THE SIDELINES : Leonard Accused of Low Blows
The estranged wife of boxer Sugar Ray Leonard has charged him with adultery, physical abuse and humiliation in court records filed in connection with their divorce proceeding.
A hearing has been scheduled in Montgomery County Circuit Court Friday before Judge William Miller on Juanita Leonard’s request to increase monthly payments for alimony and child support from $1,200 to $50,000.
Sugar Ray Leonard filed for divorce in March of this year. Her attorney said the couple permanently separated in December, 1989.
An amended petition filed by Mrs. Leonard alleges that Leonard “has persistently engaged in cruelty of treatment” and has assaulted her bodily and has harassed and humiliated her in the presence of her family, friends and others.
Mike Trainer, Leonard’s lawyer and agent, called the statements misleading and said none of the allegations have been proven.
