Former NBA guard Ben McLemore convicted of rape, sexual assault stemming from party in 2021
Former NBA guard Ben McLemore was found guilty Thursday of raping and sexually assaulting a 21-year-old woman after a lake house party in 2021 while he was playing for the Portland Trail Blazers. McLemore, 32, was convicted of first-degree rape, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration and second degree sexual abuse by a jury in Clackamas County, Oregon, according to a Clackamas County press release. Advertisement 'We recognize there are those who fear individuals with celebrity status or a position of prominence can avoid prosecution,' District Attorney John Wentworth said via a statement. 'Not in Clackamas County. This case demonstrates my office prosecutes criminal acts regardless of the offender's community status.' McLemore will be sentenced July 9. The sexual assault occurred Oct. 3, 2021, after a party at then-teammate Robert Covington's house in Lake Oswego. The victim had been drinking heavily and was 'hammered unconscious drunk' that night, prosecutor Scott Healy told jurors. It was the most alcohol the woman ever had to drink in her life and the most intoxicated she had ever been, Healy said. The victim vomited earlier that evening, and witnesses said she had difficulty walking, slurred speech and could barely lift her head, Healy said. The victim passed out on a large living room couch around 2 a.m. Later, McLemore began sleeping on the same couch. At around 6 a.m., the victim regained partial consciousness when McLemore sexually penetrated her with his fingers, then began having sexual intercourse with her. The victim was 'fading in and out' of consciousness, frightened and traumatized, Healy said. Later that day, she sought a specialized medical examination for victims of sexual assault. '(The defendant) needs to be held accountable for what he did,' the victim said during her trial testimony. 'You can't do that to somebody, let alone somebody that you don't know either. You don't do that to people and just be able to get away with it. I don't care who you are.' McLemore's attorneys, Lisa Maxfield and Kris Winemiller of Pacific Northwest Law, LLP, couldn't be reached for comment by The Athletic at the time of publication. McLemore's attorneys disputed the victim's account of events, claiming she initiated sexual contact and consented to it. His attorneys asserted that although the victim and McLemore were intoxicated at the time of the encounter, the victim was sober enough to consent. The seventh pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings, McLemore played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers before his last season with the Trail Blazers in 2021-22.

Ex-NBA player Ben McLemore found guilty of rape after 11-day Oregon trial
Former NBA guard Ben McLemore was found guilty of rape by an Oregon jury Thursday. The jury in Clackamas County found McLemore, the 32-year-old ex-Portland Trail Blazers player, guilty of raping a woman in 2021 after an 11-day trial. McLemore, who pleaded not guilty to all counts, was found guilty on one charge of first-degree rape, one charge of first-degree unlawful sexual penetration and one count of second-degree sexual abuse. The jury also found him not guilty on an additional count of second-degree sexual abuse. "We recognize there are those who fear individuals with celebrity status or a position of prominence can avoid prosecution. Not in Clackamas County," Clackamas County District Attorney John Wentworth said in a statement, according to ESPN. "This case demonstrates my office prosecutes criminal acts regardless of the offender's community status." The incident occurred in Lake Oswego, Oregon, in October 2021, when McLemore was identified as a suspect by authorities after the woman's complaint. In February 2024, a Clackamas County grand jury listened to evidence in the case, which included the woman's testimony saying McLemore assaulted her. McLemore was arrested two months later by U.S. Marshals. During the trial, Scott Healy, a Clackamas County prosecutor, told the jury the woman passed out on a living room couch around 2 a.m. after drinking heavily. She regained partial consciousness the next morning, when McLemore sexually penetrated her with his fingers and then proceeded to have sex with her. McLemore's team of attorneys disputed the claims, saying she initiated sexual contact and consented to it. The lawyers also claimed the woman was sober enough to consent to sexual contact. McLemore, a Kansas product, played nine seasons in the NBA, five with the Sacramento Kings, who took him seventh overall in the 2013 NBA Draft. He bounced around the league toward the end, playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and, finally, the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2021-22 season.

