Legal Trouble
In 1990, Meggett was acquitted on charges of soliciting a prostitute, that was actually an undercover police officer, in Baltimore, Maryland. He was later accused of raping and burglarizing a prostitute in 1998, however the charges were dropped. A third arrest came in 2006, when Meggett was sentenced to six months of probation for claims of sexual battery in South Carolina. He was arrested yet again in September of 2008, for alleged third-degree criminal sexual conduct for raping a 17-year-old woman.Boston Herald: Ex-Patriot David Meggett Facing Rape Charge in SC
