The attorney representing Rachelle Washington, the Florida woman who filed a temporary restraining order against Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss, has issued a statement in the case.

David McGill’s statement comes from NBCSports.com. 

“For the past 11 years, Ms. Washington has cared deeply for Mr. Moss and has been there for him throughout all of his trials and tribulations. However, she refuses to be further disrespected by him. It has never been her intention to hurt Mr. Moss in any way. However, she has suffered mental and physical harm as a result of his actions. She simply wants him to take responsibility for what he has done. As a battery victim, she has shown great strength throughout this entire ordeal.

“Ms. Washington has been unfairly characterized as someone simply seeking financial gain. In fact, it was Mr. Moss’ representatives who first contacted our office to offer a “six figure” settlement with hopes of not having this incident become public record.

“We have heard Mr. Moss’ statement regarding the incident. He has acknowledged that he was at Ms. Washington’s Florida residence and that he was “guilty” of an “accident” which occurred. However, Mr. Moss fails to mention how his reckless and degrading conduct rendered Ms. Washington unable to drive her vehicle to seek medical attention. As the evidence will show, there is serious doubt that Mr. Moss is capable of recalling with clarity the exact details of what transpired that evening. As Mr. Moss has previously stated, “Do your homework and check his resume.

“We look forward to presenting all of the evidence at the court hearing on January 28, 2008.”

But wait there’s more:

The ProJo on it’s blog has this from Moss’ Minnesota attorney, Joe Friedberg, who represented Moss in the metermaid incident when he was with the Vikings.

Friedberg contends it was “consensual horeseplay” and that Washington injured a finger in the process.  And that she had an x-ray done on the finger at the behest of her attorney and it was negative.

Friedberg also added that no criminal charges will be filed and that Moss does not need to be present at the January 28th hearing in Florida.  Moss has also hired a Florida attorney, Richard Sharpstein, to represent him.
