FOXBOROUGH, MA — A second woman has accused New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown of sexual misconduct. The unnamed woman told Sports Illustrated that in June 2017, Brown hired the woman to paint a mural at his Pennsylvania home. On the accuser's second day on the job, the woman said the business arrangement took an inappropriate turn.

Brown denied the woman's allegations in a statement from his lawyer Darren Heitner

"Antonio Brown has reviewed the sexual misconduct allegations made by an unnamed artist included in a recently published Sports Illustrated article and denies that he ever engaged in such activities," Heitner said. "There will be no further comment at this time."

After refusing advances from Brown, the accuser told Sports Illustrated that as she painted, Brown came up behind her naked. The woman said the incident happened in June 2017 at Brown's Pennsylvania home.

"I was about 40 percent done on the second day, and I'm on my knees painting the bottom, and he walks up to me butt-*** naked, with a hand cloth covering his [penis] and starts having a conversation with me," the woman told Sports Illustrated. "I just kept my cool and kept painting ... After that, it all ended abruptly."

The painter said she's not pressing charges or seeking damages but was "bothered by his behavior."

The painter is the second woman to accuse Brown of sexual misconduct this month. Brown's former trainer, Britney Taylor, accused Brown of raping her and sexually assaulting her. Brown denied all the allegations in Taylor's lawsuit.

Young will meet with NFL officials Monday so that the league can open its investigation into her allegations against Brown.
