Ruby Y. Young mailed a letter to Starr, 72, alleging a romantic encounter with him in 1960, prosecutors said. Starr, MVP of the first two Super Bowls with the Green Bay Packers, denies knowing the woman, according to a criminal complaint affidavit filed against Young in Birmingham, Ala.

We have come a long way when a woman will publicly demand money for consensual sex. I wonder if Mrs. Young realizes that she's declaring herself a whore.
