Quick Glance: Financial Settlement in Dropping of Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Matt Schlapp
  • Upon Matt Schlapp's announcement of the dropping of the sexual assault and defamation lawsuit against him, it was not disclosed that the accuser was actually paid to withdraw the lawsuit.

  • Schlapp's financial success due to a technicality drew the attention of his accuser, who also had issues with a statement released in his name without his consent.

  • New allegations suggest that the legal battle may be reignited shortly after its conclusion.

  • The costs of Schlapp's defense had already exceeded a million dollars, with warnings that a settlement of over 2 million dollars would break the organization and lead to financial difficulties for ACU.
