Video Shows Alleged Abuse by Brian Giles

Text Size A A A
Earlier today, Matt Snyder brought you a story about a lawsuit filed against Brian Giles by his girlfriend. Cheri Olivera alleges Giles abused her and, as a result, caused a miscarriage in 2002. It's an unsavory story, but one which begged for all the facts to come to light before condemning Giles.



Now, however, NBC San Diego has a video that allegedly shows Giles pulling Olivera's hair and throwing her to the ground outside a bar. The video is from 2006, and is unrelated to the miscarriage claim. Take a look at it, the footage starts 24 seconds in.

The video doesn't show what happened outside the bar, but the footage of another patron acting out a slap is pretty damning. Whether or not this proves Giles caused Olivera to miscarriage is a question for someone with much greater knowledge of the uterus than I, but Giles certainly looks like he's found himself in some very hot water.
