Seems as though the only thing that New England Patriot wide receiver Randy Moss can’t catch is a break. Moss is being accused, by a Florida woman, of “battery causing serious injury”. The affidavit, which you can see here, filed by Rachelle Washington of Fort Lauderdale Florida was filed in a Broward County Court this past Monday, issued a order of protection against Moss. However, no criminal charges have been filed against the all-pro wide receiver.

Moss, who denies any of the accusations, said today in the locker room of Gillette Stadium that this woman was trying to extort money from him and he did not hurt her. Moss said that he knew this woman for 11 years and was in an intimidate relationship with her.

Moss had this to say to the media: “All I know is that it was a friend of mine, a young lady. It was an accident where she hurt herself…to where they called me, called my attorneys trying to get X amount of dollars out of me and if we don’t get X amount of dollars, we’re going to go to the press before the game, before this game.” Moss goes on to say, “I am aware of what’s going on and I don’t really want people to rush quick to judgment and not knowing the facts. My teammates don’t have anything to do with this. They don’t know anything. I think this was just brought to their attention.”

Moss has had a quiet time so far playing with the New England Patriots, he seemingly put his past legal issues behind him and has been a model citizen so far this year. Moss was not quiet on the field however, catching a NFL record 23 touchdowns.

According to the affidavit the case is scheduled for January 28th, just 6 days before the Super Bowl.
