The alleged victim is the same woman who accused former 49er Ray McDonald of raping her on the same night.

Brooks is mentioned as a co-defendant in a lawsuit against former 49ers defensive end Ray McDonald, who the alleged victim claims raped her on the same night. The woman's claim is essentially a counter lawsuit after she was sued by McDonald for defamation.
According to the complaint, the woman has been made aware of a surveillance video at McDonald's home that she claims will show the following events:
In December 2014, the woman "slipped and fell on a negligently maintained, dangerously slippery deck near the swimming pool and struck her head." She claims that a result, she was knocked unconscious for over eight minutes. The woman claims McDonald did not call 911 because he didn't want to be liable for a "dead female to be found on his property."
The woman also claims that after she woke up, she slipped again and was once again lost consciousness. During that time, she says Brooks "groped her person in a sexual manner" and was then "carried upstairs by [McDonald] to his bedroom," where he "engaged in un-consented touching, restraint, and sex" with her.
Allred is citing a California law that is meant to "encourage reporting to law enforcement so that victims or witnesses who report can do so without fear of being sued."
In her motion on behalf of the alleged victim, Allred contends McDonald's defamation claim "is a lawsuit by a powerful NFL player to bully — and further victimize — a rape victim who had the bravery to report the crime to the local police."
The Santa Clara County district attorney's office, however, has not filed charges against McDonald, although he was swiftly dropped from the 49ers when the allegations came to light.
In August 2014, McDonald allegedly physically assaulted his then-fiancée, but no charges were filed either due to insufficient evidence.
Still, the allegations were eventually enough for the 49ers to justify his release due to a "pattern of poor decision making."
He has since been signed by the Chicago Bears.
I mean, it worked, right?

New England Patriots staffers intentionally broke NFL rules by releasing air from AFC Championship game balls, and star quarterback Tom Brady was "generally aware" of the violation, an official report released Wednesday concluded.
"Based on the evidence developed in connection with the investigation and summarized in this Report, we have concluded that it is more probable than not that New England Patriots personnel participated in violations of the NFL Playing Rules and were involved in a deliberate attempt to circumvent those rules," lawyer Ted Wells wrote in his report for the NFL.
"Based on the evidence, we also have concluded that it is more probable than not that Tom Brady was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of McNally and Jastremski involving the release of air from Patriots game balls."
The report concludes that though the personnel deflated the footballs, Brady himself was responsible for orchestrating the scheme. Based on text messages and gifts given to an attendant from Brady, Wells' report determined:
[I]t is unlikely that an equipment assistant and a locker room
attendant would deflate game balls without Brady's knowledge and approval. Based on our
interviews and assessment of McNally and Jastremski, we also do not believe that they would
personally and unilaterally engage in such conduct in the absence of Brady's awareness and
consent.
Text messages between McNally and Jastremski show a contentious, but obedient relationship with the quarterback:
McNally: Tom sucks...im going make that next ball a fuckin balloonJastremski: Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done... I told him it was. He was right though...
The report found that a needle was used to deflate the footballs:
Jastremski: Can‟t wait to give you your needle this week :)McNally: Fuck tom....make sure the pump is attached to the needle.....fuckin watermelons coming
Jastremski: So angry
McNally: The only thing deflating sun..is his passing rating

“They should be happy because he tried very hard.”
A video recently surfaced of Cristiano Ronaldo at a Japanese Q&A last year.
It captures the absolutely adorable moment when a young Japanese fan attempts to ask Ronaldo a question in Portuguese.

The former Knicks executive, who was found guilty of sexual harassment of a fellow executive, was named president and part owner of the New York Liberty on Tuesday.
The Knicks announced Tuesday that Isiah Thomas was named president of the WNBA's New York Liberty and that he will have an ownership stake in the team.

The same statement included comment from Knicks owner James Dolan, and a short list of accolades Thomas racked up during his NBA career and after.
Missing from the abbreviated biography, though, is that Thomas was successfully sued for sexual harassment in 2007 by Anucha Browne Sanders, a former Knicks executive. Thomas was a front office executive and coach for the Knicks at the time.
Browne Sanders was fired for complaining about Thomas' harassment, and the jury found Madison Square Garden and James Dolan liable for millions of dollars for retaliation and for allowing a hostile work environment.
In testimony, Browne Sanders said Thomas " routinely addressed her as "bitch" and "ho" in outbursts over marketing commitments. He later did an abrupt about-face, declaring his love and suggesting an "off-site liaison." He later resigned from his positions.
Thomas's position with the Liberty was met with immediate backlash and confusion by some media and fans.
The Madison Square Garden organization announced that Isiah Thomas has been named president of the New York Liberty and that he will take an ownership interest in the team, pending WNBA approval. New owners are approved by our WNBA Board of Governors, and this process has not yet begun.
Though the WNBA did not take an immediate stance on Thomas' hiring, the statement appears to send a message that the hiring will be scrutinized.
Thomas' role as president of the Liberty, however, is not subject to board approval. How the WNBA will proceed if his ownership is vetoed but he remains president is yet to be determined.
"We did not believe the allegations then, and we don't believe them now. We feel strongly that the jury improperly and unfairly held Isiah Thomas responsible for sordid allegations that were completely unrelated to him, and for which MSG bore responsibility. In fact, when given the opportunity, the jury did not find Isiah liable for punitive damages, confirming he did not act maliciously or in bad faith. We believe Isiah belongs in basketball, and are grateful that he has committed his considerable talent to help the Liberty succeed."
