Paying someone money for calling them names? Dang, that would cause alot of folks around here to be obliterated by crushing debt!
They would need a reason to "settle" with her.
1. They can not say we are paying her not to testify. That is illegal.
2. They can not say they are paying her because the raped her. They would then be prosecuted based on their admission.
3. So they settle any action she would have against them for calling her names.
As I said they have to have a reason to give her money.
