The lawsuit alleges Chris Milam -- who is best known for his efforts to build the backyard development of Bee Cave -- assaulted the woman in a downtown Austin high rise.
According to the lawsuit, the rape involved asphyxiation and assault that left the woman in the intensive care unit at the hospital.
Milam's attorney told KVUE his client denies these allegations and they believe this is an attempt at extortion.
Milam is still facing up to 10 years in prison for the child indecency charge.
The woman is seeking $1 million in damages.
