Two Former Celtics Settle Lawsuit in Rape Case
Walker also is named in the lawsuit but has refused to pay. He did not participate in the alleged assault but is accused of walking through a bedroom while it took place.
U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns hasn’t entered a final judgment since granting a motion to dismiss the case.
A lower court has ruled that Walker had no duty to stop the alleged assault, but that ruling was overturned in federal court last year.
Walker’s lawyer, Nicholas Theodorou, said, “Antoine continues to defend the case vigorously.”
The woman said she was raped by Billups, Mercer and Walker’s housemate in a bedroom of Walker’s Waltham home after meeting the players at a comedy club.
No criminal charges were filed.
