child, they could not determine who exactly hurt the boy.
As a result, prosecutors announced on Wednesday that no charges had been filed against Hill or Espinal.
Now, KCTV says officials are reopening the case — which means they will evaluate the new evidence and re-assess if charges should be filed.
Moments ago, K.C. Chiefs coach Andy Reid acknowledged he knew the case had been reopened — but wouldn’t comment further.
The Chiefs announced Thursday night Hill has been suspended from all team activities while the team conducts an investigation.
