BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff's attorney has categorically denied allegations made in a civil lawsuit claiming he raped, strangled, and bit a woman. The lawsuit states Retzlaff and the unnamed woman engaged in consensual sex in November 2023 and exchanged friendly messages until February 2024. Retzlaff's defense characterizes the lawsuit as an extortion attempt, suggesting the woman's motives relate to his emergence as a potential NFL prospect after their encounter. The circumstances surrounding the events are outlined in both the lawsuit and Retzlaff’s response.
Mr. Retzlaff specifically and categorically denies each and every and all allegations that he bit, raped or strangled [the woman], which are ridiculous and bizarre allegations, all of which are false and untrue.
Retzlaff began escalating the situation ... and Jane Doe A.G. tried to de-escalate the situation and attempted to slow things down, trying to pull away, and saying 'wait.' She did not want to do anything sexual with him.
The response claimed that Retzlaff and the woman had consensual sex at Retzlaff's apartment in November 2023, and that they had lighthearted text messages exchanges into February 2024.
The civil lawsuit is characterized as an extortion attempt based on the idea that Retzlaff developed into an NFL prospect roughly a year after their encounter.
