I am assuming this is why its in a civil court not criminal because no prosecutor would pick this case up. You can be around someone/be in videos/ even be half naked with someone in their bed and still not consent to anything, it's just very difficult if not impossible to prove that in criminal court.

TMZ already reported that she never filed police report or went to prosecutor. No prosecutor/police knew about this so that's why it's not in criminal court.

I guess the point is that they said in the suit that there was only professional relationship nothing intimate and then there's a video of her sitting half naked in ABs bed which would suggest that there indeed was an intimate relationship. [Reply]

Dude, you can't just keep saying something and make it true. As far as we can tell she's clothed. AB isn't. Of course that could be his Harvey Weinstein side coming out. We can't tell anything from that video [Reply]

Doesn't it seem to reason that she would seek more if it were really about money? She could have went after him to 7x that and kept her name out of the news. To me it seems like a person who wants some type of justice.
I have known a victim of such a crime, one in which the accused had friends in high places and I can tell you that there could have been a lot of intimidation going on from his lawyers/friends/ etc. it is a possibility that she tried to go to the police and the DA declined to prosecute. It could be that she got legal advice and they told her she wouldn't likely win in criminal court.
If this were the case, one would think there would be a police report somewhere. However, there is different confidentiality rules and I am not aware of all of them. It's possible she went to the police station and no charges were filed. This is all just speculation of course we don't know. It could also be entirely possible she made it all up. At this point we need the evidence to show up to make a call on it.
I do think he should be put on the Commish Exempt list based on his recent actions and now this. Looking at the history of players put on it though i doubt it. No if a criminal charge comes out.... yea he's toast.
FYI, Mr. Internet Attorney ...
75k is the minimum you must demand in order for a case to be filed in Federal court. That is not the final demand and usually isn't.
An example is the case of the Nigerians vs. Jessie Smollett et al. in which they wanted to file in Federal court (due to the interstate aspect of the case ... which is the same situation here). They filed for 75k (the minimum). Once filed, the damages can be requested in court and awarded by the jury (or not ... as the case may be).

Oh no.
We don't have someone else who thinks the Gruden pictures look suspiciously like Gruden, do we?

Parody is well and truly dead...
the pic i saw was small - I get the photoshop - I just didn't make the connection and was under the impression she was white - since the original pic this AM that I saw was tiny - okay so that was photoshopped all along? Got it! [Reply]

The 75k is meaningless in real terms.