Historic Lake Oswego Home Returns To Market At $10.4 Million After Artful Revival
After stripping the house to its studs, the team grafted on a new wing, boosting the footprint to 6,140 square feet while still echoing Wade Hampton Pipes's original vocabulary. Preservationists and developers. An age-old feud. One guards provenance, while the other chases possibility. But what happens when a house straddles both worlds—too wounded to survive untouched, too important to raze? Can these two disparate camps salvage the story together? In Lake Oswego, Oregon, that unlikely détente unfolded at 4101 South Shore Boulevard. The low-slung lakefront residence—once known as the John M. and Elizabeth Bates House No. 4—was the penultimate commission of Wade Hampton Pipes, a pivotal voice in Oregon's Arts and Crafts movement. Pipes designed everything. Structure, landscape, furnishings, finishes. A total work of art completed in 1954. The home would eventually be added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Honor, however, could not stop entropy. By 2018 the custom furniture and built-ins Pipes had crafted were missing. Wood trim warped. Windows were cracked. What remained was a shadow of its former significance and a pressing dilemma: let it crumble in the name of purity, or resuscitate it at the risk of surrendering its historic badge? Modern materials prevail, yet Pipes's trademark bay windows still anchor the main living area. Enter the current owner, Ralph Martinez, who opted for restoration. Although not a developer by trade, Martinez is seasoned in ambitious renovations and saw possibilities where others saw liabilities, says Terry Sprague, founder and CEO of the Lake Oswego brokerage, LUXE. 'Ralph always has a strong vision for his restorations. For 4101 South Shore, he developed that vision from the question: how would Pipes repair his own masterpiece if he were alive today?' With only a single wall removed, the redesign opened up the kitchen while still tucking its working core out of sight from the dining and living rooms. To chase that answer, he enlisted architect Curt Olson and invited scrutiny from the National Register. Rather than argue, the trio collaborated. Martinez and Olson had preservation officials identify Pipes' hallmarks to tap into the new design—warm wood finishes, a deliberate procession of rooms and the signature bay window beneath a peaked roof. In turn, the historians then surprised everyone by encouraging some changes. They recommended that additional structures adopt their own posture so the original footprint could remain. Only a single wall dissolved inside the historic shell, widening the kitchen enough for modern circulation. Windows are plentiful, framing the postcard vista of Lake Oswego. From that restrained framework, however, major upgrades followed. Floors became rift-sawn white oak, their grain a subtle compass guiding the eye. A linear fireplace now slices through a Vermont black granite feature wall. At the center, a quartzite island—Crystal Pearl with a waterfall edge and velvet finish—anchors the kitchen. Glass sliders open the living area and release it to a discreet gallery walkway leading the new wing. There, the primary bedroom is warmed by another linear fireplace, this one wrapped in vein-cut marble. Three towering windows frame the lake like a triptych. In the bath, heated large-format tile floors lead to an Oceana soaking tub poised before a Pietra gray marble backdrop. Claiming the new wing's entire main floor, the primary suite pairs a hearth with twin walk-ins and motorized shades. One floor down, a pavilion for entertaining opens to a hardscape patio and pool. Step beyond and nearly 280 feet of private shoreline embraces a modern boathouse fitted with heat, coated concrete and a fresh lift for the family runabout on mirror-still waters. It is, after all, the lake that serves as the constant refrain. The shared muse that first guided Pipes's hand and later steered Martinez's revival. Tiered lawns protect sightlines and cradle a rectilinear pool that slips beneath an automatic lid. After four years of work, the 6,140-square-foot home is now being offered for sale at $10.4 million. All told, the project is both resurrection and evolution. 'The house is a great example of how artful the result can be when preservationists and visionaries get on the same page,' says Sprague, who holds the listing. 'History and progress can work together.'
