But Constand and her attorneys said they “were not privy” to those discussions, and knew only that Castor had issued a news release that “had no meaning or significance to us” in regard to Castor’s agreement not to pursue criminal charges.

“Once again,” their statement said, “we remain grateful to those women who came forward to tell their stories, to D.A. Kevin Steele and the excellent prosecutors who achieved a conviction at trial, despite the ultimate outcome which resulted from a procedural technicality, and we urge all victims to have their voices heard.”
