The jury ruled that the female relative is entitled to $20 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages from the former NFL player, bringing the total for Le'Veon Bell to $25 million. La'Vonte Bell is ordered to pay $11 million.

Le'Veon Bell, 33, and his brother, La'Vonte Bell, 30, did not respond to the lawsuit in any way or hire an attorney to represent them in the case.

Le'Veon Bell played at Groveport Madison High School before playing at Michigan State and several teams in the NFL.
