The victim in the case has now done the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>But while the current order is temporary in nature, the new motion filed on behalf of Jacobs\u2019s former girlfriend seeks to have the evidence in the case \u2014 including a key video \u2014 permanently sealed.<\/p>\n<p>Via Rob Demovsky of ESPN, her lawyers said Tuesday that the motion \u201cis consistent with our client\u2019s <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/49951016\/woman-josh-jacobs-case-wants-evidence-permanently-sealed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">desire to protect her privacy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The motion complicates the NFL\u2019s effort to obtain the video. On Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said that the league is \u201c<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/nfl-trying-all-sorts-of-legal-maneuvers-to-get-josh-jacobs-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">trying all sorts of legal maneuvers<\/a>\u201d to get the video.<\/p>\n<p>One fairly direct maneuver would be to file an opposition to the motion, with a request for a limited opportunity to inspect the video subject to the requirements of a strict and comprehensive confidentiality order. And the league should ask Jacobs to join in the effort.<\/p>\n<p>Common sense suggests that the harder Jacobs tries to keep the league from seeing the video, the worse to his ongoing career it may be. If the league decides to take an aggressive approach to the situation, the league could tell Jacobs that he\u2019ll remain on paid leave until the league processes his disciplinary case \u2014 and that the case won\u2019t be processed until the NFL sees the video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Previously, lawyers representing Packers running back Josh Jacobs filed a motion seeking to keep evidence in his criminal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":893748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-893747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=893747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/893748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=893747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=893747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=893747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
