The woman accusing rapper Nelly of having raped her Saturday in Auburn, Washington, now says he has demeaned her in a letter his legal team. Nelly's accuser says his legal team is trying to intimidate, bully, and defame her in the media.
Via TMZ:
The alleged victim’s attorney, Karen Koehler, says Nelly fired off a letter to prosecutorslaying out what she views as verbal attacks made by Nelly’s team since TMZ broke the story of Nelly’s arrest. In the letter she says, “It is morally reprehensible for an accused person and his bully lawyer to issue derogatory and defamatory statements against a young alleged rape victim.”
She adds, “It is also criminal — in the State of Washington — when those vicious attacks are issued in the form of threats.”
Koehler singles out Nelly’s attorney for saying the accuser is “a person with an agenda and clearly she has one. The agenda is money, fame and notoriety.”
Koehler’s letter includes the legal statutes regarding intimidating a witness — which is a class B felony in Washington.
