You know some random woman won't have 5mil+ in her live time.
Guess it's just to punish her, which I guess is fine, if it is true she lied about it.

Unfortunately most of the Gold Diggers have nothing which makes a civil suit minimally impactful.

The criminal justice system needs to be more progressive on this issue. Serious jail time for one of these Gold Diggers would discourage many others, IMO.

Maybe the civil trial could uncover facts and get things on record that would help to move it to a criminal charge.

Yes, it's better than doing nothing.

Also awareness and publicity is how things progress in this country. Enough civil trial wins could help change the laws/attitudes in regards to the criminal side of the issue.

Based on the Zeke standard, he should still get a six game suspension.

Seriously though, wish the league would do something to protect their players from the predator baby mamas and extortionists.

there needs to be some accountability for falsely accusing someone...
At the very least the NFL needs to get a grip on reality in these situations. It's a potential HUGE problem. In fact, it already is as far as I'm concerned.

I agree 100% but the "groups" out there will say it will scare victims from coming forward...

And there is the real problem with false accusations like this, be it in the NFL, or any other public walk of life, they poison the pool for the those true victims.

Good. I hope it’s proven that this woman was lying and gets thrown in the slammer. If it comes out she’s telling the truth.. different story.

Being a scorn lover or ex is not a reason to make false allegations.

Courts shouldn’t be wasting time/resources with fake victims, there are real victims that need justice.

Until they start being prosecuted, the problem is only going to get worse. Repercussions is the only thing that would keep a sorry excuse for a human being like this from taking this sub human action. And the liars make it so hard for the real victims.

Another big problem no one is talking about is divorcing mothers accusing the divorcing father of secksual misconduct w/ their child.

But....but.....but..... this will have a "chilling effect" on women and stop them from confronting their abusers!!!! :rolleyes:

Here's my suggestion: Let the athlete sue them for whatever amount they choose from 1 penny to $100 million with one stipulation:

Whoever loses has to pay the legal fees and court costs. If the defendant wins, they pay nothing.

if it can be 100% proven she was lying I'm all for her getting locked up for as many years as he would if he were convicted, and maybe then some more on top just for trying to ruin his life.

the penalty for falsely claiming rape should be at least as much as the penalty for rape.
i am all for making the false accuser apologize on TV to the accused. Public embarrassment goes a long way to prevent such things IMO
