Legal Issues

• Domestic Assault Conviction: On December 12, 2014, Hill was arrested for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, Crystal Espinal. He was subsequently dismissed from the Oklahoma State football team. Hill pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation, receiving three years of probation, an anger-management course, a year-long batterer’s program, and a domestic-abuse evaluation. Espinal later gave birth to their child.
• Child Abuse Investigation: In March 2019, Hill was investigated for alleged battery after his three-year-old son sustained a broken arm. The investigation led to an emergency hearing and temporary placement of his son into child services. On April 24, 2019, it was revealed that while a crime was believed to have been committed, evidence was insufficient to identify the perpetrator. A recording surfaced of Hill and Espinal discussing the incident, leading to a re-opened criminal investigation. By June 7, 2019, prosecutors announced the case against Hill as inactive, and by July 19, 2019, the NFL stated that no evidence of a personal conduct policy violation was found.
• Assault Investigation: On June 18, 2023, Hill was investigated by Miami-Dade Police for allegedly assaulting a male employee at the Haulover Marine Center following a verbal disagreement. A settlement was reached later that month, and in August 2023, the NFL decided not to punish Hill.
• 2023 Paternity Lawsuits: In December 2023, two paternity lawsuits for child support were filed against Hill by Brittany Lackner and Kimberly Kaylee Baker, both claiming Hill fathered their children in 2023. Hill reached a confidential settlement with Lackner in February 2025 and confirmed paternity. In July 2025, a judge confirmed Hill as the father of Baker’s daughter, Trae Love Hill. Hill has been reported to potentially father at least ten children with four different women.
• 2025 Lawsuit: On February 23, 2025, model and influencer Sophie Hall filed a civil lawsuit against Hill, alleging he broke her leg during a football lesson at his home in June 2023. Hill’s lawyer disputes the claim, stating that Hall’s injury resulted from falling over a dog during the drills.
