Eight months after a 29-year-old woman said that NBA star Kristaps Porzingis raped her inside his apartment, she contacted the New York Knicks' legal department to seek to "mediate in private" a payment of $68,000, according to emails obtained by ESPN.


At the time of the woman's documented communication with the Knicks' legal staff -- late October through early November -- no criminal complaint had been filed with New York police. The Knicks eventually referred the woman to Porzingis' personal legal representation.


ESPN obtained a series of text messages between the woman and Porzingis, as well as emails between her and the Knicks. The texts and emails portray a woman who wanted to pursue a romantic relationship with Porzingis in the aftermath of the alleged assault in February 2018, but who also wanted him to honor what she says was his commitment to contribute $68,000 to a college fund for her brother.

According to the emails, the woman, who lived in the same apartment building as Porzingis, told the Knicks that she went to Porzingis' apartment to get his autograph in the late-night hours after Porzingis suffered a serious knee injury at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 6, 2018. After what the woman told the Knicks was an "extremely aggressive encounter," she said Porzingis agreed to co-sign a statement with her that promised his payment of $68,000.


Porzingis' attorney, in a statement to ESPN, said he believes the document is "a forgery."


Attempts to reach the attorney for the woman were unsuccessful.


The New York Post reported Saturday that the woman told New York police on Thursday of an alleged rape that she said occurred in the early-morning hours of Feb. 7, 2018, in Porzingis' apartment. The NYPD would not confirm to ESPN that an investigation is underway.


Porzingis' attorney, Roland G. Riopelle, said in a statement Saturday, "We are aware of the complaint that was made against Mr. Porzingis [on Thursday] and unequivocally deny the allegations."


The statement also noted that Porzingis' legal team made a formal referral on the player's behalf to federal law enforcement on Dec. 20, 2018, "based on the accuser's extortionate demands. We also alerted the National Basketball Association months ago and they are aware of the ongoing investigation of the accuser by federal law enforcement."


Porzingis, 23, was traded to the Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 31, but he has not played this season as he continues to rehab a torn left ACL.


The Knicks declined to comment Sunday.


Mavs coach Rick Carlisle on Sunday said Porzingis, who is not currently with the team as he continues to work out in Dallas, said the accusations won't impact Porzingis' availability for practice. Carlisle also said if Porzingis wants to take time away from the team, the Mavs are open to that.


Michele Roberts, executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, issued a statement Sunday: "We have been aware of these allegations for some time, have evaluated the accuser's claims and, based on what is presently before us, stand with Kristaps."


The woman's correspondence with the Knicks' legal staff came in the aftermath of text message communication between her and Porzingis. Texts sent in the weeks following the alleged assault included the woman asking to spend intimate time with Porzingis. Some of those messages included the woman sending explicit photos of herself.


It is unclear if Porzingis and the woman had any sexual encounters after the alleged assault, or how much additional text correspondence there was between the two. In the texts reviewed by ESPN, the woman appeared to become increasingly frustrated that Porzingis was friendly when they crossed paths in their apartment building, but remained far less responsive via text communication.


After asking the Knicks in October to help her get the $68,000 from Porzingis, the woman emailed the Knicks a series of text messages that included Porzingis' invitation to visit his apartment the night of the alleged assault. Porzingis told her that he was "drunk," according to the texts. The woman agreed to come to his apartment, responding: "I'm not fancy at all. I'm in flip-flops and a night dress. I'm basic. ..."


In the handwritten letter that she described as a contractual agreement with Porzingis for payment of $68,000 -- a copy of which was obtained by ESPN -- Porzingis' name is misspelled and it is unclear whether the signature belongs to him.


In the alleged agreement, the woman wrote: "This agreement effective February 7, 2018, acknowledges the fact that an unexpected escalated sexual intercourse due to an inevitable physical attraction on the part of Kristap (sic) occurred subsequently, warrants compensation payable towards (the woman's) siblings college tuition in the amount of $68,000. ...


" ... Mr. Kristap (sic) willingly offered several compensations to (the woman) including business investments. (The woman) ultimately settled with Mr. Kristap's (sic) offer of a $68,000 check."


In a statement to ESPN on Sunday, Riopelle said: "Mr. Porzingis denies signing the alleged contract, which we believe is a forgery. When asked to produce the original contract for handwriting analysis, the complainant declined to do so."


In her correspondence with the Knicks, the woman included a photograph that she said showed hair loss and broken nose cartilage, "from when he repeatedly hit me." Several days after the alleged encounter, the woman wrote that she had to pay "about $10,000" for corrective surgery.


