Former Bills punter Matt Araiza said he plans to sue attorney Dan Gilleon for defamation in regard to a civil lawsuit filed by Gilleon that alleged Araiza took part in a gang rape last year, Araiza said in an interview with Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel that will air Tuesday night.
The Bills released Araiza in August after he was accused of raping a 17-year-old girl along with two of his former San Diego State football teammates near the school’s campus in the fall of 2021.
Araiza told HBO’s Andrea Kremer that he has retained an attorney and would not waive his right to make any claims against Gilleon or the plaintiff in the event that the claims against him reach a settlement, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
