Minnesota- A suspended Minnesota Vikings player is the defendant in a civil suit filed Thursday in Hennepin County District Court.

A 21 year old Richfield woman is accusing Onterrio Smith of sexual assault in another Viking’s apartment on June 12, 2004.

“I think she’s a credible person. I’ve talked to her family members who saw her the night that it happened. I’ve seen the medical records. I think she’s believable,” said attorney Lori Peterson.

The victim alleges that she was drinking with Smith and another Vikings player when she passed out. She later woke up and said both players were on top of her. The woman has fetal alcohol syndrome.

Onterrio Smith was suspended when he was caught going through an airport with a whizzinator, a device used to beat drug tests.
