| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Mormon newscast. It is Monday. It is June 30th. It's the very last day of June. We're heading into the 4th of July weekend. I'm Rebecca Bibliateka. I'm here with Radio Free Mormon Bill Reel. We have so much breaking news tonight that we are going to jump right in with RFM. You guys knew he'd be the one to talk about this and what's going on at |
| 0:22.4 | BYU. Why don't you take us into that right now? Well, it has to do, thank you by the way, Rebecca. |
| 0:27.6 | It has to do with this sudden ending of a lawsuit that was filed in May. So a very, very quick |
| 0:34.8 | lawsuit from filing to ending. It was signed and dismissed. |
| 0:39.4 | When I say signed, I mean signed by the judge and dismissed on agreement of the parties. |
| 0:43.3 | This is the case in which an unnamed or anonymous plaintiff accused BYU quarterback Jake Retzloff of sexually assaulting her back, I believe, was in November of |
| 0:56.2 | 2003. |
| 0:59.0 | So here's the headline from the Deserate News, today's date June 30th, 2025 by Jay Drew, |
| 1:04.1 | motion filed by both parties to dismiss civil lawsuit against BYU quarterback Jake |
| 1:09.3 | Retzlop. |
| 1:10.2 | And as I say, since the time this article came out, the order was signed by a judge. |
| 1:15.4 | It was actually Judge Coral Sanchez, if you remember her. |
| 1:18.5 | The article goes on. |
| 1:19.5 | On May 21, 2025, a woman referred to as Jane Doe, A.G., which I believe would be her first and last initials, |
| 1:26.8 | A.G, filed the civil lawsuit against Retzlaf, |
| 1:31.6 | had accused him of raping, strangling, and biting her in his Provo home the night of November 22, |
| 1:38.5 | 2002, 2003. The lawsuit sought more than $300,000 in damages for each of three causes of action to be proven at trial. |
| 1:49.9 | Friday, just this past Friday now, June 27, 2025, Retzlop's attorneys filed a response to the lawsuit in court and denied each and every allegation in the complaint. |
| 2:03.1 | Brett Slough's attorneys called the accusations ridiculous and bizarre and that the quarterback |
| 2:08.0 | and the woman had consensual sex that night. So now it is definitely official, as you had |
| 2:13.6 | been talking about in previous episodes, Rebecca, that he is definitely admitting to sexual intercourse. |
| 2:20.1 | Of course, the defense is one of consent, but consent doesn't get you so far when it comes to the honor code at BYU. |
