A temporary restraining order has been issued against Patriots [team stats]’ receiver Randy Moss, after a Florida woman alleged he beat her and then refused to allow her to seek medical attention on Jan. 6, according to court documents.
Rachelle Washington, 35, of Fort Lauderdale, filed a petition for a restraining order in Broward County on Monday. A temporary injunction was issued Monday against Moss by the Broward County court, ordering him to stay at least 500 feet away from her, her home and her car.
At Gillette Stadium this morning, Moss addressed the allegation, saying he’s “never laid a hand on a woman in 30 years.”

He asked fans not to rush to judge him.
A hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 28 at the Fort Lauderdale courthouse on the restraining order and the woman’s allegations.
In the court papers, Washington says the alleged incident occurred on Jan. 6 at her home. Washington alleges Moss committed “a battery upon (Washington) causing serious injury. (Moss) refused to allow (Washington) to seek medical treatment.”
Washington claims the two have been in an “intimate relationship since 1997.” She also claims in the papers that Moss has guns and has “a drug or alcohol problem.”
On Jan. 6, the Patriots were in the midst of their bye week, preceding their first playoff game on Jan. 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars [team stats].
Moss had one catch in the 31-20 win over the Jaguars. The Patriots are currently preparing for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the San Diego Chargers.

maybe goodell will suspend him from the super bowl.

Someone said on the Vikes board that on the radio the woman offered to drop it if he paid her a certain amount of money.

Seems suspect.

[DaleJrGirl]

So what happens if the chargers invite her to sit behind their bench?

[ariniaxia]

I call BS on this one.

[perhilzit]

I like moss's explanation

I never hit no woman

but to his credit, he did basically say, given his past, he can see why people would doubt his innocence

and to this serious injury, her finger needed to be put in a splint, which moss admits happened.

she called him few days ago demanded half a million or she'd go public.

[Teligacio]

He's also known her 11 years. His attorney said in an interview on the radio last night that he had dinner at her house, watched a playoff game and then there was some "horseplay." She hurt her finger and he helped her get some ice on it. He left about an hour later. She got upset because he said he wouldn't be coming back the next day.

Five days later, her attorney demands $500,000 or they go public. Moss says no.

Apparently the finger didn't have a cut and x-rays were negative. She had a splint on it, however. That is as far as the injuries go.

There is no criminal investigation. It is only a civil case.

With the right jury, she'll win 2 mil.

At least in this type of proceeding -- an order for protection -- there is no money at stake. She'll have to bring an entirely separate civil lawsuit to get any money.

I think her plan to get some money out of him backfired.

[bridsanaeds]

maybe goodell will suspend him from the super bowl.

If they make it that far.

on tv they had said that moss called this an accident? how does this go from 'didnt hit no woman' to 'accident'. moss should do what he has most of this year and stay away from the camera, he sounds like an idiot.

[PrettyFifa12]

yeah, he didnt hit her, she did get hurt while he was around, sounds like she stubbed her finger.

Apparently, during the "horseplay", something happened to her finger.

Moss: "I told her not to put her finger in there, because someone might get hurt. That's not a comfortable place to have a finger...."

[xpllmr]

how do you stub your finger?

is that like jamming it?

[avaissema]

yeah, jammed her finger.

hurts, your finger swells up a bit, but well, not a 500k injury

[xtrupoke]

money grubber.

I find it hard to believe that they have been friends for this long and she wouldn't be able to just ask Moss for half a mil. Guess they really can't be friends anymore.

Very interesting timing to say the least....What a horrible time for all of this to come out. Could most defintetly lead to distractions if it continues to play out and more and more details come out this week.

[k5wTvu9f]

Meant to add, he has meant so much to the pats in ways other than his recieving. He has proved he could be a team player, a good teammate and more..

Just a bad time for this to come out

welcome to the boards steele.

I think it was all planned out this way, it is hard to trust the woman on the other side of this. Moss may have a bad rap sheet, but this might be a little too much to throw up there during the playoffs.
