WASHINGTON (AP)\u2014Washington Redskins<\/a> defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor sexual abuse for allegedly fondling the breast of his server in a hotel restaurant in Washington.<\/p>\n

A grand jury returned an indictment formally charging Haynesworth over the alleged incident at a downtown Washington hotel in the early hours of Feb. 13. If convicted, the 29-year-old two-time All-Pro faces up to six months days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. attorney\u2019s office, the government\u2019s evidence shows Haynesworth slid a credit card down the front of the server\u2019s dress and fondled her breast.<\/p>\n

Haynesworth\u2019s attorney, A. Scott Bolden, called the charge disappointing and regretful and said it would be a difficult case for the government to prove. Haynesworth is innocent and several witnesses would vouch that the alleged conduct never happened, Bolden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe maintain his innocence, and now the fight begins,\u201d Bolden said.<\/p>\n

Telephone and e-mail messages left for Haynesworth\u2019s agent, Chad Speck, were not immediately returned. Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said the team referred all calls to Haynesworth and his agent.<\/p>\n

Haynesworth is also currently facing charges in Virginia for allegedly punching a man during a road-rage assault. His trial is scheduled for May. At one point last summer, he was also involved in lawsuits from a bank, an exotic dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident and complaints from his ex-wife that he wasn\u2019t paying for her health insurance or their children\u2019s bills.<\/p>\n

Haynesworth has also dealt with his share of on-the-field problems over the past year. He had a tumultuous 2010 season with the Redskins that ended when he was suspended without pay for the final four games of the season for \u201cconduct detrimental to the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haynesworth had constantly feuded with coach Mike Shanahan, skipped offseason workouts and failed to pass a conditioning test at the start of training camp. He did not start a game last season, despite being in the second year of a seven-year, $100 million contract, and is expected to be traded or released by the Redskins this offseason.<\/p>\n
