Lawsuit: Oscar De La Hoya accused of sexually assaulting woman twice in 2020

Former boxing great Oscar De La Hoya is accused of two instances of sexual assault in a civil suit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court by a tequila company executive.

The woman alleges that during a trip to Mexico in March 2020 to visit the Casa Mexico Tequila distillery, De La Hoya banged on her hotel room door "with his pants dropped down to his ankles, then pushed his way into the room, and got into her bed," according to the lawsuit. "She pushed him from the bed and walked him to his room, opened his door, and immediately returned to her own room."

The next morning De La Hoya wasn't present when the Casa Mexico group assembled to tour the distillery, and the woman went to his room to wake him. She alleges in the lawsuit that De La Hoya "pulled [her] into his bed, where he sexually assaulted her."
