Back in January of 2010 Mavilia filed a civil suit against then Arizona Cardinals cornerback Eric Green. Mavilia claimed that Green sodomized her.
A criminal complaint was never filed, so at first glance people just thought it was a money grab until this came out back in 2010.
Miss or is it Mr. Angelina Mavilia claims that current San Francisco 49er cornerback got a little frisky with her/him in his condo back in Arizona when he was playing with the Cardinals.
The two met in a Scottsdale, Ariz., casino in early 2009 when Green still played for the Arizona Cardinals, the 38-year-old East Side woman says in papers filed in federal court in Florida, where Green was born and lives.
They went back to his condo, where Green, 27, assaulted her, she charges. He then got “extremely agitated and threatening,” according to court documents, and warned: “This never happened. You’d better not tell.”
So, once Green figured out she was a he, he flipped out.
The story faded away until today where it has been discovered that Green has paid off Mavilia to make the case go away.
On October 7, 2011, the two parties agreed to settle the case. Green, representing himself, agreed that he would pay two amounts. First Green agreed to “pay Plaintiff an agreed upon sum certain by October 21, 2011.” Second, “a stipulated final judgment shall be immediately entered in favor of Plaintiff for an agreed upon sum certain, separate from and in addition to the sum referred [above]“.
Finally on February 29, 2012, that second stipulated final judgment was entered for $160,000. “Judgment is entered in favor Plaintiff… against … Eric Green in the amount of one hundred sixty thousand dollars”. (A previous report published today online incorrectly claimed Mavilia only obtained $160,000 from the case. That’s just the second sum, the stipulated amount, “separate from and in addition to the sum” paid by Green to the plaintiff in 2011.)
In Angelina Mavilia’s case against the City of New York, the parties on August 25, 2011 agreed that “that the City of New York hereby agrees to pay counsel for plaintiff, Rose Weber, Esq. and Andrea Ritchie, Esq., the total sum of … $43,000.00… in full satisfaction of all claims for costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees arising out of any claims that were or could have been alleged by plaintiff in this action.“
Curious how Green can afford to pay this when he couldn’t pay for a lawyer to represent him. Green doesn’t play in the NFL anymore, he was last seen in the Arena Football league playing for the Omaha Nighthawks.
The lesson to be learned here is to always check the merchandise before leaving the store.
