BOSTON -- The woman accusing Patriots star Randy Moss of assault said Moss offered her a "six figure settlement" to end the matter, according to a statement issued by her attorney Thursday.

A temporary restraining order was issued Monday requiring the star wide receiver to stay at least 500 feet from Rachelle Washington who alleged he committed "battery causing serious injury" to her at her Florida home on Jan. 6.

"Ms. Washington has been unfairly characterized as someone simply seeking financial gain. In fact, it was Mr. Moss' representatives who first contacted our office to offer a 'six figure' settlement with hopes of not having this incident become public record," the statement from attorney David McGill read.

Moss has denied the allegation of assault, which he called "this situation of extortion," and said he was "furious" about it. He called what happened "an accident." No criminal charge has been brought.

"As the evidence will show, there is serious doubt that Mr. Moss is capable of recalling with clarity the exact details of what transpired that evening," the statement from McGill said.

Moss and Washington have been friends for 11 years. Washington alleged Moss refused to allow her to seek medical treatment.

"She simply wants him to take responsibility for what he has done. As a battery victim, she has shown great strength throughout this entire ordeal."

"I want to make something clear," Moss said. "In my whole entire life of living 30 years, I've never put my hand on one woman, physically or in an angry manner."

A hearing on whether to issue a permanent restraining order is scheduled for Jan. 28, six days before the Super Bowl.