In an Oct. 30, 2018, email to the Knicks, the woman wrote: "After the extremely aggressive encounter, he was very apologetic, loving and caring ... hence, the offer he made to pay my (little) bro's tuition + more. ... Although how he treated me was horrendous, as a Knicks fan, I do not want him to get him in any trouble with the law. I stayed back and enjoyed the rest of the time I spent with him. It's crucial to note the fun times I had with him doesn't negate the fact that he offered to compensate me as a soothing gift even though I didn't ask him to." The woman said she stayed with Porzingis until 11 a.m. the day after the alleged assault.


Besides the $68,000 payment, the woman also wanted the Knicks to assist in the return of a pair of sandals she termed her "favorite Jordan gray and orange slides." She also had texted Porzingis for the return of the shoes, and he acknowledged she left them in his apartment.


In an email sent to Porzingis' legal team also dated Oct. 30, 2018 -- based on the Knicks' initial phone conversation with the woman -- Jamaal Lesane, the Knicks' vice president of legal affairs, described the woman's side of the story this way: "She went up to Porzingis' apartment with a notebook to get his autograph. Once she was inside Porzingis' apartment, 'Porzingis had his way with me without my consent.' Later, Porzingis offered her money 'when he knew was wrong.' Porzingis offered to pay the tuition for (the woman's) brother's education in the amount of $68,000."


In an email, the woman asked the Knicks' legal team to keep the information between her and the organization. She concluded, "I will litigate this matter if the Knicks legal team fails to properly mediate in private."


The Knicks appeared to end communication with the woman in early November. In an email dated Nov. 6, the Knicks' legal staff informed the woman that Porzingis had "decided to retain counsel to represent him and they will be in touch with you shortly. The New York Knicks will not have any further involvement on Kristaps' behalf."

It will be easy to see if she was texting him pics and romantic things after the alleged incident. If those things happened then she belongs in prison.

That article also left out that the night she was "raped" is the night he tore his ACL in a game - nor does it mention that she is under federal investigation for extortion

She is a slut taking advantage of an unintelligent foreigner who does’t know the ways of the world.

Imagine his first thoughts when He got off the canoe in NYC and saw rats half his size running around the dumpsters while
Watching drug dealers and robbing the whites

Cases like that are impossible to prove and he has the means and the connections more tia she does. She is likely just hoping for a payoff hoping he will do it to avoid embarrassment. Rape charges are damaging to ones social life. Haha

I think there are a lot more details for this. Although this article left out some stuff I read yesterday. The timeline of events makes no sense. If I had to guess, I would say money grab.

[h=1]New details emerge about Kristaps Porzingis rape accuser[/h]
The woman who says former New York Knick Kristaps Porzingis raped her later sent him explicit photos of herself and tried to shake down the team’s legal department for cash — all before reporting the alleged crime, according to a new report.


The unnamed 29-year-old woman, who says Porzingis forced himself on her inside his posh Manhattan apartment hours after suffering a devastating knee injury Feb. 7, 2018, contacted the Knicks’ legal department to “mediate in private” a $68,000 payment, ESPN reported, citing copies of her emails and text messages.


She communicated with franchise lawyers from October to early November but did not file a police report until Thursday, when she walked into the 10th Precinct station house and reported Porzingis beat her and called her a “bitch” and “my slave” during the encounter.


NYPD sources have said the accuser is “believable.”


But the woman stayed with Porzingis from the alleged 2 a.m. rape until 11 a.m. and “enjoyed the rest of the time I spent with him,” she told the Knicks in an email. She later sent text messages to the 23-year-old Latvian seeking intimate time and even sent him explicit photos of herself, ESPN reported.


The accuser, who lives in the same apartment building as Porzingis, also became increasingly enraged that the basketball star was cordial in the hallways but did not return her text-message overtures, according to the report. Later, she claimed that Porzingis agreed to pay her $68,000 for her little brother’s college tuition “as a soothing gift even though I didn’t ask him to,” and presented the Knicks with an agreement the two had allegedly signed.


But talks with the Knicks broke down in November, when the team told her it “decided to retain counsel to represent [Porzingis] and they will be in touch with you shortly. The New York Knicks will not have any further involvement on Kristaps’ behalf,” the site reported.


Porzingis’ lawyers told ESPN his side believes the $68,000 agreement is bogus.


“Mr. Porzingis denies signing the alleged contract, which we believe is a forgery. When asked to produce the original contract for handwriting analysis, the complainant declined to do so,” said the player’s lawyer, Roland Riopelle.

Well thats cause the circumstances are completely different.

You did read the article right?



Yes she is seeking him out. Probably forged his signature so she could get a college fund for her brother. I read the shit.

To me, all of those things don’t matter. You think shes in their room to brag to her friends? Lol they want money man.


Did he rape her? No probably not. Do people care? Seems like not really. It was breaking news all over every news channel when Kobe was accused.

How do you know the woman Kobe was accused of raping didn’t have agendas like this woman? Most likely she did. They all do. That’s why they scream rape. It’s the same thing.
