FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – A former U.S. basketball player is accused of breaking into a woman's Pembroke Pines home and fondling her while she slept.
They accuse Orien Greene of entering a home off the 1200 block of NW 137th Terrace through an unlocked front door and going into the master bedroom where a 56-year-old woman was sleeping.
Detectives said that woman was startled when she saw Greene.
He left and walked across the street to another home, where the 34-year-old entered an open garage and then went inside the home through an unlocked connecting door.
There, he entered the master bedroom where a 40-year-old woman was in bed.
Police said Greene got in bed with her and "rubbed her butt with his hand and kissed her on the neck several times."
The woman woke up and started yelling and he left the home.
But things didn't stop there.
Police said he then tried to make his way to another home.
This time a man who was in the front courtyard confronted Greene who left and went back to his girlfriend's home.
He's been charged with battery and burglary of an occupied dwelling. Police said he admitted post Miranda to doing what he's accused of.
Greene, who played college basketball at the University of Florida, was drafted by Boston Celtics in 2005. He also had stints with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and New Jersey Nets.
Currently, he plays for Guaros de Lara of the Liga Profesional de Baloncesto (LPB), which is the "first division" of the professional Venezuelan basketball league.
