— -- New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to domestic violence in letters, emails and a journal, according to police documents.

The documents were part of Brown's final case file by the King County (Washington) Sheriff's Office stemming from a May 22, 2015, arrest. Brown was charged with assault in the fourth degree/domestic violence after an incident with his ex-wife. The charge was later dropped.

In one of Brown's journal entries obtained as part of the investigation, he writes: "I have abused my wife."

Brown's ex-wife told police that he had been physically violent with her on more than 20 instances over the past several years.

The team declined a request for comment about Brown's admissions.?The Giants are set to leave Thursday for London, where they'll play the Rams.

In the police documents released Wednesday, Brown admitted he "had been a liar for most of my life." He claimed to have a porn addiction and having been abusive to women all the way back to the age of 7, after being molested as a young boy.

"I objectified women and never really worried about the pain and hurt I caused them," Brown wrote in an email.

There was also a 2013 "Contract for Change" signed by Josh Brown, Molly Brown and counselor Jerry Price. Item No. 2 states that Josh Brown physically, verbally and emotionally had abused his wife, Molly.

In a letter to friends in 2014 that Josh Brown warned would be hard to read, he admitted to carrying an overwhelming sense of entitlement. He said he viewed himself as God, and Molly was basically his slave.

In one journal entry, Brown wrote that he has "physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally been a repulsive man." Several sentences later, he said he abused his wife. He also detailed his "arrogant and manipulative thinking and possessiveness."

In another journal entry, Brown wrote that his wife filed for divorce because he was abusive. He also listed losing his marriage and "living with the reputation of an abuser" as fears of his.

The Giants re-signed Brown this offseason to a two-year, $4 million deal. He was suspended one game without pay by the NFL for?violating the league's personal conduct policy, sitting out the Giants' season opener.

The team had supported him despite the arrest and allegations.

"All I can tell you is that we're aware of all the allegations, and I believe all the facts and circumstances, and we were comfortable with our decision to re-sign him," Giants co-owner John Mara said back in August.
