Gareon Conley files countersuit against woman accusing him of rape

Oakland Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley has filed a counter lawsuit against the woman who said he raped her in a Cleveland hotel room last year.

Conley's lawsuit, filed on Monday in reaction to a civil suit filed by the woman in April, alleged that the accusation affected his draft stock, "costing him millions of dollars" and endorsement deals, "including a contract with Nike."

Before the accusation surfaced, the week of the 2017 NFL draft, Conley was seen as a potential Top 10 selection out of Ohio State. Instead, he fell to the Raiders at No.
