Antonio Brown Accuser Withdraws Rape Charge From Federal Court and Re-Files in State Court
By Chris Pyo
After everything Antonio Brown's been through over the last six months, his saga has come to a bit of a halt. AB hasn't signed with another NFL team as he awaits the legal process to take its course.
However, his litigation issues are definitely still giving him a headache. Britney Taylor, the trainer who accused Brown of sexual assault and rape, has withdrawn her lawsuit from federal court and plans on re-filing her case in a Florida state court.

Taylor reportedly met with NFL investigators last month regarding her relationship with Brown, although no disciplinary action has been taken by Roger Goodell yet. Brown continues to vehemently deny Taylor's allegations, and has stated that he plans on countersuing his accuser for civil extortion.
It looks like Brown, who was released by the Patriots after playing one game for them, is staying in shape in hopes of another NFL team picking him up.

At this point, however, with an impending court case and a potential punishment coming from the NFL after the dust settles, the chances of Brown finding a new home anytime soon are slim.
