According to one photographer, Minnesota Twins slugger Miguel Sano assaulted her after an autograph signing at a store she was volunteering at.
In recent weeks, women in sports journalism have come forward to tell their tales of sexual assault and harassment at the hands of their male counterparts. We’ve heard stories of inappropriate behavior allegedly conducted by prominent on-air personalities — many of whom are ex-athletes — at major outlets such as ESPN and the NFL Network. Now, a photojournalist is coming forward with a serious accusation against a still-active baseball star.
According to freelance photographer Betsy Bissen, Minnesota Twins slugger Miguel Sano assaulted her after an autograph signing at a store where she was volunteering. In a story posted to her Twitter account on Thursday morning, Betsy Bissen detailed her claim against Sano:
As she noted in her story, Bissen accuses Sano of trying to pull her into a bathroom and attempting to kiss her. The photographer says she fought off the All-Star third baseman as he pulled her by the wrist for ten minutes before Sano finally gave up.
