The Gareon Conley story has a new chapter.

TMZ Sports reported Thursday that the Raiders’ 2017 first-round pick has filed charges against the woman who accused him of rape last year.

The case against Conley eventually went before a grand jury, which declined charges against him.

Conley is now suing the woman, claiming he lost money because of his draft-day slide as well as a potential endorsement deal from Nike.

A representative from the Raiders did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.

TMZ cited court documents it obtained, in which it reports Conley said the woman “aggressively tried to have sex with him during the night in question, but he turned her down and she was embarrassed,” and lied to officials about the alleged incident.

Conley claims the woman is liable for “malicious criminal prosecution,” according to the documents obtained by TMZ.
