WTH? Why would a someone accusing another of rape meet with the accused employer? I can't imagine her attorney would think this is a good idea.

then there's this
Here's the court documents with that in there

Same thing happened to Ben who was suspended 6 games. No charges were brought against him from DA only allegations from both women. But still league suspended him for conduct detrimental to league policy. So why not Mr.Big Chest?

maybe I didn't hear it right, but while driving home a bit ago I swear NFL radio said AB's accuser is scheduled to meet with NFL next week. If true, WTH? Why would a someone accusing another of rape meet with the accused employer? I can't imagine her attorney would think this is a good idea.
It's how investigations are run. If the NFL wants to investigate, they have to interview the accuser.
What legal jurisdiction does the NFL have? that is my point. The NFL is AB's employer, not law enforcement. Put it this way: If some thug assaults me on the way home from work, my employer doesn't interview the accused thug. It is a police matter and not an NFL (read employer/employee) matter. The NFL has no say in the accusers case. The accuser is meeting with the accused's employer, not the police (legal authorities).
I hear what Spike says above, but, again, victim should talk to attorney's not the accused employer. That makes no ******' sense.
edit: and let me add, the NFL as ABs employer has no legal right to interview the one accusing their employee. She can simply say "no". The employer has no rights to the case.
I am in no way defending AB on anything, this is all entirely believable, but I am skeptical when a woman alleges sexual assault by a rich and/or famous man years after the fact and files a civil suit but never files criminal charges. Plus she kept working for him.
Clay Travis should be very entertaining today
2. That this is a huge, ugly problem not only for AB, but also for the Pats and the NFL. Since the NFL's player conduct is investigated using the same rules/guidelines as set in civil court, the NFL has a serious problem. If they determine that it's more likely than not (50% plus a scintilla) that AB raped her, then they must suspend him. But to what degree? Guys get 4 games for drugs. What is a rape allegation charge? Remember, Ben got 6 games - reduced to 4 - for much less of an allegation.
and she is photgraphed in bed with him.

Zero. They are a business, so they don't need proof or criminal conviction to punish or fire, like any other company really. I am certain she will be there with her legal council. That is how those corporate things work.
The NFL has been investigating criminal acts for decades. Anyone outside of employment doesn't have to cooperate, but if it helps their legal case, they will.
This is a civil case, not a criminal one, all that means is its basically a he said, she said, fight over money for damages. She can lie without going to jail for contempt. The NFL is an interested party because they can control the purse strings, and along with the team have a stake in all this, AB is league property.Its not Perry Mason, its the Price is Right.
