Financial woes are not the only trouble for the Hammer clan. His cousin Marvin Grant is accused of raping a woman he met on Twitter. Grant appeared in a court room Monday and asked to be assigned a public defender. According to police, Grant and the woman exchanged emails, tweets and phone calls before agreeing to meet up at a hotel July 28. The woman claims he attacked her after she denied his advances.
Grant also appears on Hammer’s “Hammertime” reality show. The show airs on A& E and follows Hammer, his wife, six kids and Grant through their everyday life.
