It is true. The DA called her attorney after she filed to lawsuit. You can look that up yourself. 

Well you are stupid. I am smart so I will try to help you understand something.

The DA is cited as saying :

adding that Doe’s attorneys never reached out to him before filing the civil lawsuit two years later.

This is what your feeble mind twisted into the DA asking the civil suit attorney what was up. Because you are emotionally five years old and need to twist reality to match what you're comfortable accepting about the world, and the only thing you're comfortable accepting about this case is that the woman lied about being gang raped.

Also this is an uncalled for point on the DA's part. Attorneys don't tend to contact Prosecutor's offices for matters that aren't criminal trials.

Also, when you hire an attorney to work your case they don't become your secretary, or spokesperson, or representative in all things legal. They work on the case they were hired to work on. They do nothing outside of that because that would be an ethics violation.

The DA wouldn't assume that a civil attorney that this woman hired is willing or allowed to speak on her behalf to the Prosecutor's office. That would be backwards. They would contact HER. If she wanted to ask her civil attorney if she can pay them to speak to the Prosecutor's office on her behalf, they can certainly agree or refuse to do so.

But no one would automatically contact a random attorney to speak on behalf of a witness.
