New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown has been accused of rape by a former trainer.

Britney Taylor says Brown sexually assaulted her on three occasions, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida.

Brown has denied the allegations. Darren Heitner, a lawyer representing Brown, told The Associated Press his client plans to countersue.

"He will pursue all legal remedies to not only clear his name, but to also protect other professional athletes against false accusations," Heitner said in a statement.

Heitner said Brown and Taylor had "a consensual personal relationship."

The New York Times first reported about the lawsuit.

Both the NFL Media and AP do not ordinarily name the alleged victims of sex assaults, but Taylor was identified in the federal lawsuit and was quoted in a statement provided by her lawyer, David Haas.

"As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision," Taylor said. "I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault. Speaking out removes the shame that I have felt for the past year and places it on the person responsible for my rape."

Taylor also said in the statement she will cooperate with the NFL and any other agencies.



A spokesman for the NFL declined comment to the AP, but the Patriots in a statement said the league told the team it will launch an investigation.

"We are aware of the civil lawsuit that was filed earlier today against Antonio Brown, as well as the response by Antonio's representatives," the Patriots said in a statement. "We take these allegations very seriously. Under no circumstance does this organization condone sexual violence or assault. The league has informed us that they will be investigating. We will have no further comment while that investigation takes place."

The 31-year-old Brown, a Miami native, was released by Oakland last week after clashing with the team throughout training camp. He agreed to a contract with New England on Saturday, but has yet to play for the Patriots.

Brown and Taylor met through a Fellowship of Christian Athletes group at Central Michigan University, according to the suit.

Taylor said Brown reached out to her via Facebook in June 2017 and asked the former gymnast for help with improving his strength and flexibility.

According to the lawsuit, Taylor was sexually assaulted by Brown on separate training trips to Pittsburgh and Florida that same month. The suit includes what it says are text messages from Brown bragging about the second assault.

Taylor says in the suit she then cut off ties with Brown. But she agreed to work with him again after she says he apologized and agreed to provide hotel accommodations for each training trip.

According to the lawsuit, Taylor and Brown were in Miami in May 2018 when he raped her in a bedroom at his home. Taylor says she shouted "no" and "stop," but Brown refused. 

Heitner said in his statement Taylor invited herself to join Brown and his friends on a night out on the town, and then came on to Brown before they engaged in consensual sex at his residence.

Brown was approached by Taylor in 2017, according to Heitner, about making a $1.6 million investment in a business project. But he declined.

Heitner said Taylor reached out to Brown again last year, and she traveled to his residences on multiple occasions. Heitner said she asked for tickets to a Pittsburgh Steelers game.

"Mr. Brown, whose hard work and dedication to his craft has allowed him to rise to the top of his profession, refuses to be the victim of what he believes to be a money grab," Heitner said in his statement.

Brown was originally traded from Pittsburgh to Oakland in the offseason. But a bizarre foot injury, fight with the NFL over his helmet, skipped practices, multiple fines, a run-in with general manager Mike Mayock and his social media posts ultimately led to the decision to release him.

Brown agreed to a deal with the defending Super Bowl champions hours after the Raiders let him go, granting his request.

QuoteHow Brown, Taylor met; subsequent relationship

According to the lawsuit, Brown and Taylor met in 2010 while both were student-athletes at Central Michigan.

Taylor claims the two were paired up as bible study partners during her first meeting as part of the college's Fellowship of Christian Athletes group. The lawsuit alleges she and Brown lost touch after he was drafted by the Steelers (in 2011) and after she transferred to LSU (in 2012).

After graduation, Taylor opened Taylor'ed Gymnastics Training Center in 2016 in Memphis.

According to the lawsuit, Brown and Taylor reconnected in June 2017, at which time he "indicated he wanted Ms. Taylor's help improving flexibility and strength in his ankles and fast twitch muscles — areas in which she had developed expertise through gymnastics."

Taylor agreed to "provide physical training services to Brown."



The complete allegations

The lawsuit lists five separate causes of action.

Brown allegedly raped Taylor on May 20, 2018 at his Miami home, after visiting a nightclub along with an unnamed football player.

The lawsuit also alleges two incidents of sexual battery in June 2017, false imprisonment, invasion of privacy and emotional distress.

Taylor is seeking an award of damages to be determined at trial for all non-monetary and compensatory harm, punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial and "such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper."

Sovereign.

99% of the time the victim who comes forth stating she sexually assault is telling the truth. This is a cat with access, resources and privilege. He's an athlete and sports culture acts a pillar for patriarchy. I most certainly believe the victim.
