Shannon Sharpe has settled the $50 million lawsuit filed against him. Sharpe, 57, was accused of rape in a lawsuit filed in April by a woman identified only as Jane Doe. She requested $50 million in damages and accused Sharpe of raping her twice.

Sharpe publicly denied the allegations immediately after his accuser filed the suit in April, calling the case a "shakedown" attempt.

A $50-million lawsuit that accused Shannon Sharpe of rape has been settled. 'All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed,' the accuser's attorney said.
