The Ray McDonald situation (subsequently joined by Ahmad Brooks) continues to roll along. McDonald is out of the NFL right now, having been released by the Chicago Bears, but his legal issues continue.
Late last year, McDonald was accused of sexual assault. Earlier this year, McDonald filed a defamation lawsuit against his accuser. She responded with an Anti-SLAPP motion. California has an Anti-SLAPP law that is meant to protect free speech rights. An individual can file a motion to strike a complaint that arises from activity exercising the rights of petition and free speech.
