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).
The 75k is meaningless in real terms.
