Columnist Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports was first to break the latest news about Araiza’s ongoing legal battle. As Wetzel notes:

“Araiza is making no monetary payments to the woman or admitting any guilt. In exchange for her dropping her civil suit, he agreed to drop his own defamation suit against the woman, Araiza’s lawyer told Yahoo Sports.
