“Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply for his little sister – a young lady, a minor,” read the statement Beverley posted on social media.
“Given that, when he unexpectedly found her home alone with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned as any brother would be over his sister. However, we do not believe that what happened next happened as it has been described and we look forward to the opportunity to address it in court.”
