— -- 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's County 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 Los Angeles Rams.

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

The Giants re-signed Josh Brown this offseason to a two-year, $4 million deal. 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.
